💭 If you were let go from your job tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd do?

Hypothetically speaking, if an HR Manager tells you that we have to “terminate” an employee under one name and rehire them under a new name because they got new papers, that’s not legal, right??

Here’s the situation: A manager says an employee isn’t performing, but there’s very little documentation. If it were you, what would your next step be?

We have our candidates do their first interview via video. We send them prompts and they record their answers. But lately I've been having trouble telling those applicants who record their own answers...
