Hi all,
I’m currently applying for a new role as my contract ends for my current job within a corporate company. I have had this job for 6 months but the project comes to an end at end of march. The application is asking for 2 references to cover my last 3 years of employment. I’m happy to provide my current line manager as one reference but my employer of 2 years before that was a complete narcissist, misogynistic POS. He didn’t believe me when i OD’d and had a tantrum when i gave him 4 weeks notice which is excessive as i wasn’t even on the books. My parents don’t know how much of a POS he was and are telling me to put him down as a reference but i don’t want this company to contact him at all let alone me having to google his address. I hate even talking about him. What would you guys do? just use 2 references from this company i’m currently employed at?
