I mean - it kind of is? I believe a company is allowed to ask another company if they’re eligible for rehire - and they record those things in their HR systems.

[–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 50 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This is true. The other company can ask HR to consult the big book of grudges to determine if there are indeed grudges.

Given that person already found a new job, if they plan to keep it for long, the previous company's record won't be useful anymore.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

They do keep records, but rarely share them.

If your prospective employer says that they didn't hire you because of what a previous employer said about you, and that previous employer doesn't have rock solid evidence, then you can sue for lost wages, defamation, and get a nice chunk of policy.

When people called the store I was managing to get info on past employees, the only thing we would confirm was the time range they worked for us,

[–] cubism_pitta@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

At least in my state they can only really confirm or deny that you worked for them.

That's only in an official capacity. People can say whatever they want if it is a backdoor reference.

Even with a proper notice, most larger businesses mark someone as ineligible for a year.
