What % raise did you get this year?
I was terminated after IT found some xx films on my computer. Interviewing for a new job, should I tell them the truth or tell a lie that I'm still working for the old company?
Username checksout.
Use the age old excuse! “It wasn’t a fit.” Nobody will care beyond that.
Which company terminated you for the xxx?
Sent you a message. I guess many companies would give at least a warning for the xxx stuff. Few just don’t give you a 2nd chance. People tend to hate something in themselves 😁
Can you also PM me? I'm curious too.
Tell them it was xx not xxx. Tell them your freedom of self expression has been violated.
Can’t change anything by saying that, bro
Call the HR people at your old company and ask what the policy is for what they tell employers about employment history including reason for leaving. I heard that at Microsoft, all HR can give is start date, end date, and whether or not the termination was voluntary or not. So if you were fired for something really bad, all they can say is “Involuntary termination” with no reason given. So basically, don’t lie that you were fired. But lie about the reason. Say that the work environment was hostile and you couldn’t work well in that environment.
Thanks for your great advice!
Tell them it was Research on Stormy...
There was a post the other day asking about watching porn with company property. You should leave your thoughts on there
Look like it totally depends on the HR guys. Mine was strict and didn’t give a chance to correct a mistake.. it doesn’t matter what I have done for the company. I was ignorance and silly
Who watches porn on a company laptop in the age of smartphones?!
Bigger screen.. ya know..
Apply for one of the big porn companies. Tell them you were doing research on their site for a new role.
If only the big porn companies were hiring c++ developers 😁
Surely there is some VR porn developer looking for one, maybe you can strike it rich
Tell them a lie. It will make it easier to terminate you when you're lowering expectations.
