Well cannot say you are going for an interview and would not be coming to the office. This would not do good in anyways and thus this is one situation where it will be ok to lie...Well cannot say you are going for an interview and would not be coming to the office.

When the Boss tells lies to his BOSS

idea posted by S. Muralidharan Executive Director, Knowledge Foundation & Campus Around the Corner
If a person chases your Boss for payment, what does he do? Either he pays for the services undertaken or he would expect his sub-ordinate to lie that the Boss is not around! Since childhood, we the human beings have learnt the art of "telling lies" depending upon every situation! Hypothetical questions will only find hypothetical answers! If you want specific answer, you have to give specific situation!

I support your views Mr. Muralidharan. Yes! everybody does the same in today's life. There are some situations which can't be explained to the people whom you owe something! so we have to make excuses sometimes.

When you do something which you don't like to share to other..

idea posted by Aries Brune Tyson Software Developer, iGate Global
Its like, if you are not interested to tell anyone about something like job seeking, taking sudden leaves, moving early to home,..etc... you won't be interested to tell anyone the purpose. At that time obviously you will lie. it is not advised to tell the truth as well.. bcoz the truth may trigger another question which will irritate you... in case of official better tell the truth... Finally it is purely depends the person who is facing the difficulties to tell the truth or lie... :)
