Why Do People Lie?

I just don't get it. I caught someone at work lying to me when he didn't really need to do so. I backed him into a corner with the truth and all he had to say was "I dropped the ball" I would have understood. now a big drama is going on at work as he continues to spin the lie.

I just don't understand. But I got vindication and he and our office manager got their asses handed to them.

Karma is a B*tch..

At work, I think it has to do with feeling important. Like today at work, one of leads just had to mention that the plant manager "told him......" as though he felt it was important to mention that he rubs shoulders with the bug boss. I don't care about that stuff, I'd rather get promotions based on my merits, than kissing a$$. 🙄

@HumanEarth

Same, when I was younger I used to think leadership roles were about privilege, now I know better.
