That's interesting and sad. Your former boss is definitely too weird. Sure most bosses lie and even for employees, too. In case if your president shake your shoulder profoundly as almost like abuse, he will be pay a big fine by the law.
My brother-in-law is an owner of a big printing company, and he knows his employees very well. He fired him for very simple that he lied that it was a small accident blah blah... He rather his employees to be honest with him, and he does not care about the damage. He told the employee that he has a video surveillance camera so he admitted that he lied to his boss. Actually, his video camera was off at that time. The boss smiled himself later.
Your blog is very good.
