My friend was fired from one of the accounting companies that just was acquired. They were fired for having two remote jobs at the same time in 2022. What HR data will be transferred as part of the merger? Is it just start/end date? Or will it include termination reason? Or some kind of black list?

I would think it will be just start/end date. Curious though how did they find out you (your friend) have two jobs? Did they look at tax returns or something?

Obviously they can’t legally enforce that.

Employment is generally at-will. You can be fired for it without them saying you’re being fired for it. Or you’re added to the layoff list, which happens every 6 months. Good luck with that case

It’s going to take many months to integrate the many systems of the two companies, so if I’m reading the direction of your question I’d recommend your “friend” apply asap and get in before that happens.

The integrations of systems is no joke.. its also traumatic

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that.

Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
