ST Poll: On a scale from 1-10, how unethical is this?

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Nov 8 '17, 06:09

1 - meh
10 - OMG I feel completely obligated to do something about it, like contact his current employer or something

A former co-worker (2010-2012) has inflated his job responsibilities and job title/position while employed with us on his LinkedIn profile.

Responses:

Look at all the people who claimed university degrees to places they maybe went a year or two. -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 8, 10:03
about as unethical as stalking a former co-workers LinkedIn profile -- nm - groiny Nov 8, 06:59 1
- heh -- nm - Beaker Nov 8, 07:31
4, I would only bring up if someone called for a reference though -- nm - Beaker Nov 8, 06:57
1 - doesn't effect my current employer so I'd leave it - his chickens will come home to roost anyway -- nm - Pippy Pumpkin Nov 8, 06:57
I'd argue that anything that would significantly impact employment would come out in an interview or further discussion. -- nm - volnelk Nov 8, 06:34

1 if it's defensible -- 10 if it flat out never happened. - Will Hunting Nov 8, 06:17 2
- It is not defensible. The job title is completely false and contains job responsibilities that he was never asked to do. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 8, 06:19 1
  - Unless it reflects back on you or your employer somehow, I’d say leave it be. -- nm* - I voted Nov 8, 06:24
3 - though I would say a majority of people inflate their job responsibilities on a resume/linkedin page. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 8, 06:14
