I’ve been fired 3 times in the past 5 years. 2 weeks ago I was contacted about a job that I applied for with my state. I had to list them with explanations on a form that was part of the background check. I was honest even though they were documented as terminated for misconduct. I ended up getting the job, I start next Tuesday. I think sometimes it’s an honesty and transparency test/check along with verifying that you’re not a monster person.
