Does anyone else get extremely annoyed when they catch leaders in a lie when you ask a straightforward question (this was a one to one conversation)?

I completely view a leader differently now who I otherwise thought had a high level of integrity and honesty. I was even thinking she could be a good mentor.

It's not so much that I get annoyed when someone lies like that, it changes the way I regard them going forward. If I know for certain they've lied about something, it's obvious they can't be trusted. At that point I don't even consider them a leader, that's a title that should be earned. They may be my boss, and I may have to do what they say, but they're not a leader.

💯 💯 - it kills the trust and that’s what sucks. I do understand wanting to protect feelings, but ironically, not telling the truth can backfire like this.

I’m curious since you’re a Director - are you forced to lie sometimes? That would be so inconsistent with many people’s values. 🥴

I don't get annoyed, but I don't trust them after that and I'm less likely to believe anything they say.

I worked somewhere years ago and leadership constantly lied about various things, from revenue to the success of campaigns.

I usually try to extend compassion and understanding to people, to a certain point. But if it becomes a pattern, I stop trusting them. Especially depending on the nature of the lie and how serious it is. Or why they would lie in the first place.

Interesting take - out of genuine curiosity, when do you extend compassion and in what situations? From my perspective it’s more black and white. In other words: one lie means there will be a pattern of lies.

Yes it ruins trust

It depends on question if you ask something they can’t answer, “Am I getting laid off?” or is not your business, “did X get a raise?” Then I can see them lying, but I would probably just tell you I can’t answer that or myob. It could also be they are not lying and you don’t know the whole story.
