I was fired today for not following the company's code of conduct. How do I explain this to future hiring managers? I'm thinking about saying I was laid off, I figure there aren't any issues with that.

No issues until someone calls your former employer for a reference check.

I am so sorry to hear that. You can say you were laid off but they might check. If they do your past company can inquire about whether or not you are eligible for rehire.

I think it depends on how egregious the transgression was, and did you knowingly do it. You might want to come up with a way to come clean while downplaying it.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

I've done so well in this new role within the company that they are hiring another person to assist with what I do. I've voiced to my boss that I'd like to manage this department and they indicated that this is the thought for the future. Now they are asking me to train this person while I have my plate full. Is it wrong for me to expect either a promotion or to be paid to train this person?
