I have a colleague who had a job offer rescinded because the background check came back with his bankruptcy from several years ago. Have you ever heard of that? I told him he needs to call an attorney!

That's not unread of, a lawyer won't be able to do anything about that. Bankruptcy shows a lack of discipline or planning to some people

Bankruptcy happens because of one's character and habits which directly correlate with what can be expected at work. An employer is right to make a judgment based on this and there's a very good reason it stays on one's record for 7 years for a very good reason.

What exactly do you think a lawyer can do? The suggested lack of accountability is a major problem in society today.

Does the ñosistion he applied for and receive the offer require an insurance bond?

I have heard certain jobs in finance can be an issue. I did consider bankruptcy for a while and tried to get all the pros and cons before doing it.

It’s not a protected base for a discrimination claim if that is what you are suggesting.

An employer can choose to not hire if an applicant does not disclose information that is then caught with a background check.

I can empathize with your colleague though.

That’s insane and should be illegal

Ive never heard of that, what industry?

Does anyone know comp for an L4 Global Account Rep role (base, equity, bonus). I’m asked to give my expected earnings prior to going into my final round. Any advice would help!

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid?

I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
