I recently posted a blog about liars and cheaters at work. Since then I have come across another study that claims to shed more light on what people lie about.
One out of five of all workers report telling a lie at least once a week. Here are their favorite fibs:
20%–I don’t know how that happened.
16%–I have another call to take or I’ll call you right back.
10%–I’ve been out of town or out sick.
10%–I like your outfit or you look great.
8%–I didn’t get your e-mail, voicemail or fax.
Let’ see what you think.
How do these stats square with your own experience? Do these kinds of lies really make a difference in your work and the results of your employer?
What do you do when you “catch” a co-worker (including your boss) in one of these kinds of fibs?
Here’s to your success!
