That '5 star review' my coworker left for our boss was actually a copy-paste from Yelp
Last week my coworker bragged about leaving a glowing review for our boss on Google, but I caught him red handed when I saw the exact same wording on a restaurant called "Tony's Pizza Shack" from 3 years ago. He tried to play it off like he just reused his own words, but the review mentioned "the pepperoni was perfectly crispy" which is not really something you say about spreadsheets. Anyone else ever catch someone faking a reference or review with stuff from totally different places?

That reminds me of when a buddy at my old job copied a performance review off Amazon for a book he never read. Nobody caught it until the boss asked about his favorite chapter. Nothing like calling someone out on their own creative writing project, right?

Laughed out loud at this. That manager probably thought he was being clever with a sneaky question, but the guy dug his own grave. Love that it was a performance review too, not even a book report. Could've saved himself by picking a real review he barely skimmed.
