Good post Cody, though the situation is hypothetical for me - I hope my projection of my strict moral probity has always helped me avoid those situations. Either that or I'm just lucky!

One thing - it's toeing the line, as in obeying the rules at the start of a foot race, not towing the line as in pulling a barge or something. Sincere apologies for my pedantry.

Failing to learn and illegal activity (or pronounced procrastination / facebooking on the job) might be the cut and dried situations for me. Disobeying an order - I can see see how that could occur, but I guess we don't have orders, we have discussions about how to achieve things and agree the tasks we'll undertake.
