Loss of trust is a shitty thing. Trust takes years to build up, but it's very easy to lose.
The other day something happened that I keep on thinking about because it's really bothering. me. Someone lied to someone else, while smiling, about the stupidest thing: the booking of a boardroom. Not a mistake, not confusion, but a flat out lie because they had mentioned the truth shortly before.
If you're willing to lie about the inane thing to a coworker, where exactly is the line?
Have you been lying to me? How could I ever trust that you're not going to in the future? I don't think that I can, and that makes me very sad.
An easy lie. A smile. A broken trust.
