You know, lying is never a good idea; this is especially true when it comes to lying to your boss. But infrequently, it’s okay to tell little white lies, like when you say you need to take a long lunch for a doctor’s appointment when you are actually having a long lunch with your friend. Or, for example, the impulsive little lie you say when your boss asks if you called that client you promised you would when in fact you don’t even know what client he is talking about.
At first, these little lies are harmless; as long as you are careful enough to cover your tracks. However, this is not always the case. You can’t always be lucky; there will be times where your boss catches you lying.
So, how do you handle such situations and avoid being the deceitful, unreliable employee of the office? Well, here are a few steps to follow:
　Do Not Extend The Limit Lies
It happens to the best of us; we get caught in a circle of lies, we are tempted to lie in order to cover our previous lie. But, this can only cause you more trouble as you will have to tell another lie to cover the lie you used to cover the first lie, and then tell another lie to cover all three lies and so on. Anyway, you get my point. So, in the case of the client call event, if your boss confronts you and tells you that you never made that call, don’t deny it because if they find out you keep lying, then I am pretty sure they will eventually fire you.
　Accept Your Mistake And Apologise
So, as soon as he confronts you, just answer with a simple yet sincere apology saying you were sorry you weren’t honest about the client- make sure that it’s sincere and conveys regret. You must not deny that you lied, instead agree to the mistake you did and apologize for it. Assure the boss that you will not lie from the very next time and will remain true to him or her.
　Explain The Whole Situation
If it was your need to lie, you must give an explanation to the boss regarding the mindset you had. May be the lie was not for some malicious purpose. So, if it was not, give the proper explanation to the boss and it will help you a lot in soothing the whole situation. Now the question may arise that, will your explanation give a hundred percent excuse to you? No, this certainly will not happen, but yes it will add a human element to the situation and will help your boss to see the similar situation from your perspective or eyes.
　Tackle The Issue Right Away
So, if the client issue needs to be dealt with immediately, assure your boss that you are going to tackle the issue right away, or if not right away, give them a precise time frame. Or if you are unsure how to make the follow-up call ask for your boss’s advice on how to best handle it. This way your boss will be reassured that you are going to rectify the situation effectively and without any further delays.
　There Won't Be Next Time
Now that you have dealt with the current lie, your final step should be to reassure your boss that it won’t happen again in the future and if you're feeling anxious about a client again, let them know that you will seek guidance from them straight away.
This way you will show your regret and dedication to your work so that you can reestablish your boss’s trust.
Of course, the best thing is to avoid lying to your boss in the first place. But, we all lie to our bosses sometimes. Nevertheless, we should all try to have an open and honest relationship with both our coworkers and managers so we can always feel comfortable in our jobs.

Last year December, we had a major project we needed to fast track, I new I was to stay, but I lied saying I was going to SA for vacation and my boss bought it. I called him later that evening to apologize cos I lied and was jus going to Ibadan for Christmas. Since then he sees me as that dude that has no mind to lie.

Truth be told, lies are important, knowing when to lie is equally as important as lie itself
