For everyone else, you'd better not LIE on your résumé, or you're fired!

Updated at 2:25 p.m. EDT: Scott Thompson may still be keeping his job at Yahoo after apologizing for the brouhaha over errors in his academic credentials, but at least one Yahoo exec is getting defenstrated. The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times reported Tuesday that Patti S. Hart, the director who headed the search committee that led to Thompson landing the CEO job, will not stand for reelection. Both publications cited unnamed people familiar with the situation.

1. It's the rich wot gets the gravy

There are clearly two sets of rules in this country - one for the1% and one for the rest of us, a/k/a the peons.

2. Isn't this the guy who claimed a degree in computer science he didn't have?

If so, that is NOT an inadvertent error. I don't care who put it there. Everyone is responsible for their own resume and degrees don't magically appear on resumes.

Don't we all just hate those evil hedge fund managers? Look!!! Over there! while the CEO lays off thousands of workers with his fake credentials.
