If I get fired from this job, do I tell my next employer?

You do not have to tell them. If they call your job it is illegal for them to state if you got fired or not. The only info they can give out is your hire date and day last work. It is up to you rather you want to be honest with them.

It is a commonly held misconception that companies only have to give dates of employment when providing a reference. They cannot lie about you, but if they fired you for being drunk at work and peeing on your chair, they could tell your future employer that if they wanted to because it is the truth. \n\nA company can not give you a bad reference for leaving your job IF that is the only reason they would give you a bad reference. If you left with no notice they could note that to future employers. (Although it's really not fair that companies expect notice from its employees but can fire you on the spot without warning).\n\nThe company is also not legally bound to provide you with anything that is in your personnel file. \n\nOn a higher note, if that company is really that bad, chances are other employers in the area know about it, and they would believe you over them.

You need to report your unemployment ASAP but you will not receive the first check (if you qualify) for 2 weeks. You have to go through a big process of filing, then the unemployment division will contact your previous employer to determine whether or not they are going to dispute your claim, then you will receive a check if they decide not to dispute. It also depends on the reason you were fired. If you were fired for the reason of Misconduct, you are automatically disqualified for ANY unemployment! Hope this helps.....

Employment terminated for personal reasons. \n\nAnd your previous employer can say anything they want, depending on policy. But most times, they will only tell what is asked, which is almost always just time of hire and time of termination.

That depends on why you were terminated.\n\nYou don't want to lie, one because its dishonest, and two because it could come back to haunt you.\n\nIf you were terminated due to a conflict with another employee, say so.  You don't have to go into details, but it would help to make it clear that it was an isolated incident.\n\n7 years in one place shows you have some staying power.  While that it good, most employers would understand if you (or your previous employer) determined it was time to move on.\n\nYou also could state that you had hit the ceiling at that particular job, so it was time to move on.\n\nIf you were terminated for illegal action that was reported, that will quite likely come up on a background report.\n\nSo again, it comes down to why you were terminated, and it is up to you to sell that if you are hired, you wont be forcing the new employer to make the same decision down the road.

The Employer can not fire you for looking around... Unless you already have an offer pending from another work place and it is in the same kind of business as your current job. For Example.. If you work for a bank and you are applying for another bank job at a different place it will be conflict of interest and your work place may let you go as soon as they find out that you have an offer and you are nagotiating.. however if they fire you and they do not have proof of this you may apply for Unemployment... \n\nThis has happened to me.. My, new, now employer called for verification of employment at my old job.. the HR from my old job showed up at my office the next business day and gave me my exit interview... Well the new job was still pending and i had no definite answer i applied for unemployment and collected it for 3 weeks until i started the new job..\n\nGood luck..\n\nYou can also search for jobs and then fax or email the resume to the business you are interested in.. This way your resume is NOT online for anyone to look at..\n\nThx\nHope this helps

You will have to decide to live with this situation or leave the company. If you choose to stay and continue taking the blame, eventually it will catch up to you and you will be fired for incompetence (which is probably a wild card your boss is hiding from you). My advice is to keep your job for now, but update your resumé ASAP and start sending it out. Also, and this is very important, document every single incident for which you have been blamed, including dates, times, names, locations, and a clearly written explanation detailing it. This will come in handy if your boss tries to pull a fast one on you.

This happens more often then you would think.\n\nHonestly determine what led to your firing.\nThen, decide what you want to do and start looking.\n\nIt may take time, but you will find a new job.\n\nEverything happens for a reason and you will be okay.

Why would you do that?... If your new potential employer finds out, you might have difficualties. Make sure you have a good justification for it. You migh want to write a letter to your former company where you explain what you did and why, and have it signed of reception or something, that might protect you if this whole incident hinders you in the future.\n\nBest case scenario, they won't find out.

