> If I tell my boss that doing xyz is illegal

what happens when xyz isn’t illegal?




Then we'll have a nice discussion about whether it is or not (or we ask the legal team). If it's legal then it's still up to me whether I find it okay, and then it's really my personal choice if I want to leave the company over this or if I want to try to get someone else to implement it or whatever. However, that wasn't really the point being discussed.

I was specifically talking about the scenario where you're asked to do something illegal and immoral, and its illegality is not disputed by the boss or legal team or something.
