Getting rehired at a company got terminated from

[Anonymous]

So about 15 years ago I was terminated by my boss who is a SUPREME jerk. He was just horrible and has since been let go from that company finally.

The company was great just my boss was awful.

There’s another position open that i qualify for and am interested in.

What are my chances?

Apply and see if you get a call for an interview (along with reaching out to anyone you know who still works there) - honestly, it's so hard to get an interview now figure that all out once/if you get contacted.

Do you know still know anyone there that you can talk to? Maybe they can put in a positive word with HR.

Given that he was let go, may not be a total 0% chance. If you know anyone that still works there, reach out.

Are you URA?

If everyone thought he was a jerk just say "I used to work here and loved the company! I worked for Brian and unfortunately ...." and they'll go "Ugh, well he's gone now, so you don't have to worry about him!"

Depending on company records, you may have a note on your file that says something like "do not hire" or "unregetted attrition." (I came across that second phrase on some website.)

Call HR and check if you are eligible for rehire. No point spending time applying if you will be thrown out without any consideration.

How big is your company? If it’s Fortune 500, they MAY have records that go back that far. I bet most companies won’t be able to tell.

Leave it off your resume and see if they even figure it out. I would apply if you’re qualified.

Don’t do this. It’s like tipping them off.

Were you terminated for cause? Or were you given some sort of excuse like your position was being eliminated? That is more like a layoff, and people “boomerang” at my huge company all the time.

Companies rarely keep record past 10 years. Our official policy is 3 years. If they upgraded workday and fudged the data base, no one cares.

Don't most keep them for 7 years for tax purposes?? Seems sketchy.

Can you have someone call them pretending they are trying to get a reference for another job, and ask if you are "eligible for rehire"?
