A woman in my department recently moved to a new company and lied quite significantly about her past experience and her duties in my team to get the new job.
It really bugs me! I think it's the thought of someone getting a job through deception, and cheating someone else more deserving out of the position. It's also partially the frustration of knowing that being an honest/highly competent/hard working person in the corporate world won't get me as far as being someone who's willing to bluff or lie their way into a better position.
So, do you know of someone who got their comeuppance after lying their way into a job? Or is it a reality of the working world that those who take the moral high ground will never go as far as those who bluff their way to the top?

Do people who lie to get a job usually get their comeuppance?
