What type of background check do HF/PE/VC forms so these days? Employment, education and felonies are a given (I think) but is fingerprinting and drug testing still in the mix? How about credit score?

I recently completed a background check by Sterling and HireRight. These are the areas they checked:

Credit history (not credit score) —they look for bankruptcies, charge-offs, late payments
SSN check
Drug and health testing
Employment
Education
Federal Criminal history
State and County Criminal history
Nationwide criminal history
Sex Offender registry

No fingerprinting

Hey Fishes,

Joined LTI recently in P3 band. However not allocated any project. Got a call from the resource management team to relocate, which I rejected upfront as I was promised a role in the location I am posted. It has been over 2 weeks since I am in bench. What shall be the next steps, shall I wait for some days or start looking for other jobs as getting a project looks difficult as there are minimalist responses.

So, some of my co-workers simply said that they want to go ahead and start something or start looking elsewhere (career change) because they don't know how much it will last at the pace we are going in regards to case intake and pay out. Should I start panicking or simply start looking elsewhere? They even they even told me if I was looking elsewhere or planned on doing so also. I found it weird in a way.

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people.

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.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.
