Knowing the difference between "The truth" and "The whole truth"

So, whilst you have ascertained that you ain’t never, ever gonna lie, and you don’t cover up for colleagues no matter what the circumstance may be, you don’t have to be a goody-goody that tells tales. Knowing that a colleague has cocked up does not give you the verdical to rat on them before the boss.

Let's say a colleague did something "not good" that you know is bad, okay, and should be exposed "maybe," but if you saw it, heard it, don't get involved; it's none of your business. Don't tell anyone.
Sometimes the truth is needed in your career, but not always the whole truth. This could simply mean understanding the difference between the truth and the** whole truth**. And there's something else I'd like to mention.
You should never report a colleague or a friend at work unless it is absolutely necessary and may harm the company's reputation or growth, which will have an impact on you. Sometimes it might be beneficial to sit back and watch how things develop.

And when you do get asked, you don’t lie, of course. But you should know the difference between the truth and the whole truth.

It's one thing to not lie, but it's quite another to throw up and regurgitate everything you do know.

If they make a mistake unintentionally or have to cover it up, don't run off to tell the boss, and don't defend them either. Never cover up for anybody, no matter what. Simply maintain a neutral attitude.
If, on the other hand, that colleague was caught, or their mess was exposed, and you were asked "what happened," you owe your boss an explanation anyway because it is your colleague, most likely from the same department.
This is where the truth and the whole truth come into play; you'll tell your boss the truth, but not everything; just say "yes," not the whole truth.
The whole truth will almost certainly get your colleague in trouble, and you will feel guilty.
Let's face it, the real world exists, and not everyone is nice, so you must be careful how you interact with others and what you do because "what goes around comes around," as the saying goes.

So, it is just better to sit back and see how things unfold. When your colleague knows you know, and you aren’t saying anything, there might be a favor being born that might be recalled later.

The beauty of being a key player is that you are up and still yourself at the end of the day.

I understand that my actions were wrong and I take full responsibility for them. I assure you that this will not happen again in the future. I will make sure to properly research and cite any sources that I use in my future posts on ecency.

I hope that you will consider this sincere apology and allow me to continue using ecency. Thank you for your understanding.

You come to hive to try and make money with stolen articles and you decide to tell people to fuck off??

Thats a very bad start for you.
Maybe the one getting on hive should explain this too you unless they do plag aswell :)

You have told one of the mellowest people in existence to fuck off, @botsrequired, @wesphilbin strives to bring positive content to the blockchain and help anyone who needs help despite his disabilities and @thekittygirl does her absolute best to show you where you need help; @stayten, @yaziris, and everyone tries their best to help along with some awesome support like @cwow2, but perhaps you should ask for help to learn the blockchain before condemning anyone because of that lack of respect for anyone trying to help.
All you are doing is trashing your reputation here, so you know, go ahead with that bullshit attitude, make another account, we'll find it and destroy it. If it is part of a nice cozy little ring, it will be made manifest, and all of it will be destroyed. Have at it.
We are sincerely hoping that you do a 180 and go in to Hivewatchers and get this all straightened out, and build your account the correct way before it is too late.
If you are not sincere and wish to attempt to destroy the Hive community, then you can fuck off and we will respond in kind to the attitude you put out.

Thanks for adding to this!

He can't answer though, since his delegation got removed, so now he have no hp or rc haha

@jamerussell,

Thank you brother 🙏
