Would it have killed them to do any research at all on this article instead of just rephrasing a tiktok?

Seriously, it would take two minutes to log onto the site and see what verification process they have in place. The dogged insistence on adding absolutely no value is frustrating

This is the latest in low-effort content milling. Whenever I open a new Chrome tab on my phone, I see an endless stream of these paraphrased Reddit and TikTok posts. Right now I see Cheezburger, YourTango, The Daily Dot, Pleated Jeans, Upworthy, and Newsweek. Most point to outrage porn like r/AITA and r/pettyrevenge.
It's really quite funny to read some 22-year-old intern's attempt to take a Reddit post about someone feeling slighted at a family dinner and dress it up as serious breaking news. I guess this is how one pays one's dues as a young journalist these days.
It seems unusual that the company would rely solely on theworknumber to verify employment. My equifax report shows me having two employers, one from 13 years ago and one from 16 years ago and doesn’t show my current employer.
So it seems unlikely that this is the only method the anonymous person whose story this is based on actually used that data.
Also, if someone has three jobs and violates one of the jobs employment agreement, then it makes sense that they are fired. That’s unethical. My employer doesn’t allow second jobs without ethics reviews and I’d be fired (or at least really chewed out) if I had a second job.
My guess is they probably didn't rely solely on this report, but confronted her with the report and she probably confessed and gave some excuse for it instead of saying "the report is wrong, call those other companies if you don't believe me".
Or maybe they actually did call those other companies and got verification from them.
US-based companies don't view employee information this way. The (unfortunate) US approach is: "once available, it's no longer your property, and can be bought and resold to anyone."
