I fired some stupid eejit who lied on his CV
We hired an 'expert Unix C programmer' cos there was no way that I could have go the project done on time. After about a day, it transpired that he was an utter liar and knew almost nothing, 'just did a few projects at Uni'... Now how was this work going to get done...

I phoned the boss (who was in Singapore) and told him, and he said "Do you want me to come back and fire him?"

"Oh no.." I said in a calm voice "let me do it..."

I fired his ass, called him a liar, explained to him in depth the hole he had dug me in and threw him out the door. Did he cry? Oh yes... he cried like a girl. "Power, oh yes... delicious, just, righteous POWAH!"

Next two weeks I worked 12+ hour days, no weekends. Effing lying turd.

How about fire the guy that hired him.
Guy was a chancer and had he known just a bit more he would have been ok.

Err...
Any particular reason why this wasn't discovered in the interview?
