Many companies will share "eligible for rehire" status.
Is that legal in the US? And what is the sharing mechanism? Word of mouth?
In he-said-she-said situations, have a good story. Deflect: > Ha, yeah, I did no such thing, but they certainly want a scapegoat, don't they? So, when I was there, lemme tell you about their data security practices... Gain empathy: > Right, it's understandable that they'd want to blame somebody . And who better than me, walking out the door, going to spend more time with my family? And minimize: > But yeah, there's n…
Yikes. As a sibling comment notes, this is a red flag. It actually makes you sound guilty -- especially if you share details about weaknesses in your security. That alone might be criminal, depending on circumstances.

Great advice there. As a hiring manager myself I really hate it when candidates slag off their current/former employeer. It's a real put off. However if you can turn a negative experience into a positive then it shows that you're not just bitter and/or a bad team player but rather that you use all experiences to help enhance your capabilities as a productive employee.

What's wrong with being bitter when you are wronged by your manager…
Being bitter about past employers is a sure fire way to fail an interview (from my personal experience) because a mopey employee is a poor performer, but it's also a lame way to go through life regardless.
If it is intentional, then why not say the company in the post?
In Europe this could be a violation of GDPR not to report it. If so, they would hurt themselves more by spreading this.
Op here, Thanks for all the advice, its honestly be helpfull and eye opening. To clear up a few things. - The comments from the ceo were via text and more "I would of called you if i thought you did something" and "ill talk to them but I dont know what more I can do". TBH I was angry and not exactly cordial in my communication. - From what I understand the "hack" wasn't my credentials but someone logging in near wher…
Make sure you tell them that they should contact law enforcement to report the breach. If they don't want to do that that would be a pretty good sign they know exactly who did it and that it wasn't you. If they credibly believed it was you they would have done so already.

This is exactly what happened to me. I went from being a model "A-player" to "He was a C-player who needed to go". Don't think for 1 second the business will ever compromise itself for you. #3 is really important. Do not shy away from sharing your stories with your potential new employer. It helps them better understand who you are. If they care about you and the investment they are making in you, then they will want…
#3 can also backfire badly. Personally I would avoid it.

Varies by state, but legal in most places. Big companies have automated reference checking. Via truework or theworknumber, or similar. Which can also verify salary...urgh. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/free-books/employee-...
Isn't that illegal in several states, including California?
I wouldn't worry about it from that perspective. If you need to you can point out that the company hasn't spoken to the police even when you reached out to them with concern over it, or retained legal counsel, or etc...but chances are really good it's going to be a non-issue for future employment.
If they do eventually reach out to police, and assert it was you, it will be more interesting. That said, it doesn't sound like the kind of thing where they'd have a particularly compelling case.
