Is it possible to not put a two-month job on my resume? (I worked at the firm for two months and then got fired along with some other people because of the boss) . Will background check discover this?

Resumes are marketing materials not exhaustive accountings of your career.

There’s a time to reveal. Resume may not be it. Never hide information on a background check. That’ll bite you. Don’t need to say you were fired or why. Your prior employer should not release that info either. That would give you cause to sue.

Did not get along with the manager

Why not just say not a good fit? I would leave it off and if it comes up, explain. I would not say you were fired or didn’t get along with management.

No, leave it off. Recruiter friend says it’s not uncommon to have a gap up to 3 months or leave bad experiences off your resume. Key is not to have too many.

I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

I have a phone screen interview with AWS for the position of Systems Engineer with the Linux team early next week. I’ve been a Sys Admin for the last 4 years, and I’m not very well-versed with coding. The phone screen does have whiteboard coding, any tips on what I could do to prepare for this? I’m not sure if I can let the interviewer know I’m not too strong with coding. I do want to take up the challenge, and also find out if the role would require extensive coding though. Any tips?
