References

I believe many references are given over the phone now. People feel freer to say things which they wouldn't write down.

You need to use your energy to CHANGE your situation, not to whinge and moan about it.

Just a suggestion, do you know any one else at the same company who would be prepared to give a reference instead of your boss?

I could but not at manager level

Unless a prospective employer specifically requests a reference from a line manager, and this is rarely asked for, then anyone working within the same company can provide a reference.

This used to happen in a company I used to work for were the Regional Director disliked most of the managers.

Managers would use sales staff for references and in exchange managers would give glowing references to other staff or managers.

It worked.
