Hi fishes,
Any guess how many people are laid off from Publicis sapient in past few days? Really scared for my future as I'm also under probation period and deeply regret for my choice of joining this firm...I don't understand why were they recruiting peeps when they were short of projects. Publicis Sapient

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Tribunal, alleging that the reference was misleading or inaccurate and caused you to suffer a loss, such as a withdrawn job offer; this could be considered a breach of contract or even defamation depending on the circumstances.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.
How do you find out this information. Is it posted online. Would make sense why I keep getting rejected after great interviews
Two years after being laid off after a buyout, I still can't get any kind of work. I'd love to know what they're saying about me.
Try that in Singapore where the Ministry of Manpower requires proof from the Employee that they were unfairly fired first from the company. Employee rights are seriously lacking unless you happen to be physically abused and it's caught on video and uploaded to social media first
Happens all the time. Old company used to “black list ” anyone that left to go to a competitor and flag their file as never rehire.
When I was in management at Publix, the only thing that we were allowed to tell prospective employers was if the person did work there or not and if they were rehireable. There were very few things that would make someone unhireable. Even if you were fired you could usually be hired again in a year.
Workday is where a lot of the companies I apply to are and they are disqualifying me for this and it’s is workforce and the credit agency Equifax.
How do you know if an employer even did this? Are employers able to look this up/ see without even contacting the employer? Is there like an employee database employers can look you up on so you can go see if its accurate?
They can put in discipline reports attendance issues or whatever they want . Next time take a look at arbitration rights in your agreement even that can be changed
It is definitely amazing, being that termination and resignation both consist of eleven letters, But what's more interesting is that is was probably a list, similar to multiple choice when submitting that information.
Did you resign because you were about to get terminated?
No
My friend I am not a Lawyer. It seems like you have a real strong case in terms of a Defamation Lawsuit. All you have to do is prove harm and the documents that you possess, and what they are sharing to perspective employers are your proof.
I can pretty much see them backing down if you were to contact their legal department and point that out.
Companies are like people and you can't figure out why they get so butt hurt? It happens, you get no response go to an employment Lawyer and I am sure they'll do the work for no charge up front and want a percentage of any recovery.
