> That’s why lying or withholding information that affects them causes irreversible damage. They might not leave immediately, but they will resent you. [...] I have a friend who still resents a manager for a lie told three years ago.

Oh yeah. To be fair, it's not only the case for managers. If a colleague lies to me, they lose my trust. But I have never had that... why would a colleague lie to my face or withhold information? That's a thing bad managers do.

When a manager lies to me (or withhold information), it's never one time only; it's the way they work. And when they work like this, they are not in my team. They play against me, so I play against them.

There is an old saying that rings true here: "People don't quit jobs, they quit bosses."
