Legitimate_Ad_4673's journey

I recently found myself wondering if I should apply to a different department at the same company I was fired from. I was let go a while back, but now I'm considering a position in a different location and team. I've heard mixed opinions on this. Some people say that most companies keep track of your employment history, and being fired could hurt my chances of getting hired again. Others mentioned that if I was let go for a reason that wasn't related to my performance, it might not be a complete waste of time. I'm curious if anyone has experience with this situation and can share their thoughts.
