Well if you are saying they found out then I am going to guess that you did not tell them. It is also a crime to keep it from an employer. While it will not mean jail time unless you are on probation, it does mean they can fire you. I mean think about it, you own a company, you hire someone, they are good, but then you find out that they did this thing. They lied to you. How can you trust them? What else have they lied about? Are they doing it in your company? These are that they are thinking about.

I do believe in second chances. If you paid your price and dues, you should get one. You must always be up front about the conviction on applications or anything else that asks. It matters more if you don't admit it than if you are upfront . Don't expect to work in a bank if you robbed one or drive in a commercial job with a DUI in your history. If it's about drugs, you won't be working in a pharmacy. I think you'll find most people are reasonable, especially if they want you to work for them.

That is discrimination and the reason why people keep getting *****#$ up in this country nobody gives the opportunity to change and get chance to do well in life. Never lie and don't be ashamed you did your time and that's what counts. 100% support to ex-convicts get a chance in life don't let anyone put you down because of any reason.

Depends on your situation. I mean of course it isnt fair, you served your time. But you can't blame society for feeling the way they do, its only natural. But you are 100 percent right you did your time, and you deserve a regular life. Maybe you should move to another state?

People say do the crime do the time but really its more like do the crime pay for it the rest of your life.. It sucks you can get a judge to remove it but costs some money.

If you paid your debt to society, then it's unfair, but people are not so forgiving, depending on what you were convicted of. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. I wish youngsters would know this from a young age.

That'd DEFINITELY not fair.
As long as you never lied about it, they shouldn't be able to fire you for that.
You did the crime, and the time. As far as I see, you're another silly one of us trying to secure a life.
If this really ticks you off you should find a lawyer.

That felony conviction's just the gift that keeps on giving. Who wouldn't rather have an employee and coworker without a record?

Depends on the crime.Theft,money laundring,even murder should all be forgiven.But if it was child abuse,you should never be forgiven.Your face should be branded as a child abuser and you should be left out on the streets to starve.If you have the guts,tell us what the crime was.

Thats not fair but that also life. You have people out there who like to hold to the past.
