protistThen 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
Lots of employers don't verify at all, especially for low level stuff.
Companies are also unlikely to provide much more than the start and end date of employment. No point taking any risks, no benefit from warning another company.
To each their own I guess…I work in healthcare and this is a very real thing that has negatively impacted people I’ve known who have quit without notice
I live in Georgia USA my employment laws explicitly state I can be fired or quit for any reason or no reason. As much as that sucks, I could quit because I don’t like my boss’ new haircut and that’s ironically more legally protected than me being fired for being bisexual.
Whether or not it’s legal to quit or fire someone isn’t the topic though, this is about your previous employer communicating your termination status to a prospective employer
I assumed this connection was obvious
- I quit cuz of a haircut
- I get a new job
- employer calls old job
- they cannot ask why or how I left because the law is I can leave for any and no reason
they cannot ask why or how I left because the law is I can leave for any and no reason
Just because you can legally quit for any reason at any time does not mean your prospective employer can’t ask your previous employer why or how you left. These are 2 different things
If they misrepresent the method of your termination in any way you can potentially sue for defamation, so, yeah, they can say what they want as long as they want to get sued.
Sure, but all your previous employer has to do is be honest. If you tell your boss you quit effective immediately, that’s “resignation without notice” at most companies. You can try to due for defamation if this costs you a future job, but your previous employer has their documentation lined up and you will lose
