Hi,

If I've been terminated from a company and now I plan to apply for a different company should I disclose that I have been previously terminated? Also is the company legally allowed to tell any other company that I have been terminated?

Any advice would be helpful! And happy new year to everyone out there 🙂

Interesting situation. I myself was terminated from a major chain, nothing was given in writing to me but my DM told me it was for refusing to counsel and not getting along with the other staff. I contested the termination with company HR, telling them I never refused to counsel and my behavior was above reproach. I threatened to sue, which i would have as refusing counsel is a board violation and something I would had to report in my state on my public record. The company came back and changed the reason to that I had asked for a raise. I then filed for unemployment and won. I also do tell employers if they ask and state that I was "let go". I was able to find a position which I just quit. I believe integrity is above all in our profession. Admit you made a mistake, were fired and have corrected the deficiency. Be a Man. In my state leaving the building would get you in trouble ask someone to do it for you.
