I used to work for a place with serious ethics issues. We'd sell customized software packages along with a hardware solution, used by cities and counties. Once I was told that, per the contract, we were supposed to hand over the hardware and software for a system the next day. The software hadn't been customized or prepared in any way. Because of a loophole in the contract, it specified only delivery, not installation. So I was ordered to rent a van, load up the hardware, drive it and the software down to the county in question, and hand it all over. They handed me a data tape with the name of the county printed on it, we loaded the van, and sent I headed down.
You can imagine how well it went. I got there, and the two heads of the project down there were waiting, and expecting not only to take delivery, but to see it all installed and working. I had to explain that wasn't my task, and they got more and more upset with me. I had to tell them to call my boss to get answers, because I was just a drone. After yelling at my boss, I was instructed to do minimal setup to verify the hardware worked. I did so, but then they insisted that I prove that the tape had the software. When I did, it unfortunately showed the wrong county name, because whoever had made the tape just took another installation tape and put the "wrong" name on it. I had to tap dance a bit there, but I finally got to leave. So, unhappy me (which meant nothing to my boss) and unhappy customers (which I got blamed for).
Another time, they told me to put a label on a blank tape and ship it to a customer, to pretend to meet a delivery milestone. I refused. I think my boss did it himself.
