Have you ever sat in front of another person while they talked, and you just couldn’t believe how many lies came out of their mouth?
Frankly, we don’t remember when was the last time we experienced something like that, probably not since high school, because the people we interact with today are generally mature adults who don’t lie to get what they want. But just because it’s been a while since we encountered someone who basically lies for a living doesn’t mean we are not aware that they exist.
The closest thing we adults have to high school is our workplace, in which you can find the adult version of every typical teen you knew in school. At work, you can find the mean girl, the dumb jock, and of course, the kid who lies to pin every single mistake they did on someone else. And just like in high school, if that kid goes to the teacher and blames something they did on you, you would have to build your case and prove that they are lying; otherwise, you will get into much trouble. At work, the same can happen if a coworker decides to report you to HR; as long as you don’t have proof that they are not telling the truth, your whole job can be at risk.
That is what the employee below is dealing with, after an interaction with an under-performing receptionist turned into a whole case with HR. It started when the receptionist kept making mistakes at her job, which caused delays in deadlines and general issues around the office. One employee decided to correct her and ensure she actually improves at her job, but she didn’t enjoy the criticism and reported the employee to HR for being condescending to her. After the first report, the employee decided to record every interaction they had with the receptionist, so when she decided to turn to HR again, her lies wouldn’t be so easily accepted.