This is a difficult situation for you. I think it is of the utmost importance for you to realize if you are mature and professional enough to work in a position where you are in constant contact with people. You have shown a great deal of immaturity here by referring to a caller as a "*****." Therefore, tomorrow ask for a meeting with your supervisor. Outline a plan to improve your customer service skills. This plan could include training provided through the company, and smiling while talking on the phone (this tactic actually makes you nicer to people and sounds friendlier). Admit your mistake and agree to whatever sanctions are imposed upon you. If you are fired, you are fired. Chalk this up as a learning lesson and move on. If you are given a second chance, attempt to do your very best. And remember, going from job to job (a.k.a. "job shopping"), not only looks bad on a resume but can prevent you from getting future jobs. If you feel you are annoyed by the callers, then it is time to find employment that is not related to the services industry. Perhaps, you could become a typist and have no contact with people?

ok, this one I can answer truthfully. Why, because it happened to me. Someone said something so bad that another persons job was on the line. I spoke up in defense of the employee who was about to be fired. I told them all I knew with the exception that my name not be revieled. As a result, the employee was not fired, but everyone was mad at me because I  came forward. Somehow, all found out it was me. In the end, everyone made my life a living hell and I wound up quitting my job. I am actually doing alot better now and am stress free. Luckily I didnt need my job that much or else I would still be there suffering. Bottom line is , if you really need your job, look the other way. No one will give you a raise or promotion for being a narc, even though it should be the right thing to do.

Do NOT tell them now. While you owe professionalism to your employer, do not tell them "what-ifs" and "maybes". You will look like you have trouble making up your mind should you decide not to leave and permanently damage your career there.\n\nWhen the decision is made, THEN tell them. But only after you are certain that you are going to leave. If you are in a key position, try your hardest to give them as much notice as possible so that they can start replacing you.\n\nWhen you tell them, be professional and courteous, you never know when you may run into these people again.\n\nBest of luck!

Nothing, now. I have spoken up in the past and all that happened was trouble for me, even to the point of losing a job. Its a myth that you can speak up about these things and the company can't touch you. If they want you gone, they will find a way.

Unless you have a contract, you are an "employee at will."  What your employer is telling you is that they want you gone, and would fire you except they'd have to pay unemployment for you.\n\nIt's time to move on.

Hell no.  Human Resource managers are looking for any reason to eliminate your resume.  Being fired looks really bad on your resume.  You better have a great reason for getting let go ("layoffs").  \n\nIf you leave the job off your resume entirely then you better have a good reason for the break in between jobs.  \n\nA person who is going to hire you will check previous jobs and referrences.  The old employers are not allowed by law to bad mouth you to a potential future employer.  They can only say things like "they were employed here, but they will not be considered for re-hire".  Your potential employer will be smart enough to read between the lines.\n\nGood luck!

Well to start off, congratulations for being totally upfront and honest with your former employer about leaving the company.  Even though it seems you were punished for this, it was totally the right thing to do; you have nothing to be ashamed of or anything to feel that you should hide, which you would have had if you had been sneaky or deceitful.  So, that is something a new employer should definitely take into consideration.\nIf I were in your spot, I would be up front and honest about the situation without tearing apart the former boss or company.  I quit my job back inJanuary due to physical and emotional stress, and am just now trying to find a job.  It's taken me that long to get over the damage done to my heart.  I have asked prospective employers to not speak with my former employer, and I tell them the truth:  that it was a very hostile environment and that I am not comfortable with anyone at that company knowing what is going on in my life.  I have, however, given references of people who worked there when I did that are no longer there that I am okay with.  The two places I have been interviewed this week were very understanding.  Mostly, they appreciated my honesty.  But, I was also careful to not tear apart anybody, either.  I think that helped.\nIf you let them know your version of what happened while being respectful of the people involved and they call your old boss who lets her mouth run off about what a louse you are and drags your reputation through the mud and they choose to listen to her, it's probably not the place for you to be anyway.  Chances are they will compare your respectfulness to her disrespect and you'll win out anyway.  In any case, you'll be able to look at yourself in the mirror the next day, knowing you have done the right thing, no matter the outcome. \nBest wishes!

I think it would be a mistake to tell your boss that you’re looking for a different job.  You really have no obligation to tell anyone until you submit your official resignation.  Your boss may be nice and you feel guilty for looking for a new job; but, when it comes right down to it, your boss’s priority is covering his butt.  You tell him now that you’re looking to leave, he may very well think that he will give you plenty of time to look for a new job and figure out a way to fire you so he can get someone else hired and trained ASAP.  Besides, people change jobs all the time.  It’s not like he will be totally shocked. \nLook at it this way:  What would you think if the boss came to you and said “look, we’re planning to lay you off some time in the near future.  I’ll let you know when we figure out when.”  \nBut at the same time,  you do have an ethical obligation to give the boss at least two weeks notice, more if your work is highly specialized and/or technical.  Negotiate enough time before your start date with your new employer.  Don’t burn your bridges.  You may want to leave the door open to return if the new job doesn’t workout.
