Backstory TLDR: My previous workplace put us all up to a Scientology training. I declined to attend. I was fired two days later. I am aware this is illegal and have already spoken to a lawyer blah blah blah, that aspect of this is mostly irrelevant to my primary question.
My question is what would be the appropriate way to put this work experience on a resume without them contacting the workplace? My direct supervisor has/had my back and offered to be my reference as did a couple of my coworkers. I don't want to just put “yeah I got fired for speaking up about religious discrimination” because I don't want to look like a shit stirrer. I feel that if I put the workplace on my resume they'll likely want to call them for a reference, but would they want to just call my references from there directly?
thanks for your input.
*edit to add: To clarify I'm aware that if they do contact my previous employer directly, they're not supposed to say much more than employment date and rehire but I doubt I'd be eligible for rehire because I told the owner “no, I will not be going to Scientology training, and yes it is Scientology training” and got fired two days later xD
