Imagine this: you're presenting a dashboard with a lot of numbers related to either the product or the business. These numbers might put a specific manager in bad light, so he comes over to you.

"Hey, that dashboard looked awesome! Seems like the product is doing pretty well. But err... I need it to do a bit better. Y'know, just bumping up the sales numbers a bit, and maybe some more users. My bonus sorta depends on that. You can do that for me, can't you champ? You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours?!" And he slimes away again. 

The pressure is almost tangible. What do you do? How would it affect transparency? Evelien and Sander discuss this specific case in this week's video.
