WTF that's way to much insights in data that shouldn't be collected in first place.

When i got hired last which was 2 years ago (in the US, huge company) they outsourced the checks to a 3rd party and my god were they incompetent. They passed me with a caveat saying they couldn’t confirm my most previous job. The records they turned over to me after show their attempts: 3 phone calls to the main number listed on the company’s website. That’s it. The process dragged on for so long i suspected they were having issues because most everyone i had worked with had been laid off and the company barely existed with likes 15 employees down from 300. They wouldn’t take my offer to connect to the VP and just called the same number until they gave up. Its laughable.

I mean, no one is hiring me one way or the other, but with that method I can look at my CV and feel I accomplished something. So, that's good.

Refer them to the documentary boss baby if your early employment history is ever brought into question

Head of security, Wold Trade Centre, NY, 1995-2001.

I see from your resume that you're good at looking the other way while we make billions. You're hired.

Didn't you also help found that FTX crypto exchange a few years ago too?

I just now realized: someone has the most cursed resume on LinkedIn. I'd expect something in line with this.

I see you left that short stint at WorldCom off your resume.

“I tried to save them but… they didn’t listen”

That's why you have to keep it modest at 'regional manager', significant enough to be useful looking, insignificant enough so you can't possibly be to blame for the downfall of the company.

Well I read the art of the deal, I'm as baffled as you.

"It says here you were a general manager at Radioshack?"

"Correct"

"They went bankrupt in 2015, which would make you.... 11, at the time?"

"I started young"

Yeah Frys folk were a super weird set though so that might not work as you think

The brand exists, but it's not the same company.

I went to a Radio Shack a few years back. They still exist as well

My father actually ran a few when I was little years later we found a box of promotion razor blades in the garage with the circuit city logo on them, along with an apropos tagline “like nowhere else.”

What is a Tandy store?

RadioShack is a subsidiary of Tandy. It was not created by Tandy, but bought in the 60s.

There were no regional managers named Jhonny. Your friend is a liar and you should cut them out of your life.

Sears blew it so bad. They were essentially Amazon before Amazon, with that huge catalogue. All they had to do was put that catalogue online, and they could have easily been first to market.

Instead, they had a board of old coots with that old "I don't even know how to turn ON a computer" attitude that was common in the 90s among old farts. They thought that was some kind of brag. I heard it in my old company, too. Those fucking arrogant losers sat in their boardroom congratulating themselves, as the Internet steadily ate their market share to nothing.
