Wow no disrespect but do you take a breather in between sentences;)
I would have thought the previous boss would now only give a personal reference.It will rely on the last boss. Many now only give facts such as start date, end date, sick record etc in case they get sued.

All either of them can do is state facts. You're no longer allowed to give opinions on a reference, so I don't think you've got anything to worry about so long as you haven't ever been in trouble at work or have a history of being late for work etc!OS weight loss challenge: 4.5/6 lbs0
