Our company sacked a guy about two weeks ago for lying on his CV, apparently told them he had a Math degree from a Budapest University but turns out he had one in History.
OK , his job was as a mathematician and I worked with him to convert algorithms into MT Java code, but the degree he lied about was 23 years ago and he seemed to know his job, although I have no idea if the algorithms work as I don't get paid anything like him to know.
Now we have a professor from UK University who has come over on a €1000 Euro work from home (most days) contract to double check everything he has done over the last 5 months so they have renewed my contract as well (nothing like the rate he is on).
So six more months of doing virtually nothing except putting leavers bang to rights on their misfortune.
