I see no point in her admitting her lie. She quit the job and that's the end of it.
But, to say that none of this would have happened if the background check was completed before she was hired is a leap of mammoth proportions. None of this wouldn't have happened if the OP hadn't lied on her application. She put these events in motion. She was responsible, she has admitted her mistake and paid the price.
I took the job knowing i would hate the hours. So its a relief in alot of ways.
so many of you have been very kind and helpful. And then some others seem veryself righteous and judgemental. Makes me wonder what makes some people think they are perfect..hmm..
I agree about the background check. Should have been done before.
It's already been pointed out on this thread that background checks aren't universally completed before a new hire starts working. It is not uncommon at all for someone to start a new job which is contingent upon a background check coming back "clean".

I know of cases where background checks are done weeks or even months after the hire starts work. In some cases that could really cause problems.
It's none of the employer's business. A few states have already passed laws making asking for this illegal. Hmmmmm, wonder why??
LOL! My current job isn't "crap". I like it. Got it through a hookup and did not lie about anything. I didn't have to.
LMFAO!!!!! "Ethical moral compass!"" I freaking love it!!! Ha! Ha!
Yes, um, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, Countrywide, Washington Mutual, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, George W. Bush, many on Wall Street and the world's rich. Our "ethical moral compass" leaders! LMFAO!!
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was worth $16 billion dollars in 2009 (the beginning of the recession) and his wealth rose $6 billion by 2012 to a new net worth of $22 billion.
How the hell does your net worth go up by BILLIONS in the worst recession the world has ever seen??
"Ethical Moral Compass" my _____.
"The corporations are out to get us MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN. Profit making is evil MAAAAAAAAAAAAAN. Capitalism is exploitation MAAAAAAAAAAAAAN. Companies should pay us more and forgo profits MAAAAAAAAAAAAAN. The rich are evil MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN"
There is a reason why people with this mentality are often failures in life and have a tendency to hang out in parks for months on end. They are the people who think government or businesses owe them something and then never understand why their lot in life never improves.
Employers and employees have a market based relationship. Employers agree to pay employees for their labor based on what the labor market dictates. It's the job of the employer to pay as little as possible and the job of the employee to try and get paid as much as possible. The low paying positions get paid little because a lot of people can do those jobs. The high paying positions get paid a lot because relatively few people can do those jobs. It's not rocket science. If you think you are being mistreated or not paid enough, put yourself on the market and leverage your skills and experience for more money. If you can't get a job or make more money, then develop some skills to market. Despite what our school teachers and parents would have us believe, we aren't all special little snowflakes with an inherently high value to other people and organizations.
In most cases, the rich are rich because they are either smart or extremely motivated (or both). The poor tend to be poor because they are either stupid or lazy (or both). There are exceptions to these generalities, but outside of trust-fund babies, there is a reason why there aren't a lot of stupid, lazy rich people.
