Yeah. It's a test. I have done that too before. Say something obviously wrong and see if you get called on it.

- zeth___ 8y agoI wouldn't call you out. I'd quietly work to get you fired for incompetence.
- majos 8y agoWhat is the upside of this test? If they say nothing it may be that they don't know you're wrong or silently concluded you're wrong. If they do say something you say...what? "Just testing you"?
- maxxxxx 8y agoYou say that it was a joke. It was a similar situation where a new VP was commenting on code he didn't know anything about but just repeated falsehoods with total conviction. So I put some stuff into a presentation that was clearly funny to people who knew how things worked but the VP took it at face value.
- majormajor 8y agoMost people won't call you out, especially in public. I'd wager most people will just write you off as full of crap. Your test is setting yourself up to fail their test. :)
- maxxxxx 8y agoA little sense of humor goes far in such a situation.
