Some bosses would do anything to get their employees to do whatever they want them to, even if it means they would bluntly lie.

Take the boss in the story below as an example. One employee randomly discovers they make less money than their coworker, even though their job is more demanding. This employee raises their concerns to their boss, who then calls in a meeting with the company lawyer and HR. In that meeting, they all claim that it's completely legal to fire employees for discussing their wages if it causes distress to the company.
