The Machine Fired Me (idiallo.com)

Gotta love these systems. Once a year I'll get a call from a headhunter trying to poach me for roles with a certain company. Every time they call I have to tell them the same story, "I wouldn't bother trying, they claim I am an ex-employee and I am listed as not being authorized for rehire." Every time they claim, "No, I can fix it, give me a few days." It never changes.

The kicker? I have never worked for said company a day in my life. Yet they claim I was terminated on bad terms. I've watched all my credit report thinking it was identity theft, etc and have never seen anything that has hinted to that. I even currently work for their largest competitor and have never had an issue. One day, I would love to know what they have on me...
