Response by Michael Kotik attorney at law, www.LegalPhilly.com. I believe they might have let you go, because of your criminal record. Sometimes companies will hire individuals before their background check is complete. After it becomes apparent that there is a criminal record they will be forced to fire that person, not on personal performance, but rather their corporate regulations. It happens all the time. Frankly, I would never want to work for a company that looks at paper over the person.
