When somebody says:
> It's unethical to act against the express request of your employer;
What they really mean is:
> If your boss requested that you do not do that, then it is unethical to hide that you're doing that from your boss while continuing to receive salary from that boss.
If you really don't want to do something, the ethical thing is to discuss that openly with your boss, and if he doesn't agree, he can fire you. Continuing to do it behind his back is unethical.

- jules 13y agoYou always have to weigh things against each other. Is whistle blowing unethitcal if it exposes a greater evil? No. This is the case with every single possible action, not just disobeying your boss in secret. Is murder unethical? If it saves the lives of 100 people, maybe not.
