Should The Yahoo CEO Be Fired For Lying?

[tropicsgoddess]

There has been a scandal where the CEO of Yahoo has padded his resume with embellished college degrees in Computer Science on his Biography online with Yahoo. Yahoo already has gone through 3 CEO's in a short period of time. Personally, I say fire him. No matter if you're the CEO to the clerk or even janitor, you should be fired if you lie on your resume. No if's and's or buts.

I also agree with fire him, I know its acceptable to do a little embellishment on a resume but outright lying with past items that can be verified: there's the door, be glad we don't say it was fraud (if plausible)

They should have fired him the moment they found out he lied on his resume. For every job I've ever applied, they had a disclaimer that said if I knowingly forged information or skewed the truth that I could be fired or disciplined. If an employer hires you for your credentials, you bet your ass you better actually have those credentials.
