I recently had a job offer to become an Assistant Facilities Manager at Topgolf, which I was really excited about. I love golf and frequent Topgolf with my friends, so the perks like discounts on Callaway clubs and free gameplay were a huge bonus. After a smooth first interview, I was offered the position on the spot. I told the Facilities Manager I would need until Friday to give my current job two weeks' notice, and they agreed to a start date two weeks after that. However, things took a turn when Topgolf's background check, conducted by a third-party company called Accurate, flagged my driver's license status as a "Learners License." This is completely inaccurate; I hold a full license and have the necessary certifications to operate heavy machinery on military bases, given my current role with a Department of Defense HVAC contractor. I have a clean driving record with no tickets or accidents. I provided Accurate with my driving record, DMV license status, and photos of my actual license to prove the error. Despite this, I received an email stating that they were rescinding my job offer due to the incorrect license status. I found it laughable that Topgolf, which primarily uses golf carts, would question my driving qualifications when I have the highest level of civilian security clearance and can operate heavy machinery on federal property. I expressed my disappointment during the call, highlighting the absurdity of the situation. I was really looking forward to this job as my current position is demanding and doesn't leave much room for personal time, which I desperately need for my mental and physical health. Thanks for letting me share my experience.
