What popular saying is actually bullshit?
Sample 1: I tell my 7yr old son "if you tell me the truth the punishment isn't as bad" when he follows through he still gets punished, but I explain what would have happened if he lied. Tell the truth? 10 min time out in the corner. Lie? Grounded for the entire night.
Sample 2: My Fire Department’s policy was: "Tell us the truth and we'll do everything in our power to save your job. Lie to us and we'll do the exact opposite."
Sample 3: I tell new hires to tell the truth so we can learn from it. I won't lie, there certain lines that no matter of up frontness can protect you from (and at that point I'll probably know anyway!). But if we can't at least learn from your fuckup then we're all worse off for it. My philosophy is modeled off of the FAA and NASA program private pilots to self report their fuckups.
Sample 4a: People would tell me that potential employers decide if a person is the right fit for the job within the first five seconds of the interview. For years I thought it was BS until I was on the other side of the table. A candidate who walks into the room wearing a suit and carries themselves in a confident demeanor is going to make me much more comfortable than someone with a perpetual slouch wearing a polo and jeans, even if the latter is 10x more qualified. I wish we as humans had more control over that, but it’s just instinctual.
Sample 4b: Edit: For the people calling me shallow and classist, I think I need to be more clear. Someone who doesn't look or act as nice may be more qualified, but if anything in their responses gives any kind of indication that they're going to have a negative impact on the work environment, that's a deal breaker. Someone could be as smart as a whip but could be lazy or struggle to listen to authority. On the flip side though, someone could be a perfect fit but doesn't sell themselves well. We don’t know this person so we have to make assumptions based on their responses to our questions and what skills they claim to possess. Skills are important yes but presentation is what gets your foot in the door. The same goes for the better dressed person. They could say something completely off the wall that can turn the tide.

Update On A Past Blog
I randomly thought about the "Weird Al" Yankovic - Fat song yesterday. I remember attending his concert at the Santa Clara County Fair in summer 1996. I forgot about the concert for which I add to the Top Ten Forgotten Moments blog written on Feb 15, 2020. I recognize the moment for the blog 1996 written on Dec 5, 2013.
