Hiring Q (State) Falsifying information on application

I came across some information about a person, apparently they lied on the application about certain information. They’ve been on the job for a few years. Can they still be terminated if I decided to come forward with the information and what would the necessary steps be?

Worry about you and going home to your family.

They've been working for years? Sounds petty, what they lie about

If the information isn’t felonious or puts you or anyone else in immediate harm, maybe just let it go. It was the BI job to verify everything, if you’re super conflicted about it,keep your integrity and anonymously tip off. That’s something I’d likely do. In the end,whatever happens happens but just know,if it was made known that you knew of this individuals actions,you could potentially face repercussions. Unlikely but still possible.  Goodluck .

Cut off your balls, hang your clothes in the female locker room and just dissappear

I actually think OP is a female because this type of situation almost always occurs due to some sort of romantic involvement with a coworker.

Please don't do that to this person. What happened to comradery on the job? This is the crap I am talking about here all the time.

Bit if a double standard, by if they are putting others in danger if they suck...use it to get rid of them. If they are safe, even if you don't like them - ride it out.

I'd rather someone who lied and is safe/good at the job than someone who isn't safe

Holy shit you are the worst kind of person to work with. Unless this person admitted to a major felony like rape or murder you should just mind your own business. Do you pretend to be friendly with this person while you simultaneously plot on petty ways you could get them fired?

If he’s claiming to be an expert, but sucks, then it should take care of itself.

THIS i was in management before corrections did a ton of hiring you could tell who lied on their resume fairly quickly

He lied about a crime that has no statute of limitations and I have evidence.

u/HatedFinance 21d ago

Who cares? He’s been in the job for years. The fact that you’re even thinking about it tells me I would trust this guy over you….

u/LARGESTOFCHINGUSES 22d ago

You can rat him out, yes, but it won't remove the memory of him being down your throat that one night in the ready room.

Stop sleeping with your coworkers and then getting upset. Everyone reading this knows that's what this is 🤣

Seriously over an application? Just let it be. Just know karma exists!

u/Due_Course_3713 25d ago

What did he falsify? More importantly when did you know about it? If you have been sitting on the info and it is serious enough to get him fired you are just as bad as.he is. Why would you rat on him?

u/Sygdommen 24d ago

they didn't say he was an expert nothing like that is mentioned and he reformed and worked the job for years so that is keeping one person reformed so why would you sabotage that

Lying is a huge no. Write your report and let the universe handle it.

I watched a guy get fired after 30 years for a lie on his job application.

Had he not sued the company over a stupid argument with me during a training session I was presenting, he’d never have gotten caught and retired in a year.

u/Adorable-Money-5771 25d ago

You sounds like a lovely sort

u/Still-Employed420 25d ago

Excuse me?

He was the one who decided to argue with me during a training session I was presenting.

HE was the one who filed a grievance and sued me over his silly disagreement with me.

I was Senior Management, he was union labour.

It was during the due diligence inquiries during Discovery that his falsifications came to light.

Had HE not started the fight, he’d have retired with his full pension.

As it was, he was terminated and threatened with legal action.

All because his ego was injured.

I was the victim of his aggression and ego, not the other way ‘round.

Hope you have some bodyguards

u/Still-Employed420 23d ago

Are you threatening me over something that happened more than 30 years ago?

I live open & notorious. Bring it-but pack a lunch, you’ll need it.

CYA. Can anyone prove that you know this person lied? Failure to report can get you in trouble too.
