You can really get under someones skin if you show good integrity while they don't.
My boss could do better in this department. Hes terrible to he honest. Says yes to stuff that he knows is impossible. Says stuff is finished when it's not (backfired when he said he finished something when we couldn't even make it). Forgets appointments where clients have flown across the country to meet him, every job is finished behind schedule (because he lied about how long it would take to get the contract).
He a typical yes man. Say anything to get what you want.
He gets a lot done and makes good money, but it's just dirty.
He hates that I don't lie when a customer asks something and I tell them the truth. I think it subconsciously lifts the veil on his own character which makes him uncomfortable.
It's a shame that some environments require this to make progress in today's economy. If everyone is bullshitting you'll lose out if you don't.
