It isn’t a disgrace not to reach the stars,
but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for.

What To Do When Your Boss Lies
So, you found out that your boss lies. Perhaps he or she is lying to you, or lying to others about you, or both. And if they're a known liar, who knows what other dishonesty they're up to? You are in a difficult situation. You need the job and the income and your boss has a lot to say about both, so you won't want to upset them. So how can you steer this stressful and difficult situation to a good outcome? I've seen many clients in this situation over the years. Whilst the path we choose depends on their specific circumstances, I see several very common scenarios. Perhaps you recognise them: |
- Your boss lies about your performance to his boss, but you have no access to them
- Your boss lied about normal salary levels/limits in order to block your pay rise or promotion
- Your boss is lying to conceal their own short-comings
- When things go wrong, your boss lies to shift the blame
- Your supervisor shares confidential information about you with your co-workers but denies it
- Your whole company is dishonest, lying is routine, and your integrity is compromised
- Your boss tells you good things in your performance review, but you don't progress
- Your boss is manipulative. You hear "do whatever it takes", "don't watch the clock", "dedicated people would...", and the pressure and the expectations are stressful and unfair.
Why do People Lie?
People tell lies because lies are powerful. They are a fast, cheap shortcut to a goal.
Most of us lie or exaggerate in trivial ways - to make a story more interesting or to gain sympathy from a friend, and the consequences are generally harmless.
But when bosses lie, the stakes can be very high. Daily misery, low morale, stress, absenteeism, illness, redundancy and poverty can all result.
My Experience with Lying Bosses
I coach people to be more successful at work. They become better at what they do, they do more of what they like (and less of what they hate), they get promoted, earn more, and become happier, And in the course of that work, I hear some amazing things about life out there in the working world.
I used to live out there. Seventeen years in large companies and five years lecturing in local college. Then my coaching practice gave me a much broader understanding of what my many clients have faced at work. This combination of experiences allowed me to develop the insights and techniques which work, in this difficult area.
The Boss Lies Bible, for you, in a Nutshell
You don't have to hire me to benefit from these powerful techniques. I've put them into a book of secrets in downloadable PDF format. Now you can learn them and use them to get justice in your workplace. You may even come to love Monday mornings! It's just 5,000 words so you can read it in less than an hour, but if you correctly apply the techniques at work over a couple of months or so, you are likely to see major improvements in your working life. Here's what's in it.
- The Psychology of Lies Why do all children and most adults lie? What do your boss's lies tell you? When you understand their underlying mentality, you can begin to think about a productive way forward, and you'll also begin to feel a burden lifting.
- Your Framework Where are you? Whether you're in a big company or a two-man outfit, I'll show you how to identify the major elements of you workplace and how they're connected together. I'll give you a process to understand your framework. When you have it, you will see exactly where your opportunities are.
- Real-World Techniques Here's the beef! For each element of your"company machine", I'll tell you how things should be at work. This will allow you to compare where you are to this standard, but I'll also list the common problems I see in each area and then I'll give you the transforming techniques. At the personal, day-to-day level, you'll decide what you can do to restore justice and a truthful culture to your workplace. There are some obvious and some surprising tools here, and I'll illustrate their use with anecdotes from my coaching practice.
That's it. When you've read the guide you'll have all you need to being the process of change at work.
