Do you think his dad is an imaginary character?

So, someone at work (who generally lies a lot) made sure everyone knew that his dad was visiting, and since then been taking time off because the dad is sick. I want so badly go and check if that dad really exists LOL

Decades ago I worked in an office with an older co-worker who had pretty much killed off almost every member of her family for bereavement leave.

The others knew her to be an alcoholic who periodically went on binges, had participated in company-mandated rehab…twice.
Her absence meant extra work for us, often rushed because of deadlines.

The end came when the boss received a tearful call from our colleague reporting that she wasn’t coming to work because her dear mother had passed away.

Our boss had to advise her that miraculously, her late mother had stopped by the office that very morning, looking for her, and had asked her to please get back in touch with her family. 😳

@bijouxbroussard OMG The ending is ao funny!! 🥔🤣🤣🤣 and people are leaving me comments why do you care? As if when someone is acting irresponsibly and is being absent with and without a reason doesn’t impact the rest of us, our timelines etc.

@bijouxbroussard We had one of those. Management called her out when her third grandma died.

@Crazywaterspring Wow she is so lucky to have three grandmas. Most of us only have two lol
Don’t know how true this is, I read it on the internet, but this guy had an employee who over the course of a few years called out of work on four occasions claiming her grandmother died. He confronted her about it. Turns out she had two gay biological grandmothers and two step grandmothers.

@AlienTheExtraterrestrial Okay now I am thinking maybe his dad exists. I mean if someone had four grandmas, why wouldn’t he have one dad 🥔😂

I’m not sure why you care so much. People have secrets, some tell lies for a variety of reasons. Just accept that you may not believe everything he says and let him live his life. People are so nosey and focused on other people’s business

@Onryo It just shows in how much you are invested in this post 🥔🤭

@BittersweetPotato the whole purpose of this site is to comment on posts or did you not understand that?
BittersweetPotato · 31-35, F
@Onryo Not with such enthusiasm though 🥔🤣
😬 controversial opinion.

Who cares if he's lying or not. Then again I guess I wouldn't understand as I avoid talking to literally everyone and anyone at work at all costs so maybe I'm the odd one who just doesn't care 😔

@Teggy is the only effect an irresponsible employee would have on the flow of work for others is just that someone will have to pick up the slack?
@BittersweetPotato I'm not understanding how they are effecting you. Explain it to me.
BittersweetPotato · 31-35, F
@Teggy I don’t think I care enough that you understand that lol

I stay in my own lane.

Once I stopped mentally living other people's lives.. lots of free head space.
BittersweetPotato · 31-35, F
@Punxi I am not mentally living anyone’s life. I work closely with this person and he is absent whether he is around or not. This is impacting my work quality and timelines

@BittersweetPotato No accusations.

No need to qualify.

I just said....

What I said.

And it could be that his dad is visiting because he's sick — like,terminal —and he wants to spend as much time with his dad as possible before his dad shuffles off this mortal coil.

@DunningKrugerI would have said so if that guy was not about lies and bragging all the time. He kept saying his dad is a multi millionaire coming here to start businesses LOL
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
@BittersweetPotato Yeah, OK, then. Got it.
Could be a personality disorder 🤔 like in Mr Robot, the main character created an imaginary character of his dead father.

@MethDozer I care when they are on a project I am managing and I am the ultimate person responsible to deliver on time and to a certain quality standard.

BittersweetPotato · 31-35, F
@Degbeme Nothing to expose! I am such a great potato 🥔😚
