Then your next job calls this job to verify your employment, finds out you quit without notice, and withdraws the offer

You really think they offered a position without already doing that, if they were going to verify employment at all?

Is this going to be their last job? Lots of employers verify the last 3 employers or last 5 years

I’m a manager. No, I don’t care. Agencies will because they want to see you a service. But even they don’t go as far as more than 1. 2 references are rare.

I’ve dealt with plenty of applications and agencies. I don’t think it’s an insignificant sample size and experience.

I’m not talking about references though. I’m also a manager, I’ve done tons of references, and most are glowing. I’m talking about employment verification, which HR often handles totally separate from the hiring manager. Obviously this is going to vary based on organization and policy, and the entire concept seems deeply unpopular here lol

You’re simping for the bourgeoisie in !leftymemes. WTF did you expect?
