Absolutely not
Nope.

Nope. They will always assume your performance is an issue.

Not unless you want to announce how dumb you are

No. Otherwise you see your leverage to 📉
Actually idk. Because they will verify your work, and if you told them “currently employed” this may raise a flag
When I got a new job the background check asked for a resume I’d update that to reflect your last date of employment. You can tell the folks who hire you after the process
Don’t! Your negotiation power goes down.

Hard NO. Specially if you have a severance period, usually you are "employed" for that lenght of time.
What good does it do for you?
Definitely not, unless they ask, then try provide a brief explanation, if it is not anything you did bad, you can still focus on your strengths.
🤣 🤣 🤣
“I know you’re hiring me for new job because you think I’m great, but at old job they fired me because I wasn’t”
No. Unless they ask. But you don’t need to volunteer it.
Question: did you know the layoff was going to happen when you applied?
No. Don't mention it in interviews. However, if you get the offer, fill out your real dates of employment on the relevant forms. This way, you don't raise questions for interviewers, and you pass the background check without issues.

Currently in background checks for a new role after being laid off. They won’t know and I won’t let them
No lol why
I imagine this like a Michael Scott situation
Nobody:
Michael: I’m not wearing a wire
I would negotiate with current company to extend last day
This is great advice
