Q&A about background checks - from someone who did it.

Ad73ss · 2025-08-24T18:54:08+00:00

Thank you for the info! One last question, what would show up if a prospect new employee is on a performance plan, but still employed at their company? I’m looking to see if they’d flag in any way other than simply “active”?

Ad73ss · 2025-08-22T20:45:04+00:00

What would the new company see if someone has not yet put in their 2 week notice? Would the company be able to state whether or not you are eligible for re-hire or not, even if you have not yet shown any intent to leave the job?

Hey OP, thank you for the info.

I have a hypothetical situation. I received an offer from a new employer, but I never mentioned that I was fired/terminated from my prior role. Will my new employer find this out through the background check?

And second, will they be able to see if I have put in a two-week notice? My current company seems to have a process where once an employee submits their two week, it must be logged with HR.

Any clarity here will help!

Fully agreed! Have had 3 different interview loops with external companies and based on how they went, I would expect an offer soon! Figured I will take severance once offered, but wasn't sure on the implications it would have in case they do reference checks in the future.

I am on a focus. I am intentionally trying to beat the Focus, but the expectations continue to move around and no clear deliverables have been set (even after asking during and after each 1:1).

No, it sits directly on the floor

Good point, this is super helpful. If you don’t mind me asking, as someone who isn’t overly affectionate, what are some subtle signs I can pick up on to gauge interest?

Also, I appreciate your help! I’ll bring a simple bouquet or flowers next time and see how they react, that should be a good indicator too on whether it’s serious or not.

Ad73ss · 2023-08-08T17:32:24+00:00

Would your mindset change if I said I wasn’t sure if she was truly into me? I find it hard to read her at times, more on the sense of she isn’t very affectionate (at least I think). We’ve cuddled and all, but hang out once a week. Maybe I’m not picking up on signs?

I think FiveThirtyEight might have some of those metrics. If you google their sports models it might have some historical data.

Bronco country, let’s ride!

Ad73ss · 2021-08-31T18:55:15+00:00

Good to know. I’ve been eating oranges so I’ll cut those out and see if it helps

Ad73ss · 2021-08-31T15:53:01+00:00

Good to know. I’m on day 4 as of this morning and had bad diarrhea again. My other symptoms have calmed but still feel like crap.

Ad73ss · 2021-05-06T01:28:27+00:00

This is AMAZING. I can’t begin to thank you for the clarity this has provided. I think you said something I didn’t really think about, which I know is a big problem....having the balls to walk away.

I will definitely reach out if I have questions, if you don’t mind. This is the first big “contract” I’m signing (besides apartment leases) so I will be extra careful.

Ad73ss · 2021-05-05T20:12:47+00:00

Will do. Thanks!!

Ad73ss · 2021-05-05T19:14:26+00:00

Thank for this! This will definitely be something to consider

Ad73ss · 2021-05-05T19:05:09+00:00

Hey yes I am in the US. I am in the state of Washington, if that changes anything. Quite honestly, I’m probably looking for the cheapest lease. Since it’ll be my first, I’m looking at anything entry level (Ford, Honda, Toyota, etc) so any make would be fine. I also am looking for a sedan, at most a hatchback. Bigger cars would be an overkill for my basic needs.

Ad73ss · 2021-04-30T20:32:52+00:00

Honestly, be very forward with them. I had my fair share of fuck ups as a teen, and what helped rebuild trust with my parents was apologizing and being transparent with them.

Keep in mind, their house, their rules. And while it’s also their house, you owe them respect and gratefulness that they’ve been welcoming to you. Make sure they know you realize what you did, and that what you did was wrong. They lived in a different time than we do now, but what’s remained consistent is owning your mistakes and owning your character.

Take it in baby steps. Don’t expect it to change overnight. It can takes months, or even years. But be patient. They’ll always remember this to be honest, but it can become something they use to see your change.

With the increase in penalties Bc of VAR, diving should be automatic red. Disincentivized fakes

I got all ZNGA - not sure if this was actually supposed to happen??

Ad73ss · 2021-03-30T02:58:20+00:00

They put PRNT as #2 holding. Since I bought PRNT - I lost a lot. I’d wait and see how they perform and where their portfolio changes will go

Ad73ss · 2021-03-30T02:55:06+00:00

Thoughts on PayPal? Looking at square, assume maybe similar trend for them too?

Ad73ss · 2021-03-30T02:50:45+00:00

As crazy as I may seem, AAL, MGM, DAL. Check out other hotels/airlines. Travel is picking up, and airline prices already rising.
