This is one of the things that started me thinking there is an actual mental issue with MSB. She claims all the time to "know" people she considers important. Frequently she says these people are a "good friend" or "close friend" of hers. For example, if a client mentions Bank of America, she will say "Oh, I am really good friends with the CFO at Bank of America!"
The weird thing is that she tells us in the office the same thing - and we all know she is lying. Once she talked about the owner of a company who also happened to my friend's boss. She said that this guy "loved her" and that he had asked her several times when they could do a deal together. I asked my friend to ask his boss. His boss said he did not remember meeting her and has no memory of ever having heard of her.
She knew full well that my friend worked for this guy and still went ahead with the lie. I think she may actually believe her own fantasies.

I might have the answer for this one (and a few other points exposed...):
ReplyDelete"Psychopaths have a profound lack of empathy. They use other people callously and remorselessly for their own ends. They seduce victims with a hypnotic charm that masks their true nature as pathological liars, master con artists, and heartless manipulators. Easily bored, they crave constant stimulation, so they seek thrills from real-life "games" they can win -- and take pleasure from their power over other people."
Sounds familiar?

I'm in the same situation with my CEO. She's the CEO of a nonprofit humanitarian organization. She lied to one of our parterns that she went on a vacation to Africa. I called her on the lie and she said "there's nothing wrong with keeping the conversation going." She has said that she supports certain employees when in fact she makes up horrible, damaging stories about them. I've got SO MUCH more, but, I will need to wait until I'm either fired by her or she leaves.
