May 29, 2022 at 5:56 comment added Stephan Branczyk This answer is good. And yes, telling a little white lie instead of telling them the truth that the OP doesn't trust them is sound advice. And I agree with Daniel's point, if you have family and friends you can consult with, it doesn't even have to be a lie, they'll probably agree with your reasoning also.
Jun 2, 2020 at 19:54 comment added DKNguyen @DanielR.Collins Well, for one thing most of your family, and especially your friends, don't have a commanding say in your career decisions. The only real people that do are your spouse, and maybe your parents.
Jun 2, 2020 at 15:01 comment added Daniel R. Collins It's actually kind of hard for me to imagine that many people have absolutely no family or friends with whom they would discuss or coordinate a decision. It's s real head-scratcher why that's being taken as an unacceptable false negotiation point.

Jun 1, 2020 at 19:58 comment added Mad Physicist I am not sure why you were downvoted so much. Details aside, the fundamental argument you are making is mostly sound. But yes, don't lie. Exaggerate if you must.
