Why lie on an interview? That’s an odd question. You should treat interviews as you trying to see if you fit in the team. Don’t force yourself into a team. That’s why some people end up hating their lives

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that.

He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.
