So we got a contract from a client to do two months of work (I won’t say what exactly for privacy).
However, we realized the data contained far less than what was printed on the client’s contract with us. I told my boss, and e said a few weeks ago he’s unsure how to handle this. In short, they’re paying us like 80k USD for about 20k USD of work, at least on paper.
Eventually he said to send January’s batch and January’s bill, and let them come to the realization that they’re overpaying us on their own. He didn’t seem like he wanted to defraud them, since this is a regular client of ours. He just seemed like he could avoid a complicated email and redrafting of the project by doing it this way. I didn’t think this was a sin, so for the past few weeks I agreed to do it that way.
But today is judgement day, and I have to email them the delivery and send their bill. Now I’m worried. What if they don’t realize and my boss gets greedy and let’s it fly? Now, I’m prepared to get fired over this and have no intentions of defrauding them, but is it a sin to try it my boss’s way, just send the data for January and let them figure it out on their own, and settle up for the right amount with February’s bill?
Let’s say you make a contact with us for us to print 500 copies of a book with 1000 pages each. But when we get it, turns out the books only have like 200 pages each. The contract says 1000 pages each and the customer appears to have not noticed that each book doesn’t contain anywhere near that amount.
We have an obligation to tell them, I think, but my boss wants to let them receive January’s shipment, realize it on their own, and then come to us about it (if at all?). I don’t really know why, but he doesn’t want me to say anything. If I go behind his back and tell them, I could be fired. I’m willing to do that, but I don’t know if it’s necessary.
Also asking a priest is out of the question. I have 3 hours.

.Of course what I meant by that is beware of the leaven of pharisees, which is hypocrisy(-book of Luke).
. Coincidentally so does the devil 
. Keep that in mind if your boss gets upset whichever you end up doing.
