Don't Lie to Your Boss or Coworkers. Ever

So many times I see people not telling the boss the truth about why something won't work that he or she wants, but you and others, know that it won't. They would rather take the tasking and move out knowing quite well it won't work, but not considering the consequences of having to return to the boss with a bad product or failed mission. In my opinion it's certainly wiser to step up and explain to them why it won't work and hopefully have some supporting facts that will assist in convining the boss. What do you think?
Or, if the boss won't listen to any reason, what then?
Thanks

i love lying on personal matters, and actually i always lie to my boss and my coworker, because I think in the society of today, no people will trully express their opinions on provite stuff in the workplace.
i would definetly avoid lying, and actually i ahve trie many times to express my sincere thoughts to my boss and coworkers, but to my disappointment, the truth would do nothing but make the situation and relationship much worse. That'w why i choose to lie and fell in love with it at the begining....
Join the group of liers, buddy, you will have an easy and joyous life.. I assure you!
