Yours sincerely Mr Last Boss Indeed, a shite reference only states that you did indeed work for them, and that's really it. If a potential employer sees that sort of reference, unlucky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I thought they couldn't do that?? Why would that be the case, though?Surely you've got a right to give whatever bloody refetence you want. I know it's normally the case of having to read between the lines though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 A lot of employers nowadays only actually bother to seek the bare bones, "who is he and when did he work for you" reference these days anyway. The character reference is dying a death and being substituted by a few facts passed between HR Departments 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A company with 130 employees and the guy who owns it also does HR. He's never available for HR, funnily enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 One of the biggest urban myths known to man.

Bairnardo Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 So much wrong with ith this pathetic moan. Can you get Baracus back to tell folk they shouldnt let the rain spoil their day? I always enjoyed those, and you quite simply dont have the charisma to pull it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, turns out he finished the game and played for Norway a few days later. And it was his other leg that finished his career.

invergowrie arab Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 This ad for some shite festival keeps popping up on my FB which is bad enough but it's the two c***s that are the focus of it. I despise them. I could pick out 50 reasons from a second' s glance as to why they are utter shitcunts. Just imagine being around them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Fads in nomenclature which are instantly going to date things. I think we can all agree that anyone in 2020 who bicapitalises the name of their business is living in the 1990s and an out of touch ArseHole. The latest fad seems to be capitalising the whole thing and removing the vowels, which I guess is meant to draw your eyes back to it to solve the "puzzle." TRNSMT festival obviously, but what's with the BRGR burger chain? Cnts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
