I have to ask: This says you've been terminated three different times within the first 90 days of employment. That's a lot of early terminations. What led to the terminations?
I wouldn't expect an answer. If I were in the author's shoes, I certainly wouldn't answer. What difference does it make? At best, it was simply a poor fit, perhaps mutually. Sometimes it's layoffs. Worst case? Use your imagination.
But it doesn't matter. If they didn't list the terminations, would you still be curious? If they lied and said they were laid off, when in reality they slept on the job and stole pens, would it matter?
Ultimately employers still rely on trust via interviews, and possibly reference checks, but most importantly by often having some sort of trial period (a year, six months) or simply being at-will. Isn't working? So long, no hard feelings.
Obviously it helps to weed out bad apples but don't read into it too much. If the person is fired because they performed poorly in a hostile environment, they could still thrive in the right environment. We've all had shitty jobs.
> If they didn't list the terminations, would you still be curious?
I’m curious specifically because they voluntarily chose to list the terminations on a public website, then left a comment inviting everyone to ask questions.
If I was a recruiter reviewing someone's application, I would not bother to interview someone based on the number of short term roles and being terminated. This is assuming there are a few applicants. I think this stuff does matter, probably less so in the last 10+ years.
