I’ve been in the workforce for 15 years, with four different jobs. My wife has been in HR just as long. I have never ever heard of a company that would share the reason for separation or compensation. Dates of employment and job title are all anyone will share. Saying that you were terminated for performance or for cause opens up a company to lawsuits. Nobody wants that.

Bcg 1 is correct. It’s a lawsuit waiting to happen, employers will not indicate why you’re no longer in the role.

Nah you’re good. Never disclose terminations.

What is the specific question on the background check?

If there is a space asking why you left, I’d just say “left to go to X job”

It’s irrelevant why you left. Usually employeers only verify employment and title. Maybe salary and sometimes if you are “rehirable” which getting laid off should not impact

I’d leave it blank or check resign if a mandatory field.

My last background check asked for starting and ending salaries. I left them all blank..

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM.
