<p>We had a guy fired from our company when it was discovered that he didn’t have the PhD he claimed to have. He wasn’t fired for not having a PhD (although most research managers at his level usually had a PhD, it was not a strict requirement of the job). He was fired for lying about it on his resume.</p>
<p>The way he was found out is that he made the mistake of running off with another woman, and so his angry abandoned wife squealed on him to the company. The last time we saw him was when he later appeared on the Newlywed Game with his new sweetie. You just can’t make up stuff like this.</p>
<p>Moral of the story: if your spouse knows that you are living a lie at work, you better make sure to keep him/her happy.</p>
