"We recently had an employee start working with our team and I overheard him telling another employee that he had his friend provide his employment reference because he was let go from his last position. I enjoyed working with him but ultimately felt that I needed to speak to my supervisor because that meant that he lied on his employment application which is very unethical. Luckily, he did not end up losing his position over it."
