One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
Well in fact you will probably spend more time with your boss than with your loved one, so the work relation is super important. And I don't want to be with people with whom you have to lie. So I don't agree with you, I think the work relationship should also be based on mutual respect and trust.
Except Iβm not dating my boss and my relationship with them isnβt going to be affected by whatever number I say to the HR person in the interview. You can live your life however you want, but your company isnβt your friend and your boss isnβt your partner. You donβt owe them anything.

Look it's simple,
I'm a good professional, at least I strive to be one
so I work with other good professionals,
not people who try the dirtiest simplest trick on you.
Also I'm super bad at lying,
it makes me stressed and visibly incomfortable,
so the strategy wouldn't work for me.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
