So I got this new job, but I'm a little nervous

I'm supposed to come in on Monday at 10, but he said they're going to check my references over the weekend. I'm actually pretty damn scared because I think I listed two references at jobs that I quit and I don't think I'm eligible for rehire at any of my previous jobs. I hope he was just bluffing lol. Imagine how awkward that'll be if I come in on Monday and he tells me to go home. He might have to catch these hands!  ::spin::

Technically an old employer can't give a bad reference so maybe you'll be ok.

I don't even get the reference stuff since they can't be completely honest.

 

I've heard that, but I also saw an old boss tell another employer that the girl that had applied was a thief and was always late.  Granted, this wasn't in the corporate world, this is when I was woking at a little poboy shop in between a gas station and pawn shop and she was trying to get a job at the clinic.......Maybe it doesn't matter when it's coming from a drunk Cajun.

If the person the old boss was referring to ever found out, they could be sued for slander or libel or some such shit, which is something I don't understand if what's being said is true.

I guess they can give a negative reference but it better be proven true

I'm pretty sure that they can disclose whether or not they'd re-hire.

That disclosure isn't the same as saying, "Joe Blow was a thief and a goofball on the job", there could be many reasons a company won't re-hire and not all of them reflect badly on the applicant.  That's not true in Zeni's case, he won't get re-hired cuz he's an irresponsible manchild >:D
