Despite the ropey arithmetic Mr Cochrane, I agree whole heartedly.
And to Mr Anonymous, anyone who puts his signiture to or supplies knowingly incorrect information would be liable for dismissal and possible criminal prosecution, depending on the severity of the fraud and the consequences there of. That is to say, if you lie for them it's your job that's on the line, not theirs. You don't owe them anything, but please be polite when you tell them where to go!
You cannot get dismissed for telling the truth and if they do try to dismiss you or make working life difficult for you, you will have grounds to make them answer for their transgressions at a tribuneral. Take notes and insist on memos and E-mails. Do not let them them brow-beat or bully you!
