    I like how you end your post with an example of you doing the thing you’re saying companies don’t do lol

    Of course this varies by organization and policy, but it’s a real thing that many companies do. “Terminated with cause” aka fired is just one of several separation categories companies may share

      I wasn’t HR. It wasn’t HR calling HR to verify employment. It was a former customer calling for a reference. So yes it can happen that if that OP used the company as a reference, the former manager could take the call and say, “He quit without 2 weeks notice.” It isn’t standard as your own link confirmed. But that’s not hr verifying employment.

      "Terminated with cause”

      This wasn’t terminated with cause, fired or anything like that. The post is about an employee who quit. They are allowed to quit.

        I don’t know what you’re arguing against here, my entire point is that there are some companies that communicate separation status by policy, whether that’s “terminated for cause,” “resigned without notice,” or “resigned with notice,” and that “resigned without notice” can negatively impact job opportunities at some companies.

          So if someone calls your HR department asking for employment dates, you will volunteer information that wasn’t asked?

          And how is the new employer going to know where you worked if you don’t share it.

            If someone tries to verify employment at my previous job, they will be directed to https://theworknumber.com/, which a metric fuckton of businesses use. When they access the information on that site, they will find my company’s HR department has uploaded the name, dates of employment, and reason for separation. I don’t understand why you think I’m somehow a proponent or advocate of this, I’m literally just communicating that it exists and is real

            Regarding not sharing your previous employer, you’re welcome to choose to lie on your resume, but I’m not going to
