theRmoTron from Hire to liar

David H.P. Shulman Associate Professor of Anthropology and Sociology

During winter 2007, David Shulman, associate professor of anthropology and sociology at Lafayette College, published From Hire to Liar: The Role of Deception in the Workplace with the Cornell University Press. He argues in From Hire to Liar that deception is a pervasive element of daily working life. He analyzes the motives, tactics, rationalizations, and ethical ramifications of acting deceptively in the workplace. The book contains detailed accounts of workplace lies and suggests new ways to think about the important effects of everyday workplace deceptions. The book has received extensive coverage in the media, which has been exciting and rewarding for Shulman.
