HR folks are non-technical Himmlers who DESERVE to be lied to.

Their core mission is firing you in a way that prevents lawsuits.

My HR horror story goes like this:

I was at a company for 22 years and the management changeover was just atrocious so I decided to exercise my company's much ballyhooed policy of "at will employment" and I found another job and left. During my HR exit interview I was assured by the HR person that nothing I said in the exit interview would be repeated, shared with anyone else, or leave the room if I indicated the information shared was not to be repeated.

Fast forward a few months after I leave. In an open meeting of employees, one of the VP's and the President parroted two of my confidential statements (without my name attached). My friend that was still there knew because I told him those were my statements. Total lack of professionalism and ethics. Glad I left the company. Then, when the HR person was called out on it, she defended it by saying she had an OBLIGATION to report anything that might be detrimental to the company to the corporate officers. The information I shared was NOT definitively detrimental to the company and she knew it.

Rules: IF you have a job now and just want to change, then try to be honest. Try anyway. But if you are unemployed do whatever it takes. Better to have job thru prevarication then not to have a job at all. Prove yourself once you have the job, but get that job first!
