I have a friend that is constantly lying to creditors and potential employers about how long she actually worked for my company. She wants me to "cover" for her which I don't. How do I explain to her that this is morally/legally wrong?

if you give a false report of employment or credit referal you can be held resposible for major legal and $$$$ battles - don't do it
-
Tell her that you would love to help her, but you're not going to jeopardize your own reputation, career, and legal standing in order to help her out. Depending on the specifics, what she's asking you to do could constitute fraud.
-
I would just straight up kick her in the chest no words. O I think she'll get the message.
-
You should just tell her.
-
Hell, i wouldn't tell her anything, just tell the new employers the truth when they call you for a reference.
-
Just tell her that is it morally and legally wrong and that she should quit using you or your company as a reference. That way, she's not putting you on the spot.
-
You can't. People who persist in this type of behavior have no clue, and aren't about to learn one. The best you can do is to not support her lies until she stops trying to make you an accomplice.
-
Tell her that a real friend wouldn't ask you to risk getting fired, having to pay a hefty judgment as the result of losing a major civil lawsuit, and going to jail.
