What happens when a CFO lies about a Stanford MBA for years… and nobody notices until an anonymous tip exposes everything?

In Episode 37 of The Bad Hire, Ken, Morgan, and Emma dive into a series of unbelievable stories involving fake degrees, résumé fraud, hiring shortcuts, and the career-ending consequences that follow.

From a receptionist who quit after three hours on the job to executives who built entire careers on credentials they never earned, this episode explores how one small lie can snowball into a massive problem years later.

You’ll hear:

– The front desk hire who lasted only three hours
– A CFO whose fake Stanford MBA caused a public company crisis
– A Walmart executive derailed by missing college credits
– A Notre Dame football coach who lost the job after five days
– Why résumé lies almost always catch up to you
– How hiring shortcuts create expensive mistakes

These stories aren’t just entertaining—they’re reminders that integrity matters long after the interview is over.
