What is the most unethical thing you've been asked to do at work?

I worked at a well-known automotive garage chain. I quit on my second day on the job,

which would have needed to be turned off in order to heat the place up.

I'm in IT. I was asked by an executive to delete very incriminating emails he had sent to an
