I have been trolling for a few days, but had something come up today, so figured I would go ahead and ask.
I have been looking to change jobs, and have been working with a recruiter. I interviewed for a job via the phone the other day, and was told by the recruiter to expect a job offer. The employer is actually through a hospital system that I worked for almost 10 years ago. I didn't even think twice about it, until today when she told me that I was listed as ineligible for rehire. Now, thinking back, I did have some trouble with some allegations people had made against me, and I ended up resigning. So they must have put me on a do not rehire list. The thing is, all they were were allegations. Nothing was ever proven, because, there was nothing to prove. It was all just gossip, and finger pointing. I called the HR dept today to find out what my personnel record states, but I was not able to get any answers. A person in HR said that its sometimes possible to get the status of your eligibility changed, but the HR managers have to review your personnel record first. So as of right now, my job offer is at a stand still because I don't know if this ever happens or not. Has anyone ever had this happen? Where they were on a "do not hire" list, but were able to get it converted back? And if so, how did they do it? I had no idea that I was even on it! And how embarrassing to find out by my recruiter telling me!

I used to think that it was the employees property, until I sued a former employer (and won). Your employee file is property of the employer, which means they can share, or decline to share, as much of it as they wish, unless part is subpoenaed. And the subpoena has to be specific, like allegations, comments by John Doe and Sue Smith, a lawyer cannot just subpoena all allegations, as the suit will be specific.
This is so interesting to know, Hoosier.
According to some legal advice that I have received, if a party is denied employment as the a result of erroneous information on the part of another employer, a lawsuit can be filed and won.
The younger the party is, the larger the settlement, due to future earning potential quotient.

That is true, but you have to be specific with your claim and information. Luckily, I knew, because that boss was an idiot and told me. In front of others. Then forgot that she told me, or lied to save her own behind with the company. Had it not been for that, I wouldn't have been able to sue or subpoena. It's the only way I know this info.
My lawyer told me that no employer has to hire you, or hire you back, regardless of whatever reason. That's why employers/management are very closed lipped on most events in employee file, and most prospective employers that fall through use the line "found a more qualified candidate", " you're over qualified for this position, etc". It keeps all parties from having to answer nasty questions

There is always a way that they can manipulate their media to achieve a desired outcome, eh, Hoosier?
Had I not been so honest, would I have perhaps gotten the job?
let me explain- when I worked there before I wasn’t married, so I had a different name. on the application it gave me the opportunity to exclude them from the application altogether. I didn’t know they would be a problem so I didn’t think otherwise, but if I had, and left them off of my employment history and didn’t put my previous name down on the application, would they have even have known I had worked there? I’m not saying it’s the right thing to do, I’m just wondering if they would have allowed it through. Does it get triggered by the SS#?

It's better to be a peon than to actually be peed on.
I think I can personally attest to this because a couple months ago I was helping a patient out of bed and he peed down my whole leg. It was the first time I could say that someone else peed my pants. Fortunately I had spare scrub pants in my locker, but I was pretty annoyed about the wet shoe until I could get home and wash it.

It's annoying, I know from personal experience, but you gave me a good chuckle

Thank you Hoosier for giving me a big laugh over your response!
I hadn't even considered making an animation out of a frontal lobotomy, but since you've made notice of it, AND it does have to do with nursing....
