re: #284 Lukewarm Fusion

I used to work with a person like that. It was really weird. You could see her trying out the lie, and then committing herself to it. She wouldn’t get invited out to lunch by someone who was going with a few other people, and she’d say, later “X didn’t invite me,” and then “X told me I couldn’t come to lunch” and then “X, Y, and Z didn’t invite me to lunch so they could spend all lunch talking about me.”

She lied about things that were demonstrable, too, which is similar. Just like it’s really, really easy to show you’re not a Stalinist— in fact, an anti-Stalinist, if anything— but morons claim that you are, she’d claim that someone was late to work all the time (when I was getting emails from that person right at the start of work) or that someone had filed an HR complaint about me (HR, baffled, verified there was no such complaint).

She got promoted once while I was there, which was the clear sign to get the fuck out of that company.
