Do you lie to friends?

[MMI]

One lies to friends in their interests, or to avoid straining the friendship. Rarely are the lies malicious, and when they are, one isn't really being a friend at all.

White lies are good.

But what about the other, more important area of life, where one's integrity is much more important: work. Who lies at work, to cover up mistakes, to do a colleague down, to gain promotion? These lies are far more significant and the level of dishonesty is far greater.

Nope. I walked the straight and narrow. Always found it better to fess up and fix the problem than hide it and let it get worse.

Everyone got the due they earned. I never stepped up on someone elses back. I often found myself waiting on a promotion while others less qualified got their chances first... and learned that following a bad act is far easier than following a good one.
