ZARRELLA LIED ON RESUME
His brand-management strategy all but discarded by former employer General
Motors, former GM leader Ron Zarrella is now being punished for lying on his
resume. Current and former employer Bausch & Lomb will suspend at least $1.1
million of Zarrella’s bonuses for 2002 in the wake of his admission that he
never actually graduated from New York University’s business school, although
he did attend the school in the early to mid-1970s. Zarrella offered an
apology to B&L, which won’t fire him for an infraction that has other careers:
"There is simply no adequate excuse for a misrepresentation of this kind, and
thus I offer none," he wrote to the company’s board, according to Reuters.

JB's,
Funny about the newspeak.............
He called it a misrepresentation........
Where I am from it was, and still is called a bald faced, bucket mouth lie......

Funny, the average employee would have been gone without a second thought, but he gets a slap on the hand. Seems a little inconsistent on the punishment.

I would guess that B & L has a pretty clear rule on lieing, most companies do, on resumes, so why is it OK this time?

Million dollars is nothing to him I bet? To the rest of us a million dollar lie would ruin possibly more than a day!!

Well, you have to define what is........is

I guess they never covered that in the Arkansas school system.

OK... we are holding back 1.1 million of your bonus until you can learn not to tell tall tales on your resume'.

What a joke!
