lying co-worker getting on my nerves?

I am the "new guy" and one of the longer employed persons tells tales of his "other jobs" a security guy and bouncer. Well his failing is claims to be working in a loss prevention job that I myself held for 9 years, he didn't know that when he boosted of this job. I have been out of that job for about 2 yrs now and with the benifit of the doubt I considered it poss. (not) that he cold be telling some form of the truth. Last night he used this "job" to leave work early. I got feed up and went to my old job, the one he claims he does now, and talked with a few of the guys. (same lp guys from when I was there) none of them know this guy and for sure he dosen't nor ever worked as security for them. I'm feed up with his lies and now am going to set the record straight with him and everyone else we work with. Is this something I should do or should I let him abuse this job, leaving early, coming in late etc. and using his pretend job as a reason for it???

    I think you should confront him yourself. Let him know that you know he is a load of crap and you won't listen to anything else he has to say because he is a bold-faced liar.

    There was an easy way to confront him earlier, when he first started. "Oh, really? Wow. I don't remember bumping into you." Then make up a non-existent shift or coworker name. "So you must have been with Salmeyer and Fitch on that Christmas shift at the Norvac Store. Aw, good old Salmeyer. Always talking bull. How'd you get along with him?"

    Of course he probably would have lied his butt off and said yes to all of it. Then you could have told YOUR COWORKERS that there seems to be an issue with truthfulness on his part, not necessarily telling what you did to find out, even if it made you look shady from now on, and you would have known the character of person you're working with and been careful around him from then on. You wouldn't be annoyed and wanting to tell your coworkers.

    It's frustrating that he's lying, but keep in mind. He may be telling the truth to his bosses. He doesn't have to tell you guys where he's really going. He SHOULD, but he doesn't have to.

    in the beginning if he does that, then its through fact he's jealous, and his afraid to lose his place interior the employer, purely play clever do no longer answer his insults, take word each and every time he insult you and constantly have witnesses which could approve what he did on the top purely make a report to the boss, and so he cant lye approximately you purely double verify your artwork and enable persons see how stable you're and how undesirable he's, yet another determination, attempt to communicate whit him, remember have your persons close yet your enemies closer,

    Well, if I were you, I wouldnt say anything - unless he has been unpleasant to you. If he has, for no good reason, then drop him in it.
