My co-worker is trying to lie her way into top MBA programs. She is writing letters to the admissions committees telling them she "leads" various important projects, when in reality she does close to nothing. Is there anyway to let the MBA programs know?

What's your notion of "top MBA programs".

If they don't check, it's their loss.

Human reasources could be notified. Or whoever is in charge of the MBA programs

Why does it bother you? If she is lying, and they check, which if they are really top MBA programs they should, then she will be found out. If they don't check and she gets in, then why does it matter to you? Is it jealously? A need to do what you view as right? To answer your question, you could write a letter or call whoever looks at those applications and inform them of this.

I knew someone who did something morally along those lines. She was a temporary data entry clerk and told a company that she was a manager of one of largest companies in my area. She got the job!!! They actually put her picture in the papaer announcing her new position and listing all the things she lied about doing at the other company. It was a big joke amongst all the employees where she temped. They said "maybe we should lie and we could make the big bucks"! I don't know if someone told on her or not but she didn't last very long. I still think karma comes back to bite people like that on the ass; at least eventually. The funniest thing about it was that she touted how religious she was daily! Her and her parents use to be missionaries!

They'll figure it out in her first semester if they don't figure it out sooner. She'll just make a fool of herself. I say, let her.

Well you are not Jiminy Cricket, you are not her consceince nor are you the ethics police. I am on your side but there is nothign you can do. Let her dig her own hole; she can only go on BS'ing for so long. It's really none of your business. +4

The top programs will require letters of reference. If these letters don't support her story, it could be the end of it. If she gets in, that doesn't mean she'll finish and if she finishes that doesn't mean the market won't eliminate her. If she's asking for your opinion, I'd tell her and then leave it alone. If she's not asking, I'd do nothing. If she asks you to be one of her references, well, there ya go!

You could write them a letter but honestly, I'd just let her stumble and fall on her own without any intervention from you. If the MBA program people have any sense, they will soon see through her ruse.

A lot of people fudge their credentials in the business world. It happens all the time. A good school will catch on quickly to her "little game." If the school does not catch on, it is their loss. Any way it turns out, it is not your business nor anyone else's, for that matter. Obviously, you do not like her, I gather. If you don't, then you can be the first one to laugh at her when she "falls on her face" If she is not "shooting straight" with organizations, rest assured, she will fall too.!

Why stick your nose into her business. It is really none of your business. You just want approval to hurt her and feel just about it. Well, you would be wrong to not stay completely out of it. Your questions seems a little jealous.

I think you should stop looking over and into her cubical, & just do some planning for yourself. ;)
