Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The examples listed are all unethical actions, meaning they go against moral principles and values. While some may see these actions as necessary to get ahead, they are ultimately harmful to the individual and workplace as a whole. It is important to maintain integrity and honesty in the workplace to build trust and establish a positive reputation. Breaking the law is also unethical, but not all examples listed fall under this category. Workplace distrust may be a result of unethical actions, but is not a specific example in itself.
