Got a job offer and got hit with a HireRight background check. Been working 10 years and never had anyone do one when offering me a role. Now I’m scared to give notice at my current role until it clears. Anyone have any experience with this?

Yes, wait until the offer is signed and the background check has cleared before giving notice is the standard. If you know your background is clean and the contract is signed and countersigned already, then you could go ahead and give notice, but personally I would wait just in case anyway

Wait until the background check clears to give notice. It’s fairly standard practice so the new employer should understand!

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
