A top executive of the InterContinental Hotels group was forced to quit yesterday after lying about his academic qualifications. Patrick Imbardelli walked out on his £300,000 a year job as head of the group's Asia Pacific chain only days before he was poised to join the main board of the FTSE 100 company.

e este não é caso único, o artigo refere mais 4 casos semelhantes, e dois foram até parar à prisão.


O porta-voz da empresa afirmou:

"We treat this as a very serious matter. The fundamental basis of trust was undermined. He will not receive any compensation,"

É certo que o homem também abusou:

"...falsely claimed to have three qualifications - a bachelor of business degree from the University of Victoria in Australia, and a BSc and a masters of business administration, both from Cornell University in the United States"

3 diplomas 3?

"One expert in the headhunting business described a fake qualification as "like a ticking timebomb waiting to go off - it can take years to go off but when it does everything is destroyed"."

Olhe que não 'expert', olhe que não...
