Let’s have a nice little flashback on your day at work. Have you been entirely truthful? No? Well, worry not because same. A white lie can sometimes be beneficial; from saving your job, to getting you out of an awkward situation, preventing an argument and more. In all honesty (ironic I know), a white lie can be worth it! If you’re wondering if honesty is the best policy, it is. Lying can get out of control and become a nasty habit. But, if you really want to know when it’s considered ‘acceptable’ to lie, read on.
“I have to leave work early for a ‘made up’ appointment.”
“The client needs this document finished today!”
“Yeah, that makes sense. I totally agree!”
“I will start working on that ASAP.”
“I thought I sent that email.”
“I couldn’t do that because *blames it on some computer problem*”
“There’s an accident on the road, I’m gonna be late.”
“I’m so excited about attending the office party.”
“Omg, I love your bracelet. Where’d you get it?”
“I love all of my co-workers. We’re a family. One team. One dream.”
“No, I don’t have any money to donate to the office fund. Sorry.”
