To make a long story short, I am currently working on a side project for the CEO of a publicly traded company and they asked me to do something that is not exactly illegal, but definitely on the gray side. I do not want to be involved in such gray matters and do not want to carry on with their orders. As a result of this, I have a feeling I will be terminated and have to start my career from scratch. To make matters worse, I am not officially employed by the the company (everything was done orally and not on contract.)

Can I somehow explain this situation and its terrible effects on my career trajectory in my MBA application through an essay?

Hi there,

This is perhaps not best discussed on an open forum. I'd be happy to help you but I'd suggest you send me a private message instead.

Cheers!
