    But some places actually do background checks and will rescind your employment if you lied about your job history. My current employer required tax stubs going back like 8 years. And this is a private sector employer as well.

      Do you work in a nuclear power station or something, there was absolutely no legitimate reason for them to check back that far.

      Also remember this is like entry grade low level jobs like shelf stacking or something. If you’re applying for something more advanced you don’t need to lie. This is just make sure they don’t reject you for being over qualified.

        Nope it’s just a software company. It was intrusive but worth it to make a lot of money working from home.

        And yeah plenty of jobs won’t check. I’m just saying that some will.
