If my staff lied about his work experience and has slipped up sometimes about it, do I call him out? Then what do I do about it afterwards?

While we dont have all the facts, if you have clear and absolute knowledge that the person lied, you must do something about it. It's a defining moment for you to be a leader. You can speak with an HR exec. There is no room for people who compromise their ethics. If someone will lie about their resume/quals, they may lie about other things including work performed, etc. This puts you, your teams and your firm at risk.

I know it sounds preachy, but no tolerance for people who lie, cross the line, etc. #DoTheRightThing

Did they do a background check on you? If yes, they probably did the same for the person

If you weren’t part of the hiring process how do you know he lied?

And also he’s not performing up to par

He is a staff, what type of experience was required of him?

Experienced hire based on 2 years of experience

Didn’t you do a background check first?

Yes, please do it

So whats his real work experience?

It'd be one thing if he were performing well. Evidently, he is not. Fire his ass!!

Need advice & perspectives: I got a verbal review from my manager saying he couldn’t see me as senior cuz I didn’t follow the design doc format he mandates from all designers. While I have been the only designer who does almost everything from design, UI asset creation, wiring up UI in Unity (I am in mobile gaming).
Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.
Am I crazy for thinking him a bad manager?

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
