Insubordination

[WCS]

New Mexico

Not so much a legal but.........

Could I be rehired by a company if I was fired for insubordination? The condition was I failed to attend a mandatory meeting. The event took place some 11 years ago, and I am interested in rejoining this company. A friend who works in HR says he cannot locate any derogitory information (file) on me. Most of the leadership has moved on since then. Would I be considered, or will they have likely "blacklisted" me?

Are there any legal implications that would prohibit a company from rehiring someone if they have been fired?

Short answer. They can rehire you if they want to.

Could I be rehired by a company if I was fired for insubordination? If they wish to, yes.

The condition was I failed to attend a mandatory meeting. The event took place some 11 years ago, and I am interested in rejoining this company. A friend who works in HR says he cannot locate any derogitory information (file) on me. Most of the leadership has moved on since then. Would I be considered, or will they have likely "blacklisted" me? It's called "not being eligible for rehire", not blacklisting.

Are there any legal implications that would prohibit a company from rehiring someone if they have been fired? An employer is free to hire/rehire whoever they wish. This is not a legal issue, it's a matter of company policy.
