I work for a big Multi National, publicly traded, company in New York.
Recently, an employee received a promotion and was assigned to greater responsibilities.
The problem is that this person had faked her resume and filled multiple gaps in her experience and also used fake employers. My company never checked her out in the first place and hired her as she was known to a Manager in the company.
Now they promoted her over some other team members who actually do all the work and really deserved a promotion but are not that well connected.
Another employee (my friend) complained to their Manager and also to the Ethics Department about this person falsifying her resume and her experience.
Nothing was done. She is still employed and the company has apparently decided to ignore this. Due to this my friend has decided to leave the company.
Is this legal, can the company apply ethics selectively??
Is this legal, is the company bound to follow their own ethics??
Is there any legal standing that the other employees have who were not promoted or could have been promoted instead??
Thank you for your help!!!
