> but we're a small outfit with a focus on personal development, intrinsic motivation, good climate, and low turnover. This is cool and all, but company culture is a two way street. Presumably you have this focus because you expect that employees appreciate it and in return are happier, more resilient and ultimately more productive because of it. But you can’t have this with someone who misrepresented themselves from the moment they walked in. Consider also how this looks for other employees. They were hired for a job, do it well and in return got a great employer who cares about their wellbeing. But if you keep this person on, then you devalue the effort everyone else puts in, because apparently you can just lie on your resume and get the same great treatment as everyone else without any consequences.
