Lies

Telling a lie or lying to the Superiors that you took ill immediately upon reaching home, you are more likely to damage your career rather than winning their sympathy, more because you have breached their trust than because you were ill. It is to be noted that they have already started looking for an experienced, self-motivated, skilled and productive replacement, irrespective of consequences. 

Honesty and sincerity are two major things that stand you out among your colleagues. Whether in personal or professional life, a person is always regarded as being important and his/her importance is realized when the management feels that he/she is indispensable. 

As you are true to your personal life, why not be true to your professional life as well? You may rise and climb a ladder to success in your professional as well as personal life. You may earn a name or fame by virtue of your honesty and sincerity. Just by lying that you couldn’t feel well and that you could not report to your duty on time, you are wrong. For this is not the first time that you were absent without notice to the management. The management might have already surmised that maybe you are looking for an equally important opportunity elsewhere.

Never try to camouflage lies as truths. This will not help you. You will feel guilty, instead. You wouldn’t feel comfortable. You will feel shy of facing the seniors once you have taken him for a ride. However, you may feel comfortable with them if you have the guts to face them and tell them what it was real. 

The following are a few tips that can help you to cope with the situation that you think is deteriorating: 

1] Face your superiors

Tell them what went wrong with you, instead of lying to them. 

2] Assure them of the same level of spirit, motivation and zeal

If you really want to continue in your organization, there’s no harm in confessing. Assurance to them of your commitment to work with the same level of spirit and zeal as your started your career with the organization earlier will somehow help you to win their confidence.

3] Show result 

Start working and show the desired result. This shows your increased level of commitment.

4] Report to your Superiors

Reporting is one of the major constituents in an organization. This helps keep everything streamlines.

5] Avoid repeating the mistake 

Don’t ask for leave unless there is an emergency. But, this time you will not repeat the mistake. You should submit documentary evidence to ward off doubts. If, however, you can’t furnish the document, you should come back to duty at least one day before the arrival day. 

What you should always do is not to resort to lies, whether in personal or professional life. Lies – whether small or big – are lies; they have the potential to undermine your personal and professional life.
