Lying definitely works really well at work, however. I recently had to work with another team that committed to do a portion of the work on a feature, they blew it off for 5 weeks, then at the big meeting about it lied and claimed they never agreed to do any of it. Every person on the team lies and swears that never agreed, even though there are Hipchat logs of them working on it for a couple days with us before they punted it without telling us and went radio silent. Since they chose lying, however, it's impossible to ding them on peer feedback since they'll just claim miscommunication on the part of the reporter. So they insulate themselves from any bad feedback by lying their asses off...
