Got fired from my last company - really, horribly, poor fit, tried everything to make it work. About to get an offer from OW, but want to confirm re: background check - will the firing show up? Or just say employment dates?

Don’t worry about it, background check usually only wants to confirm start and end dates. Previous employer would not say you were fired, however they may if it was for cause aka you stole something…but even then I doubt it

DONT WORRY AT ALL! period. I went through the same thing last year and was worried. It never shows up in your background check.

Just recently changed jobs that required an independent and in depth background check (10 years of employment!). When I saw the report, it listed dates as well as circumstances of leaving. So if I had been fired from a previous job, yes, it would have shown up as such.

They generally don't show whether you were fired or not.

NDAs - signed my first one as a part of a severance agreement. thinking about leaving an honest review for this company, but unsure about the liabilities that come with this. (NDA mentioned no defamation) leaning on the side of letting it go, but this employer sucked BAD and i want others to know. ik its hard to give a straight answer bc it depends on the agreement, but wheres the line between bad mouthing vs your honest experience?

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?
