The Insulted & The Injured - Chapter 5: Liar, Liar Pants on Fire PDF Print E-mail
Written by The Anonymous Assistant   

Asshole Midget likes to lie. It's pathetic because he is a smart guy with some good instincts, but his judgment is questionable. If he weren't such a liar he would have a much better reputation. As his assistant,  it can get dicey.  Usually you know what he has lied about so you can cover up or him.  And sit and stew when you know you can't say anything to anyone. But hey, that's the job - always protect your boss.  Then he starts to lie to the clients and they come to you for the truth. Then he gets caught in lies and higher-ups come to you for the truth.

What do you do?

You take it on a case by case basis. As for the clients, well, you aren't planning on being an assistant forever, you want them to trust you and know that they can always come to you for real information. Make sure you have the right information first, and don't sell out your boss too much. Even better, act like you don't even know that Client was lied to in the first place. For the higher-ups, careful. Generally, I didn't sell him out.

But sometimes he lied and didn't include me in his lie. So I gave out information that was the truth, not realizing that he has just been caught in his lie. Now, I didn't give out anything that the clients or higher-up didn't have a right to know. Remember that I had been an assistant for a long, long, long time.  I know what can he said and what cannot.

I dedicate this book to everyone who has ever been an assistant in the world of entertainment, especially those who have been emotionally and/or physically abused by their boss. The tone of this is semi-humorous, but I know, and many others know, the deep psychological wounds that can be incured during this time. You are not alone.
