When I worked at my last job, I would lie a lot and say I was sick and wanted to go home. I was actually just really anxious and I felt like I couldn't function.

I also lied one time and said that I had an appointment and couldn't work on a day I was scheduled when I really was just to anxious to work at the grocery store on a Sunday.

At my current job, my boss is pretty understanding, and I have explained what my issues are and he will let me leave early if I am struggling. Which I rarely do since the job is so much less stressful then the last one. So I don't feel the need to lie to them at this job.
