My only gripe with this...
is that if he were a lowly employee, it would be grounds for termination. Whether or not it's applicable to the question of whether or not he can do the job is irrelevant when it comes to corporate policy. If the policy states that an employee must be truthful on their application/resume then the company has the responsibility to enforce the policy. Giving him a pass on this, in my opinion, is tantamount to saying "the rules don't apply at the CEO level" and that's a double standard. Personally, would I care about this one little omission? No. If he's doing a good job then he's doing a good job but my primary issue with all of this is that that argument wouldn't be enough to save an employee's job.
