    How should I tackle the question about why I left my old post without another job to go to? Any ideas?

    You should have had a conversation with HR re how they are going to handle reference requests. Be mindful before constructing tales about your exit now.

    They told me that I will get a 'decent' reference stating I resigned. I am tempted to just say that I left because I had difficulty with my previous manager. Just telling the truth.

    I'd be honest - I didn't meet the terms due to contract specifics but gave it my all. And boy I'd make a point that I'd actually stayed and saw it through, ended mutually blah blah rather then run which is perhaps something much more to be ashamed off... :o just my take of this time

    Could happen to anyone. For all they know you could have been more scrutinised as pay due to go up etc
    (My big ears have heard people slate last manager directly not get job.)

    That may give the impression that you are difficult to manage.

    Sounds like:

    1: You are being managed out
    2: You are not popular with your colleagues

    IMO, just get your work done, if you get to be manager one day then you can make your mark or disagree with your current manager but till then, just crack on as stated.

    We are only getting your side of the story, for all I know, you could be very unpleasant OR you could be totally innocent.

    The fact that you have not passed probation yet is worrying though, will your manager want to keep you in her team? I think you need to play office politics a little better.

    No point in posting what you have at this stage then. The thread has moved on.
