[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 182796, member: 1991"] I'd be sussing out the work environment. If he is on house arrest with the only exceptions being work and school, then why did the girl at his workplace lie to cover for him? Does she know the full story? Does she realise just how he was putting her in a very bad situation?Does she realise he would do this in a heartbeat even though he really doesn't care what kind of trouble it could get her into? I would be talking to the boss (assuming he is onside) and letting him know that GFGI is manipulating work colleagues to lie for him. They need to know the full story, or if he's bullying them into lying for him they need to know they can be safe and can tell the truth without feeling guilty. I'm thinking - if he can make YOU feel guilty even though you did exactly the right thing, how confused can he make his work colleagues? I had a work colleague who used to rely on us to lie for him to cover his rear end. The trouble was, he was so flagrantly flouting the rules that those who lied for him (or failed to go straight to the boss and tell him) copped it from the boss for enabling someone who really was NOT worthy of any team protection. In my case, the bloke wanted me to lie to his wife for him. I refused and said if she asked me a question I would have to tell the truth. So from that point on, he made sure I would be either not anywhere near his wife (who worked in the same place) and also convinced his wife that I did not tell the truth and couldn't be trusted. Protecting a work colleague who is only interested in his own pleasure - never a good idea. You end up getting into some serious trouble. I think a certain female at Footlocker needs to learn this one, FAST. Marg [/QUOTE]
