Well, that is a tough question. Is honesty always the best policy in this case?

I would advise to be honest with your boss if he/she asks for an explanation concerning your departure. As you said, lying right now would make things go smoothly. But you never know what might come in the future.

How others deal with your honesty is out of your control anyway. Saying the truth is the right thing to do. If they can't handle it, fuck them, there are enough quality jobs and quality people out there for you.

Hey, Damien! You’ve got some good points, I appreciate them! Honesty I feel is a very important policy, and I appreciate the point of not being in control of the reaction of others. Cheers mate.
