I work in a sales job. If sales goals are not met, we are put on discipline. One way my coworkers avoid discipline is by buying the products under the name of family members, neighbors, etc. I do not agree with this and refuse to do it but it has become a common practice in the office. Recently another salesperson who has been struggling with selling certain products has been asked by our direct managers to purchase these products in their partners name. I have ethical issues with purchasing products to avoid discipline to begin with, but to be directly asked this by management is another thing entirely. What do you all think? Is this even legal?
