Medtech and civil engineering are instances where this is common. | |

"You get the engineering department, you get accounting, and I get finance, and the one where the most employees bring in their framed diplomas gets a free lunch from the others. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!" Yeah, there's really no good reason for this. | |

| Apr 16, 2016 at 19:57 | comment | added | Chan-Ho Suh | I've never heard of employers asking to see the physical diplomas after they already verified your education through the official channels, as obviously that would be quite silly. If you don't mind a white lie, you can always say you lost the diplomas in a move (happens, and not everyone frames or even keep their diplomas). | |
| Apr 16, 2016 at 19:46 | comment | added | Kilisi | I used mine to start a bbq years back, hope I don't get a job where they ask for a look at it. I've had an employer tell me to bring mine in once, but I just said no. | |
| Apr 16, 2016 at 19:11 | comment | added | rath | they want to see the certificates I have hanging on the wall of my home office do they want to see how well-centered it is in the frame? They answered what do you want me to do (bring the hard-copy in) but you asked why do you want to see it. Ask again, be explicit. Have you inquired about this with your manager / higher-ups? | |
