Scenario:
During high school, Jan took liberties with the truth in posting to social media concerning her accomplishments, grades, and accolades from her instructors. As a result, she garnered a lot of positive attention on social media and started to have several hundred followers on her blog.
Right out of high school, her first job in accounting was as a bookkeeper for a small hometown retailer. When she finished her college education, majoring in accounting and financed by a government student loan, she got a job upon graduation with a larger retailer in a nearby small city while she studied to take the Certified Public Accountant Exam. During her time there, again she boasted of accomplishments and accolades she never attained. But she wanted to boost her image amongst her peers. As a consequence, she influenced her immediate department, where everyone started to compete in terms of what they had accomplished at school and in previous jobs. Some of the employees in the accounting department did not espouse such competition and resented Jan’s “inflated stories,” as they referred to them. Others were not so kind and actually made some accusations that she was clearly lying. The department became increasingly divisive, to the point that the human resources department was contacted by one of the employees. When asked about the situation, Jan’s boss would only state that certainly the atmosphere was “not conducive to productivity.” The HR department started an investigation looking at Jan’s application, her college scores, finances, interview notes, etc.
