Former Coworker Lying About Work On LinkedIn
So my company opened up a new location and hired a Manager. This person came across as charming, likeable and competent but he was in fact an absolute nightmare and a terrible Manager. He lied consistently, the money was always out and so many other things that I can't list for legal reasons.
One day he stormed out after screaming abuse at the person who hired him so the company decided that he had resigned and told him not to return. Most of the remaining staff were relieved.
Turns out that he's now lying on his LinkedIn profile. He's increased his hire date by several weeks, took credit for work not done in a lengthy post and is claiming to still work at the company but is "open to other opportunities".
I wouldn't wish that psychopath on my worst enemy but we heard on the grapevine that another company in our industry might be hiring him based on the lies he's spinning about his experience with us.
The audacity is astonishing considering how much trouble he caused. If our company reports this to LinkedIn will they do anything about it?
