To think if you lie on your CV, you are a CF to claim BHD?

I’ll keep it short: someone has claimed BHD (lack of training, high expectations etc) because they were not provided with training they felt they needed. All BHD claims relate to lack of support.

The training is not available as the hire was made based off the CV (which the claimee has now admitted was a fabrication). It is not a role that should require training bar on the job learning. The advert was explicit that experience in this area was non-negotiable.

Think head receptionist claiming they had experience of being a receptionist, then it turns out they don’t even know how to use outlook calendars and send meeting invites.

AIBU to think claiming BHD in these circumstances is massive CF territory?!

In my organisation, if someone is basically forced to take a new job to avoid redundancy there is a trial period of a month. If after the trial period they’re not right for the position, they can return to their previous role and keep doing that until they’re made redundant or be made redundant and keep their redundancy payment.

thankfully i can do all the skills listed on my cv for this reason eg if i put receptionist then i can do that role, but i dont oversell my abilities because if they did want me to prove the skills then at least i can do them etc or the basics

@LeonardosYoungerModel why dont they just train themselves eg youtube google etc then books

But the staff member admits they lied on their CV about their skills. Surely that's gross misconduct and would result in dismissal.

They can't do the things they said they could. How is that BHD? Fucking weirdo.
