I mean, who the F would make a big deal out of his being discharged in January if he didn't lie and claim it was March? You know, many companies have strict policies requiring immediate termination for such misrepresentations. That's frequently used as a defense to discrimination cases. Often, the padded resume is not caught until the employee is placed under microscopic examination after having been terminated and having initiated suit against the employer. The defense is, basically, that the employer WOULD HAVE terminated the employee for resume fraud, had it been discovered in time. Hence, no harm no foul. It's called the "after acquired evidence" defense. If I recall correctly, it originated in the federal courts in Title VII cases and cross-pollinated into the state laws of CA and elsewhere.
