    You do not have a compromise agreement with your former colleagues and what they may do without the employers knowledge is none of the employers business. Or haven't you understood that despite the zillion times you have been told it?

    sorry i thought you meant people who still work there

    and if pushed im sure i could still, i think, prove a causal link between the ex-colleague and the current employer.

    for example the ex-colleague left before any documented incidents involving me occurred. and had certainly left well in advance of me leaving with a CA, which is what their e-mail clearly said had happened to me.

    Ha Ha Ha , you obviously have never had to employ anyone

    The OP wouldnt be in the position of having to '' rebuild'' his career if he had been capable of turning up to work and and doing the job he had been paid for ................and yes that does include being able to work along side colleagues in a proper manner

    so if i have a problem with certain individuals in one setting, it necessarily means that will carry on elsewhere? i think not.

    But the link between these episodes is you and you have demonstrated a clear inability to change.

    the link between these epiosdes is me and the same set of people.
  • How? You are talking about new employers, beyond their unfortunate contact with you there is no link to your old employers, their ex-employees, the cleaner or anyone else you may have thrown drinks over!

    rejected by me? do you mean by them?

    they are going to pay me compensation anyway so I don't mind the backdated element at this point.

    No, I mean you - I can't see you agreeing to a request from a prospective new employer for any disciplinary matters, which in itself would raise alarm bells and potentially ensure you do not get any further in the interview process. Honesty is always the best way to approach interviews; I have employed people in the past who have been honest about past transgressions, but never would if there was any doubt.

    im saying that my 'issues' stemmed purely from my dealings with a specific group of people in my ex-employer

    why would they exist with a completely different group of people??

    ive made it clear that a lot of these issues were petty in nature, i dont see why i need to give them the credibility, that in my opinion, they dont deserve. particularly when my ex-employer is quite happy to fan the flames and make them out to be much worse than they actually were.

    Throwing a drink over a colleague is not petty, in my opinion it is gross misconduct.

    If everything was petty you would have no reason to hide it from a prospective employer. As I said earlier, just be honest, we all make mistakes in life, but it is far better to be open about them and show how you have learned from them.
