I'm usually just curious how people react while being confronted with e.g. possible lying. That's why I just would ask in a neutral way and see how it afterwards goes.
I'm on your side and I think you are right. Just being curious and I think it's always good to clear things up. Even if you already decided to leave. Because if he's lying he - as you already stated - could have just said that he's not feeling comfortable with a position swap.
Don't need to try anything again, just wanted to help.![]()
