Except that it's not standard at all. Apple is the only company that reportedly does this. I have worked in a lot of jobs over my 21 years of working, and every single job has the correct title EXCEPT for Apple. InVerify AND The Work Number both said that Apple is the only company that does this.

How would that be standard?

Then, IMO, all those other companies are the ones people should be complaining about, not Apple. No employer should share employment details beyond "he worked here" with third parties for any reason.

I'm complaining about Apple because they cost me more than $10,000 in wages by being the only ones who LIE.

Omission would be nice, especially across the board, but that's not what this is. They put me in a position where I had to prove I didn't lie.

If there's a law that employers cannot ask for your previous job title, that's great, but employers shouldn't be allowed to furnish fraudulent data either.
