""Woke up this morning to a fun impromptu meeting with HR from J2," the poster wrote. "Turns out, our VP couldn't find me on LinkedIn, so they messaged the recruiting firm who hired me and saw J1 on my profile. I was terminated immediately." When he asked if they planned to contact the first job, they told him they were "in the process of doing so." Within an hour, job one fired him, too."
""Really blows because I was doing well in each role and honestly I never expected to be caught," he wrote. "F*** LinkedIn.""
"Many in the comment section blamed the visibility of his LinkedIn profile. Multiple people said they had either deleted or hidden theirs completely to avoid exactly this kind of situation. One person said, "LinkedIn seems to be the top reason why people get caught... Why people keep their LI active is beyond crazy, it's just stupid.""
A remote worker held multiple full-time positions and was fired from three companies in a single day after LinkedIn evidence revealed overlapping employment. A search by a vice president led to contact with the recruiting firm and discovery of another employer listed on the worker's profile, triggering immediate termination. Subsequent employers were informed and also ended his employment within hours. Reactions recommended hiding or deleting LinkedIn profiles, using vague or stale profiles, or deactivating accounts to avoid detection. Holding multiple jobs is not inherently illegal.
