I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.
Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.
JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

Easy to get back at them, dump a pile of wrongful processes and illegal business dealings and warn everyone to stay away both in terms of employment and purchase. Your employment file is private and laws protect that.
I don't know where you live, but in many nations, that is unlawful.
In the UK (where I am), for example, If a past employer in the writes a false reference about you, you may be able to take legal action against them by filing a claim in the Employment Tribunal, alleging that the reference was misleading or inaccurate and caused you to suffer a loss, such as a withdrawn job offer; this could be considered a breach of contract or even defamation depending on the circumstances.
A reference must be fair, truthful and accurate, and if it is not, you must be able to prove harm has been done (like losing a job opportunity) and can sue for breach of contract and even defamation.
In the UK, most references (to avoid this) simply write, 'Mr [X] was employed by us in the position of [Y] from dates [A] to [B ]. It is our policy not to provide any further details about any employment.'
But, yes. It is disgraceful and disgusting that a company is allowed to do that.
**The Impact of Misleading Employment Records: A Personal Account**
I recently came across a post highlighting the importance of accurate employment records and felt compelled to share my experience with this issue.
After resigning from my previous job to pursue an opportunity that aligned better with my career goals, I was dismayed to discover that my former employer had incorrectly categorized my departure as a “termination” instead of a “resignation.” This error has had significant repercussions for my career.
As a result, potential employers now mistakenly believe I was let go rather than having chosen to leave. This misunderstanding has cost me job opportunities, made securing new employment more challenging, and tarnished my professional reputation. Ironically, my former employer possesses documentation confirming my resignation but appears to disregard it.
I realize I’m not alone; many people face similar struggles with misleading employment records. Such inaccuracies can lead to damaged reputations and lost opportunities. Beyond individual harm, the issue affects the workplace as a whole; dishonest employer practices erode trust and foster a culture of fear. It’s disheartening to see companies prioritize their interests over the welfare of their employees.
I urge employers to take responsibility for maintaining accurate and transparent employment records. This accountability is essential for fostering a healthy work environment.
For those experiencing similar situations, know that you are not alone, and resources are available to help. Don’t hesitate to advocate for yourself and pursue your career aspirations.
Let's work together to cultivate a culture that values honesty and integrity. We must ensure that employment records reflect the truth and hold companies accountable for their actions. By doing so, we can create a future where everyone thrives without the burden of misleading records.
Maybe you should be able to sue them for that. It's defamation of character and it actually does cause you financial harm. Lawyers LOVE them kind of cases.
I didn’t think an employer was allowed to disclose the reasoning. Only the start and end dates.
Employers in certain States have varying Laws to follow. The Federal E.E.O.C. SITE will break that down for you
That sounds incredibly frustrating! It’s tough when the record doesn’t reflect the truth, especially when it impacts future job opportunities. I’d suggest reaching out to HR to clarify the mistake or seek legal advice to explore your options. There's gotta be some way to correct it, right?
Get a lawyer.
Why can’t you contact the company and demand them to rectify this? After all you have your resignation letter which was submitted and they confirmed. Shouldn’t be that difficult.
Where did they put it?
Yes just contact them and dispute it you have the docs
Equifax and workforce are telling me the documents that HR sent me show that from the company. The company has to contact them to remove it even though it shows resignation. How do I fix this besides legal because they refuse to remove it because it is their policy.
Do you guys use workday? I am curious what a former employee shows at other companies. All former employees at our firm show as “terminated” regardless of why they left. It’s how you know they won’t answer an emails. I have seen other companies who use workday so the same.

Rage against the machine man. We all need to take the power back. These petty little humans need to be exposed and held accountable and these company practices dismantled.
Freeze your work number and this won't be a problem in future.

I would get a discrimination lawyer!
If your former employers are talking bad about you and it's preventing you from getting hired, you have legal courses of action to pursue. HR can only tell another company that you did in fact work for them and the dates you worked, THATS IT. anything else and they can be sued for slander/libel.
I'm glad you brought this up. It is illegal for any company to provide information beyond whether or not you worked for them, as well as the dates of your employment. Any additional information they share could result in a lawsuit.
Anyone who leaves my firm regardless of why is “terminated”. It avoids invasion of privacy for those who were lack of worked or fired. Only HR knows the real reason some leaves.
Anyone who reads this should also bear in mind what industry Booz Allen Hamilton are in. There will be a different degree of oversight and secrecy around all employment issues.
They said it’s policy to show termination even though I’m seeing resignation and a company specifically asked about them. I have documentation showing termination and resignation But it shows termination first.
Sue them. They will change the policy really quickly.
I know of a place that sounds just like this and I was laid off and they won't hire me back cause of a rumor someone started. I think it has to do with hr more than anything
I left on good terms with a large tech company and it said that. I noticed that in Workday it said "terminated" I emailed my HR manager the following
"I'm likely sure of the answer but I thought I'd check in. On workday it says "Terminated" I would assume this is just workdays term for separation from a company (albeit a dumb word to use). But I wanted to make sure it was just that and not the fact of what I refer to termination as being fired. Can you clarify? "
She replied
"Yes, it’s just the thermology used in the system. It just means you no longer work for us, nothing more. You are still eligible for rehire at anytime if you would like to come back to us!"
So its just work day being dumb.
Did this happen in the UK, US or somewhere else?
They use Workday and I am being rejected from jobs continuously
If you can prove it's that employer specifically, it should fall under liable. You can go to the EEOC and any lawyer and they will probably jump all over this. You have to be sure though. If you have bad reviews or maybe your references aren't saying great things about you, that's a different thing. I have heard a lot of stories from hiring managers about putting down references who REFUSE to give a good reference and ponder why that person would even use them. Cover all your bases. Check everything. Make sure you're not misrepresenting yourself, first.
I had a company even ask about them specifically
