What's the most obvious lie you've ever been told at work?

@AngelUnforgiven I don't know, back then even $8 an hour was pretty good for a teenager. In 1992 my Senior year of HS, I was working in some grocery store that paid like $4.25 an hour. I would have killed for $8.

Kind of job was it?

Edit - add some stuff

@Punches yes it was pretty good dont get me wrong. Ive never made minimum wage since i can remember ive always made more than minimum wage no one that i know has ever worked for minimum wage either. It was $7.25 and Ive never made less than $8.00 even back then. The problem stemmed from a new hire making more than everyone else.

@AngelUnforgiven In my area I think it was $4 at the time.

Realistically, someone making 9 instead of 8 is not a huge difference, but for young people they tend to think it is.

I imagine the reason a new hire might have been paid more - maybe they were having problems with people not sticking around.

@Punches no im lying actually i just had to call my brother and ask he was 18 at the time and the wage was $3.35 we made $8.00 it was a government contract cleaning federal office buildings, we cleaned the court houses, i remember cleaning a DPS office and a few Post offices too.

@AngelUnforgiven Government jobs used to pay pretty well back then, I wonder if that is still the case?

@Punches idk but my mom's best friend's husband worked for the government my parents owned a small office cleaning service and he pulled some strings and got them the contract so my brother and i begged my parents to be able to work too with them he wanted to buy a car. I wanted pocket money because i had a friend who was dating an older man they had an apartment and everything and i was always broke. She was 16, he was 30. She always paid for everything and i got tired of not being able to pay my own way. The family friend, Both he and my parents have since died , his wife is still alive though.
