• One of the more amusing details in this story is that in the fallout from this coworker's accidental reveal, human resources got involved because another employee believed this guy was “falsifying his identity.” We wouldn't exactly go that far. It sounds like this was a relatively antisocial individual who somehow thought being from Great Britain could give him a leg up in the workplace. The man already has to deal with the embarrassing truth. Let's leave HR out of it, shall we?
