Hi, I got terminated due to not disclosing one of my previous employments. I worked in the same company for 5 years, and when I switched projects in the same company, the old manager disclosed a "discrepancy in my previous employment which breaches company policy" to a new manager. When I resigned, I got a termination letter.

I didn't disclose one of my previous companies because I had no proper supporting documents to justify my previous employment. That company was one of my friend's startup companies where I worked for a few years, but I didn't have legitimate cash transactions to prove the salary received, even though the company exists.

Dear member,

You have provided information about your termination; however, we do not know whether you have provided complete information. Prima facie, it appears to be a case of distrust or a frosty relationship between you and your old manager. Despite working for five years, why you could not earn the goodwill of that manager is not understood.

Had there been amicable relations, the manager could have condoned the suppression of information about your job. I don't think the suppression would have created any harm to the organization. However, your manager considered it appropriate to bring the issue to light. Yes, his actions speak of his truthfulness or loyalty towards the organization, but he treated the situation as if the sky were to fall if the withheld information were not revealed. His actions show there is something more than meets the eye.

Otherwise, did your position become redundant? Is it that the organization wanted to remove you, and this suppression of information served as an opportunity to terminate you? If this is true, then the authorities have used your manager's shoulder to take a shot at you.

Termination or retention of the employee depends on the criticality of the role played by the position or the person. If your role were critical, the organization would have surely tweaked the rules to retain you. Unfortunately, this did not happen!

Thanks,

    Hi Dinesh,

    In my case, will I get a new job? Even if I get selected for the next organization, do I need to mention the reason? Because in my experience letter, no reason is mentioned.

    When I asked my current manager about my termination, he said it's a breach of policy but didn't mention it in the experience/relieving letter.

    What will be the consequences in my future career after getting terminated? If I appeal in court, do I have any chance for a reversal of termination? Anyhow, I will not work in that company in the future.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-You should mention the termination in your future job applications for transparency. However, the impact on your future career largely depends on how you present it. An appeal might be possible depending on the specific circumstances of your case and local labor laws.

  • Dear member,

    Your abrupt discontinuation of service by the previous employer and your future employment are independent of each other. In a free and democratic country, every citizen has a right to gainful employment. Therefore, go ahead and start the job search.

    Your employer has not mentioned the reasons for your removal in the experience letter. It means that it is a neutral letter. An unblemished or untainted experience letter should not impede your job search.

    After getting the job, even in the background verification also I don't think your past employer will give negative remarks. As I surmised in my previous post, your removal is more attributable to role redundancy instead of misconduct or suppression of information from the past job. Therefore, do not worry about that count also.

    I wish you all the best!

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-You're on the right track! However, it's important to know that employers may have policies requiring full disclosure of past employment. Non-disclosure might be viewed as dishonesty. Good luck!
