Fraud (Occupational)

When subordinate employees realize the new supervisor has no idea how to do anything that were requirements for the job, including basic computer skills.
Fraud (Occupational)
● Won’t ask appointed trainer or internal staff for help so their lie is kept secret.

● Takes risks doing complicated work without instruction, messing up systems & reports.
● When they realize the Subordinate is on to them, they start discrediting them & making fraudlent claims against them before others become aware of their lies.
● Treats other subordinate like a best friend so they have an ally.

EXAMPLE: Subordinate training their new Supervisor who claims 25 years experience in the field:

Sub: Open that program again
Sup: Where is it, I don’t see it, where did it go?
Sub: It’s saved to your taskbar you should see it on there
Sup: Taskbar? I don’t see anything, where’s the taskbar?
Sub: It’s at the bottom of your screen
Sup: ...This?
Sub: Yes. That’s a taskbar
Sup: Click on the picture?
Sub: Yes, on the icon
Sup: (clicks on icon doesn't release button until told it's okay too.)
Sup: I’ve never used this type of system before
Sub: You’ve never worked on a computer with Windows?

Sup: No.

*(Subordinate to Hiring Manager):
Sub: I think the new supervisor is a fraud. They don’t even have basic computer skills (gives examples)
Man: This is concerning. I was told they knew the job well and would start performing duties quickly. Let me know if you find out more

*Fraudulent Supervisor puts the only employee that knows the processes & procedures of the job, on a PIP & gaslights them at every HR meeting thereafter.
