**Example (filled)**

**Context**
My employer asked me to sign off on a safety report that understates a known defect. My manager says it's standard and that raising it will "hurt the team." I have documentation from engineering.

**What I am tempted to do**
Sign, keep my job, tell myself I'll fix it from inside later.

**What keeps nagging me**
The phrase *"nobody will know"* — and the image of a family I don't know using the product every day.
