Often times we are told to write about a subject in education and often times it may not apply to us. Teachers have told us to either write about something else that does apply/relate to us or make it up. It isn't a lie that you are saying this did happen, rather you are saying if this was the case then this is how it would be for me.
For example, teacher says write what you like about your favorite sports team. But you don't have one? then the teacher will say either pick any team and pretend that's your favorite team or if you had a favorite team then what would you like about them?
The difference between the above and what you are saying is that you are skipping the 'ask a teacher' part and going to pretend if you were in that situation then how would it be for you.

Or you might not like your boss’s new idea, but you have to respect your boss, so you lie and say that you love the new proposal.
White lies are still lies. I would rather have a friend be honest and tell me if i look fat in a shirt then lie and say it looks good. And you respect you boss by being honest about what you think rather then playing nice. Unless your boss is immature and will take offense to anyone disagreeing with him then i wouldn't want to work there anyway.
