    A girl at work told me lies a few weeks ago on two different issues. So I told her lies this week and got caught. She now doesn't talk to me and was bulling. Two can play that game? Proud of myself and not at the same time. I hate this awkward silence at work all the same.

    Suggestions? Carry on as if nothing.happened or what?

    Stop telling lies, stop being spiteful and grow up.

    Grow up and try to have a more professional attitude in the workplace?

    Unpleasantness is not nice for you, the other person or anyone else in the working environment, and telling lies to someone to 'get back' at them is something a child would do. There is absolutely nothing for you to be proud about.

    Frankly I'm amazed that you're old enough to work as I'd made the assumption from your post that you must be about eleven or twelve.

    Stop playing these immature games in the workplace and get on with your job.

    Work is stressful enough without playing games

    If someone is messing you around in work just confront them and that's the end of it.

    Your tactics were last seen in the primary school playground

    You have a job, do it as best you can and stop worrying over work colleagues. Yes colleagues, some people stress and worry if they are not friends with everyone in work

    I'm glad to see that you've taken the sensible option. But can I ask - Why did you do that?

    Once you worked out why, then you can take steps to avoid being in that situation again.

    Op you should have dealt with her actions directly ie calmly said "Im confused because you told me x, y and z but..." and let her know the lies weren't on. Or else decided it wasn't worth the bother.

    She doesn't know that's why you lied so now you look as bad as her.

    This behaviour can tarnish you professional image - don't let it happen again.

    Good luck.

    My reply to your other thread is more apt here than there: Dont turn into people you dislike.

    As Confucius said "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves."
    It just shows that your lies didnt go they way you wanted to and got caught out! At times the pursuer falls into his own newly dug grave ..

    You are better of rising above it in the future and remember you are not in primary school
