<p>What’s uncomfortable about it? You never once claimed that you attended UM-AA. If the company was deceived, well, frankly, that’s their own fault. They should have been better prepared. </p>
<p>And of course all of that presumes that the HR department even performs any routine background check at all. Plenty of companies do not. Like I said, everybody here seems to persist in the belief that the hiring process is a soberly conducted state of affairs where applicants are rigorously cross-checked and cross-validated and anomalies are inevitably ferreted out. That’s a far cry from the way that hiring is actually done at even well-established firms. Like I said, Yahoo’s internal validation system couldn’t even figure out that their own CEO didn’t even have the computer science degree that he claimed. It took an outside hedge fund with an activist agenda - their goal was to muscle Yahoo into replacing certain Board members with the hedge fund’s preferred candidates - to show Yahoo that the CEO’s biography was false. What do you think that says about the scrutiny that Yahoo paid to the rest of its employees? </p>
<p>And, again, let’s keep in mind that the CEO of Yahoo actually outright lied about having a computer science degree. The OP, on the other hand, isn’t lying for he does indeed have an MBA from UM.</p>
