[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have an answer, but I hope things work it for your husband.

It makes me mad that every type of firing is viewed as bad when people sometimes get fired because of a crazy boss or because they didn’t want to go against their values.

No one ever gives the company a bad mark yet the employee has to bear the bad impression of any firing.

There's no bad mark.

+1 This.  Sometimes people leave employments off their resume if it was a short enough period of time. Better to show a gap in employment than a firing if it's only a few months.  Sometimes there's a good reason they parted company, and the OP's husband's reason is justifiable.  But to outright lie about being employed for an interview cycle?  That's messed up and dumb because a lot of reference checks just verify dates of employment and whether or not the person left on good terms or not (which if the company doesn't want to risk a lawsuit, they sometimes gloss over terms of departures).  I don't see how he could explain what he did at this point--I guess he could just take his chances and hope they don't notice.[/quote]
