if I suspect something was spilled, I always let them know that we have accidental damage coverage and things like spills are covered and that makes the truth come out a bit smoother.
And then you tell them you lied.
hahahahaha, in my case, I've been lucky that the places I've worked we actually have always bought the accidental damage coverage!
I also practically start the conversation with this info so I don't get lied to initially.
But it’s ok because they did too. So no social awkwardness, but you need to let hr know they lied about damaging company property and they should start packing their desk.
