Workplace: Can You Play Smart Pinocchio?

Generally speaking, lying in a workplace is unwise.

Big and small lies will destroy your credibility in your colleagues, customers and companies.

But can sometimes play the smart Pinocchio?

Generally speaking, lying is not good at work.

"For example, you went to a management meeting. After the meeting, a colleague asked you what was said at the meeting.

You would never say, 'we talked about layoffs.

Phil, you have to pack up and go home! 'on the contrary, you might say,' we talked about the problem of planning, '"cash said.

Getting along well, if only out of politeness, may lead you to lie.

As a saying goes, low promises are better than overcommitment or low returns, especially when tasks are completed on time.

"When a deadline is promised, you may say, 'I can give you something on Thursday,' even if you can finish it on Wednesday," says cash.
