In some places you have to give contacts for background verification. There you can manage. 
 But if not, then yes your manager can give bad feedback. 
 Happened with me

I have good relations with immediate manager and other team members. But not with immediate managers manager. Will give contact of my immediate manager and other senior team members will work

Just make sure if their LinkedIn profile is checked their designations kind of match if you’re faking it

did you have a TL or senior colleague who knows your work, give their numbers. Also don't think the manager will give bad feedback- got to be optimistic

Background verification

Background verification- Grapevine

I resigned from my previous job few months ago and now I have received an offer from a different company.
I have been able to clear all the rounds and now the final round - background verification check is pending.

I have been asked to give the references of my previous managers whom I was reporting to ( need to give 2 names).

Now the issue is that I didn't leave on good terms in my previous company. I asked for an internal switch and they instead created a toxic environment and forced me indirectly to resign - which also led to a few situations where we had an argument. In conclusion, I didn't leave on good terms.
Now how do I provide my reporting managers reference.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Need advice regarding the background verification check

External Audit

The company had more than 6 layoffs in the past  10 months. Right from office boys to the company COO was affected by the layoff. The recent layoff happened 10 days back, where the company didn't pay their employees a single dime and instead gave them their value less esops to keep their mouth shut. The company is being run by 2 arrogant adamant co-founders along with their 10 other close ally so called the CORE team. The employees were on 30% salary cut since 10 months in the name of deffered and were promised that everyone would get it back with 8% interest on the cut. In every layoff employees were asked to leave within a day or two without even paying them for their notice period. Nobody was vocal about it as the founders had threatened some ex employees that they would make their life miserable and they will find it difficult to get jobs anywhere in future.

The dirty game of Dukaan's layoffs

If we actually think about it, this is even worse than Byju’s. No severance, long-standing pay cuts, and direct/indirect threats.  
 Dukaan deserves to die.

Operations Manager

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Lets use this space to describe our managers- 

Mine is so toxic, Has a very sad life though he is married and has one year old baby, jealous to next level,No boundaries! 
My manager is the most stupidest person I have ever come across in my life. Good managers are leaders on whom you can fall back to when you fuck up! 
Mine is so toxic that he only wants to take credit of best things done in the organization and everything otherwise he would just put on me. Keep on assigning tasks at odd hours, will msg why is this not done that not done! 
He has even tried silent treatment with me, as if that would work 😂
I mean he would try to show me that he is so pissed off with me because I choose not to attend his calls in off office hours, or maybe when i choose not to respond to his bullshit. 
Keeps getting deep into the arses of management. Would be first one to attend any parties and also the last one to leave the vicinity. 
Sometimes I feel so pissed off when I see people like him not been held responsible for a toxic culture at the workplace and how simply they just get away in a day by putting everythibg else on others. 
Being on a leadership designation, he is still so much insecure that he would leave no stone unturned to keep me out of the meetings where any achievements or good stuff is being discussed 🤦🏼‍♀️

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Some context.
Worked at an early stage startup around 1.5 years ago. This startup works in the Computer Vision space and does a lot of experiments(no direction at all, will take some project from some fintech company one day, some project from healthcare, and then some project from some random company, basically these go nowhere), I worked with one of the projects that involved document processing and it got some revenue.

At my last day, I was made to sign some agreement which included non compete.

1.5 hears later, today, I’ve joined a startup that works in FinTech domain and has been doing pretty good, and they sent a BGV check to my previous employer, and those guys are saying they won’t do BGV and that I’m violating the non compete agreement. They think entire world is their competitor, honestly, they’re nothing and no one even gives a fuck about their existence.

What can I do here?

My ex-employer is messing up my background verification

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

For background verification, is it okay to provide a senior colleague's contact, who is also in the same team, rather than immeadiate reporting manager?
They have asked for manager reference.
Do BGV comapnies verify managers as well?

Manager contact for background verification

Senior Data Scientist

Hey guys,

I wanted to know that if you are put on PIP, which basically means you are about to be fired and you resign from your position before PIP ends, does it show up during background verification that this guy was put on PIP in oyr company.

Also how strict is this background verification, does the third party verification also enquire about your performance in the previous company?

