<prompt> Human: Hello personal finance. This one might be a little different from the norm. I work for a store that offers a credit card, Ill just say it: its Kohls, and we are required to get x number of people to apply for credit cards per day. Im fine with this, I dont have a problem with selling credit cards to people. The card isnt bad if you shop there a lot and pay your balance each month.My problem is with one of the managers who, if we are not at our credit goal will ask employees to apply, and many of them do. Sometimes they do it a lot. I always refuse. My question is this: What is this doing to their credit? Most of these are college kids like me who maybe just dont know any better. It may be unclear to them if they have to do this as a part of their job. I feel that it is very unethical for a manager to be asking employees to do this. Thanks in advance!  <response>: Yes. Thats unethical. If people want to apply on their own thats fine, but the manager is in a position of authority and can make it seem like its required or you lose your job or are penalized. You probably have an internal number to call for HR issues. Use it.
