What we've learned in this thread, lie and boast, get slammed. What we know, this is how the world is. Don't like it, stay in your little safe space and quit trying to lie, and bad things don't happen?

Speaking of which, just fired an employee today who was a consistent liar and performed poorly. They came back after the shift to see if I'd give them another chance, and I politely told them best wishes in finding another job.

So as you can see, when you lie it doesn't help, it just keeps growing and growing and making the person look worse and worse until finally they break or others get tired of them.
