How far would someone go to get a raise? In Episode 18 of The Bad Hire, Ken, Nathan, and Emma react to one of the wildest stories yet—about a guy who edited his $60K offer letter… and turned it into $1 million.

Plus: a top-secret “government project” excuse, gambling theft, and a hiring manager who refuses to work with anyone wearing the color orange (seriously).

You’ll hear:

– Why people lie their way into roles they can’t handle

– What to do when an employee confesses to a crime

– The psychological chaos of firing a “friend”

– What a True Colors personality test has to do with oranges

– And the worst fake excuse for skipping work—maybe ever

Key Takeaways:

• People don’t always lie for the job—they lie to keep it.

• HR isn’t just about rules—it’s about reading people.

• Don’t ignore red flags just because they’re “nice.”

• If your hiring manager won’t work with someone over a color… fix that.
