What should I do when "the boss" or a journeyman insists that I install something in a non-code compliant manner?

I have gotten into many arguments over this and the usual response is "Thats the way I learned" or "We've always done it that way."

Should I just go ahead and do it or refuse?
After all, they are the ones putting their license in jeopardy.

Some examples would be putting 3 12/2 RX cables in an 18 cu. box, grounding a metal box with a sheetrock screw, and installing the bond screw in a sub panel.

Anyway, I study the Code alot so its frustrating when you're told to do something you know is wrong. [Linked Image]
