Sorry to hear about that, but glad you have another company lined up. If it's very clear you aren't even trying, you will be terminated on PIPs. It's a risk for the company, and they are willing to take it if you are blatantly not doing anything. On the background check always put the truth. A background check is first and foremost checking if the information you entered for the background check is accurate. Second, when there is an inconsistencies it's not like you fail and are dismissed. They will flag the inconsistencies and company will review them. So the report might look like: STATED ON RESUME: Rainforest (June 2019 to Present) CONFIRMED BY COMPANY: Rainforest Music Services Inc. (June 2019 to June 2022) Sometimes the old company won't even confirm and it will say CONFIRMED BY COMPANY: Company did not respond (with a log of attempts)
