What happens when a CFO lies about a Stanford MBA for years… and nobody notices until an anonymous tip exposes everything?
In Episode 37 of The Bad Hire, Ken, Morgan, and Emma dive into a series of unbelievable stories involving fake degrees, résumé fraud, hiring shortcuts, and the career-ending consequences that follow.
From a receptionist who quit after three hours on the job to executives who built entire careers on credentials they never earned, this episode explores how one small lie can snowball into a massive problem years later.
You’ll hear:
– The front desk hire who lasted only three hours – A CFO whose fake Stanford MBA caused a public company crisis – A Walmart executive derailed by missing college credits – A Notre Dame football coach who lost the job after five days – Why résumé lies almost always catch up to you – How hiring shortcuts create expensive mistakes
These stories aren’t just entertaining—they’re reminders that integrity matters long after the interview is over.
