I recently learned that my coworker falsified their resume, including the one submitted to our company. They were brought to court by a previous employer for this and fraud charges were brought against them.

Thank you.

Report and tell them everything you know.

It’s unfair to the companies, unfair to candidates who actually worked for their skills, and unfair to colleagues who have to shoulder the burden.

I know lots of people that did the People n Tech scam in the DC area. They did it to gain higher salaries quickly. It was a shortcut that is now backfiring on many of them. They are all “regretful” now that they are getting caught or unable to grow because of fear of getting caught. They made their bed, they can now sleep in it.

If the company background check didn’t catch it let it go, don’t tell anyone else what you know either so you’re not questioned about bringing this up. I would only bring it up if it were something dishonorable and it would carry into the work.

Why get involved in drama? Sometimes people need a second chance, if you give someone a black mark for the rest of their life, you’re making it difficult for them to better themselves

I played a key role in hiring this individual into my previous position when I moved to a different position and onboarded/trained them. I also wrote a reference when they recently asked to transition to a different role at the company, which they got. As a lead in my area, I believe it is my duty to report this to HR. But part of me is hesitant bc I've grown to know them both professionally and personally. They also have a family, including children so it's been hard separating emotional from rational which I'm typically always able to do. I also fear this will backfire on HR, but this wouldn't have shown up in the background check since the lawsuit occurred after they were hired. HR is also one of the departments within my work unit, which my manager oversees, so also concerned about the outcome.

I should also add that this individual falsified their resume to the point of significant inflation. Over the past few months, I began to notice huge gaps between their performance and skills, prior experience, and the person we first hired.

I'm battling between doing the ethical thing (reporting) vs staying silent to protect the people who will be impacted, and bc I know the consequences it will have on this individual's employment, their future, and family as well. I have read the court docs and they appear regretful of their actions. I know the latter is not something I should be concerned about but it is an honest part of this dilemma I am facing. Any advice on what I should do?

It seems like things will take their natural course. Are you worried about the ethics of it? Your reputation for not knowing? Or this person’s well-being?

Don’t be a snitch, it always comes around.

Don’t tell on them esp if they have a family. The economy is really tough right now to find another job easier. If their performance isn’t up to par then they will probably be put on PIP eventually. If you really care about this person, maybe talk to them about the court case and say how eventually your HR will probably find out about it and maybe that person should prepare looking for other jobs. I know the morality in this is hard but we have to look out for each other, just give them a chance to get their act right.

Never tell anyone you know about it, they will easily drag you into it which makes me think you should report it
