How bout the lies told by the current president. Would have to add at least 2 zeros though
We have it pretty easy at my office. Every time the boss opens his mouth he’s lying, so it’s easy for us to know.
Having worked in corporate America for 20+ years this list is absolutely true.
I've heard this one. This only works until the guys start talking about how much they got. Then we all know the boss is a liar.
One more in the case of political bosses
9. I never had sex with that woman.
I'm pretty sure my father didn't give us all the details of his income and assets or split it equally with my sis, my Mom and me.
When virtually no one serves God and everyone serves Mammon, trust is non-existent. It’s a horrible world to live in, so Christians look forward to the next one.
worked at a company for 3 months when one of the old timers there said the entire office was going to close. i asked my boss and she said it was a vicious rumor. meantime she relocated from out of state and bought a new house close to the office. well 2 months later the suits arrive with the message that there will be some layoffs “in an orderly fashion”. right... the first to go were the marketing and sales people.. what? yep one month later the suits arrived again with the shut down message. 350 people out the door with jobs relocated to india and china... that is why the customer service people answer “JELLO”.... anyhow they had to pay $1 million a year in rent for 3 years after closing the office (which exceeded the entire payroll and the company unit was very profitable doing $700 mil/year with a 30% margin before taxes.. this is and will continue to happen in the ussa in every company across the board.. my boss didn’t know what was going on and the housing market concurrently dropped 30% and she got screwed royally. wall street oriented management are SUBHUMAN PIECES OF SHIT in it for the money in total disregard for the human aspect. Plus they keep profits offshore and pay little to no taxes. that is why there wil be NO REAL RECOVERY E V E R in the ussa and we are now heading to be a banana republic. Good luck.
Best to avoid this entirely and just stay on welfare.
Not necessarily a lie, and it's easy to prove mathematically. For any given salary s there is always a higher salary s+δ. By repeatedly asking for a raise - and rejecting the excuse that "we can't pay you more" - you, in some circumstances (subject to rules of calculus,) can ask for more money than is present on the planet.
For example, on your first day of work you ask for a $1 raise, and you receive it. On the second day you ask for double that amount - $2 - and also receive it. There is a chess-related mathematical problem that illustrates how geometric progressions work. But it's enough to say that within 20 work days you will be commanding a salary in excess of 1 million dollars. If you can wait another calendar week, it becomes 33 million. If you can wait yet another calendar week, it becomes 1 billion dollars. I am sure that even Microsoft would say, at some point, that "we can't pay you more."
11. Our corporation is focused on maximizing stakeholder profits on a quarter-by-quarter basis.
If we do not show an increase in revenue this quarter, we cannot justify any incerase in expenditures; that goes for travel expenses as well as personnel increases.
Sorry.
Yep — heard em all

Corpocracy is not for me. I’ll take my chances on my own.
The lies socialists say:
1) You have had a long journey. Your are dirty. Please, step into the showers...
Lies 2 to 100,000 all lead to number 1.
Just recieved a two day “suspension” written up for one thing that I did do, and another I didn’t, but, the REAL reason was because of recent incidences where I would not be dishonest with a customer. So I quit.
“Constructive Firing” I will just go on to the next shop.
I am a mechanic and I will not perform an un-needed repair nor will I blindly accept another techs diag without verifying the problem because the real problem then becomes yours. Worse shop I ever worked in.
