Does hiding previous experience of 3-6 months create any trouble in the new company?

One of my close friends is not liking the work in the current company due to the terrible WLB. He is planning to switch to a new company but doesn't want to show this current company experience of 3+ months. Have you ever come across such a situation? What's the best thing to do? If he reveals to the new employer then it won't be good on his resume because the company previous to the current one laid off 50% of employees and unfortunately he got affected too in that layoffs. So, due to tough market conditions he has joined a startup and realised that he can't sustain here for long.

Please guide if it's alright not to put the last 3 months experience in the resume and apply for new jobs.

Just say got laid off, if layoff from previous one as well there he can say switched for career growth, just mention every experience very difficult to defend later

But the thing which is worrying my friend is, does it not reflect badly on the profile as both are under 1 year experience

It does not in the current market scenario, through PF they will anyway get to know

Will the new company not be able to verify the PF account in the background verification?

Form 16 might carry the information. If his previous company is better to land a job, then might as well say laid off. Nowadays, layoffs are more about company runway and business plan failures than individual performance.

Else, mention and say that what was committed was not what was given. Unethical, but yeah.

Without context of names of companies hard to say more.

Hide Experience

Can I hide the experience of a company where I worked for 10 days? The same company is listed in PF service history. Will the new company raise any concern over it ? Will it be caught in BGV?