Does PIP show up in background verification

I had been toiling in my current organization for a good while despite the compensation not being totally fair. Whenever I brought this discussion up with the CEO, he always played the friend card and promised to give me what I deserve once the company raises the next round. He also claimed to have supposedly saved me from the layoffs which was completely in his control in the first place. Now I got a better offer, kind of like a dream offer- one that I well deserve, and have convinced a challenging panel to get. One small concern is that during the initial stages of the application, I lied about how much I was getting paid currently. Now that I actually made it and got the offer, I have to submit the documents. How far are these things taken seriously?

Will payslip verification be taken seriously?

Digital Marketing

3 years post-MBA exp. Currently at INR 35+ LPA. Offer in impact consulting at INR 23 LPA. Should I take it? Joining in Jan'24. Reason for switch - can't tolerate my toxic manager anymore. Have already put down my papers. 
Line of thought:
1. Take it - Something is better than nothing. At least paisa aate rahega.
2. Wait - Once I go at a lower package, difficult to demand a hike on my current one.
3. Take it, don't mention it - Companies will negotiate hard to lowball me if they know I am not working (gets worse if the LWD of my current company and the time am applying have a huge gap).

Money matters to me. But have been introspecting a lot. Will appreciate realistic input from the community.

Salary Cut

Growth Manager

In my BGV process it was found that I was a junior DS in one of the previous orgs. In my resume I mentioned it as just DS, without the 'junior'.
The HR has informed this has come up as a red flag from the BGV company.

This is weird. Has this ever happened to anyone and will this lead to termination? If yes, do they also ask to pay back the salaries? I have already worked for 3 months here.

I am planning to resign as soon as I get an offer and will probably start interviewing in a week or two. My manager is a good person, is it okay to discuss about resignation with him? Or should I wait for an offer?

Background Verification Checke

Need some help with Background verification in a MNC.

In my past experience:

- I got laid off on May 2020
- in July 2020 I got a job, did not like it and left early by Sept 2020 
- I joined a new company on Oct 2020 

In my resume , I have skipped this experience and mentioned other dates correctly. I didn't think it would be relevant!

1. Experience  A - Till May 2020
2. Experience C - from Oct 2020 - ..

1. Would this be a problem for background verification?
2. Should I inform the HR about this ?

I have two offers and I am planning to do both of them: 8LPA and 9LPA. In what case company could know this. And what are tax implications? Should I choose new or old regime. This is cash components.

Moonlightning: has anyone been involved in Multiple jobs

Hi Guys,

I am currently working at a startup and was previously working at an IT MNC for 3 months. I was put on the bench and laptops/assets were not even delivered for 2 months of requesting. When the assets arrived there was 3 weeks of compliance and regulatory training before which my position was eliminated as a result of business restructuring and downsizing. I got my startup offer (strategy type role)by then and I resigned from the IT firm with proper reliving letter and fnf settlement. I have now got an offer from a boutique consulting firm(after working in my startup for around 6 months) . I have however not mentioned this IT mnc in my resume at all since I did not gain any kind of work experience at this firm and it was not adding any value to my resume in terms of the types of roles I am looking for, I wanted to keep my other internships and startup tenure as they were more valuable. Is this going to cause an issue if I undergo a bgv process in my new firm? I have all the proper exit documents and there is no overlap of employment anywhere. Please advise. I am a 2022 pass out.

Hello Grapeviners.

So I was put into Focus (coaching plan, pre-PIP) at Amazon. After the focus period ended I was given two options
Leave with severance
Go into PIP 

I chose to leave. So I am currently serving notice period. My manager is trying to get some unfinished work done from me. I don't want to finish it. There are multiple reasons for it. Finishing this task will benefit him more than me.I am already stressed about looking for my next job

Here's the question:
My manager says that I can provide his reference to my next recruiter/hiring manager and he will provide good feedback about me. (He said this so that I feel indebted to him and finish whatever task that he assigns me)

Do hiring managers/recruiters reach out to your previous manager? Can they reach out to your previous team members instead?

 My teammates have seen me working on the frontlines and know everything about me from my work ethic to my abilities. They can vouch for me way better than my manaher ever could. My manager always underestimated me severely. He put me into focus all because of his blindedness (this came from my teammate not me)

I dont care about burning bridges with my manager because he was toxic af. Just wanted to know if recruiters will reach out to him or not? And can I instead provide a reference to my teammates
