"There are always clients to please, rules to subvert, difficult
tasks to perform, work to shirk, and upward mobility to seek. . . .
Most people with work experience have encountered at least some
version of exaggerated resumes, exploitative bosses,
self-interested shirking, collusion against disliked colleagues,
lying to clients, and countless other variants of lies on the job.
This book tells the tale of such lies in the workplace and examines
their impact on ethics, administrating work, and productivity."
from the IntroductionAccording to David Shulman, deception is a
pervasive element of daily working life. Sometimes it is an
official part of one's work-as in the case study he offers of
private detectives, who lie for a living-but more often it is
simply part of the fabric of life on the job. Shulman argues that
workplace cultures socialize individuals into using deception as a
tool in performing their everyday work. To make his point he
focuses not on extreme cases but rather on less obvious forms of
deception, such as pretending to show deference, shirking one's
work, crafting misleading accounting reports, making false claims
to customers and coworkers, and covering up business
transgressions. Shulman analyzes the motives, tactics,
rationalizations, and ethical ramifications of acting deceptively
in the workplace. From Hire to Liar offers readers both detailed
accounts of workplace lies and new ways to think about the
important effects of everyday workplace deceptions."
