Always? You make a habit of doing stupid things do you?

Only the once and it had the desired effect a few years ago... after an hour of idle phone threats from old manager £2k paid into my bank.
Sometimes direct action works better;)

You have a habit of making inaccurate snipes at people, and then not responding when shown you are wrong. So why not say sorry this time?

Oh sweet J, another tiresome bore.

I wasn't sniping. They just worded it ambiguously, only clarifying it after prompting. If they cannot express themselves concisely and unambiguously to me then I won't explain. Simple.

Alas, poor expression and comment ambiguity plagues this site at every turn.

And as I appreciate that you and many other "forum sycophants" appreciate, thank and require validation if replies to the seemingly know-it-all clique on here (asking me to apologise to another member, for example) doesn't appeal to their idealistic viewpoint, I couldn't give a hoot to be honest.

It was perfectly clear to everyone except you and the clarity was contained in the full post and not the few words you decided to quote out of context. Perhaps if you bothered to read the posts and offer useful advice or insights instead of sniping at what others, who are trying to help, say, you wouldn't get pulled up over it? Since you have such a low opinion of others posting here, your advice must be excellent, so it's a shame you never seem to share it.

On the job element, I have a new job and my immediate manager is happy with me, and has dismissed the reference. However, I am now basically living in fear of someone higher up doing spot checks, seeing the reference, and asking questions. Especially if my new company decides to let people go at some stage, my poor reference will go against me. I understand that nothing bad has happened yet, but their false reference (again, done purely to screw me over) has put me at future risk, and this cannot be fair.

Stop living in fear and focus your energy on doing your job, your manager is happy, keep it that way.
If HR ever discover this, you can easily justify the reference as being malicious, your manager took you on despite the reference as he was aware of the companies reputation, the company has hired others from this company and all are telling a similar tale of !!!! poor and vindictive management.

There is a company in my sector that is renowned for being complete !!!! badgers to work for, they also give duff references, pay slowly and mess you about.

However their references are irrelevant as they are so well known that if you have that company on your CV its seen as a badge of honour as you survived their 'innovative culture'.

Bit rich coming from the person who resurrected an argument after 6 weeks.

OP - I'd change your username. Try googling it. You'll be surprised what you find out.

First thing - your ID seems to pretty much identify you and a quick google shows you are very active around the internet. I would recommend changing your ID as your employer(s) could easily find you.

Why do people do this? I genuinely don't understand why you would google an MSE ID. What are you hoping to find? Is this a common thing, or just on MSE? Is it done as a matter of course for all users, or is there a "type" of poster that gets googled?


It has never occurred to me to google someone else's user name. (although that might change now :idea: )
