How would you feel if someone at work continuously was lying about you and stealing your ideas and claiming them for you own? Or how would you feel if had done something and someone who was suppose to be your friend claimed it as their own work? I know for me I cannot stand liars. ..and I think they are worse then thieves..what about you???

Three of my favorite rules are don't lie, cheat or steal. I think these are 3 pretty good rules to live by, and I try to do that. I did have a boss that was always lying. Finally, I got so sick of it, I called her out on it. She got really upset, and called the president of the company. She was all crying and stuff. It was so dramatic. A few months later, I got tired of it, because nothing had changed. She just kept lying all of the time. I wrote a letter to human resources and actually documented different counts. I felt terrible and knew what the consequences would be, but I just couldn't work for her anymore. Sure enough, less than a week later. I lost my job. Good news is they actually demoted that manager. I hated it, but that's just the way it goes sometimes.

It's terrible that for speaking out that you lost your job. But, if that is what it costs it is best that you are not there.. I don't know that if this were a situation that I were in that I would complain to often..Seems that some companies prefer not to see snags and surely don't like little peons making known their defects.

Its terrible for someone to do that.I think that the truth will all come to light. I think that they have alot to learn and have chosen to learn it the hard way. The good and the just will have their rewards and the unjust will have comsquences. It may look like they are getting by with it but they really, dont. The man up stairs knows whats going on and then theres always instant Karma!

I believe in "karma" ...even though I am Christian.. I know there is a phrase "what goes around comes around" so one of these times those who steal and lie will get caught.
