10 Lies Your Boss Tells You

If you've ever worked for a big corporation, you've heard some of these. Money Smart Life offers the 10 lies big companies tell their employees. It's a perfect read for a Friday morning when you're ready for the weekend. See how many of these you've been sold in the past.

My favorites...

• "We're working on it." There's work and there's work. Usually this means they think about your problem when they're having their mid-morning snack, not that they're devoting any actual time to solving the problem at hand.
• "It's company policy." Denied a raise or a job change? It's policy. It's amazing how many of these policies don't make it into the employee handbook that HR makes you sign.
  
• "We want you to have a life outside work." Oh, that's a doozy. That's why the company lets you have that BlackBerry. So you could take your work with you everywhere you go.
• "The customer is always right." As long as you're able to take care of his needs and the boss doesn't have to.
• "Hope you enjoy your vacation." As long as you get all the work done that you would normally have done during your time away.
