Reply to: Would you ever lie to make money ?

I'd never lie and even if i did I wouldn't admit it.

If I were a KPMG consultant, maybe.

FFS It's not the fat or lack of it that is bad about that - They really did get badly beaten falling out of the Fugly Tree!!

Simple answer: "yes" and I hate my answer but I got mouths to feed. Silly justification I agree but I think this is inherently a part of human nature.

It's really should you tell the truth and remain poor. The IT ' industry ' positively forces people to lie. they want people with the latest skills with years of experience. Only the most accomplished liars can achieve that. Ever tried the line ' no I've not got any commercial experience in that technology but I've got loads of transferable skills ' ? Your CV would being burnt before your eyes and the door then slamming on your arse.

I really stuggle with lieing because of the way my parents bought me up.

However I see now that they did me no favours as lieing appears to be one of the main skills of a lot of people who earn more money than me.

I do find it quite sad really that many people would prefer to believe really postive lies than slightly negative truths

MF once got a suspended sentence for neglecting to tell clients about his social disease. Does that count?

Banks do it all the time with government approval.

Only if you fess up to your clients about that 'minor' surgery you had in Thailand

All part of the client value proposition, as you well know.
