Stabbed in the back - I want to kill somebody!!!!

[BIG H]

...Shit, that sucks man. So your "ex-mate" already has a job and decided to try and weasel this one from you?

Exactly!! Even though he knows I am unemployed and have bills to pay and a pregnant wife etc. It's the lowest of the low really!!

[marbleheadmaui]

I presume you have forever crossed this douchebag off your list of friends? That is inexcusable behavior.

[mattboxingfan]

Thats terrible one man especially considering you have a little one on the way. He deserves a good beating! Were does he live..

[Master]

Do not worry, you have put him down as your reference so they should have know not to have you interviewing at the same time. Hope you get the job and you will need a good reference. Stay cool Big H.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

if I was an employer that would set alarm bells for me if one person had put another down as a reference then applied. I would ask them about it but thats just me.

how about this IF he gets the job THEN have him rubbed out. Eliminate the competition. That would leave you +1 on the sub bench.

...Damn that is REALLY low. It would be one thing if he was unemployed too, but wow...If I was you I wouldn't piss on that dude if he was on fire, what a sleaze!

[Memphis]

I hope you get it mate then you can put all this behind you. You'll be minus one mate but he's clearly a cunt so no loss.

If he gets it I think he needs to fall down some stairs or sumink.

[CFH]

What did he say when you saw him?

[BIG H]

What did he say when you saw him?

Completed ignored me and just said "Hello David" to the interviewer who was showing me out

[AdamGB]

What a cunt!

At least you saw him after the interview... I can't think that your mind would have been were it needed to be if you'd seen the tosser before hand!

You know up until this point, I was trying to do the devil's advocate thing of trying to justify his actions by maybe saying he'd got wind that he was about to be made redundant or that he was there to try & give you a great reference in person. In the words of Norman Stone, 'what a piece of shit he turned out to be'. Don't do anything violent, the fact that he was your referee & applied will likely have set alarm bells ringing already. Then once you know whether you've got the job or not, go slash his tyres & smear shit on his windscreen.

What will be all the sweeter will be if you get the job ahead of your old boss. That would be incredible.

Also if you don't get the job, I'm fairly sure that on a employers reference they are not allowed to bad mouth you, only refuse to comment. If he has deliberately sabotaged your interview and chances, I'm pretty sure that legally you might actually have a case against him. I'm not sure, but I'm sure I've read a comparable story somewhere that resulted in a loss of earnings payout.

Nah, not quite ......... in the US and UK an employer is allowed to bad mouth you - but only if what they say is proveable and factually correct. For example, if you had a record that showed you were late for work 4 days out of 5 they could say your timekeeping was poor. If you had a series of complaints about you recorded on your file, they could say you were a poor teamplayer.


They could say none of those things (even if they were true) if they did not have the empirical facts and evidence to back up the statement.

[0james0]

Oh and shit under car door handles is far better than on windscreen!

Less chance it will get seen and more chance they will get it stuck right under their nails on the way to work in the morning.

There was once a father who had a wild horse.His son thought to tame it and went out into the yard on his own,the horse threw him broke his arm and jumped the fence and escaped.

Everyone was sad except the father who said oh well we'll see what comes.

The local warlord soon came through the village and took to war each oldest son and the best horse from each house. He left this family, he wanted no man with a broken arm.
They lost the war and most of the men. The Fathers horse returned when the natural feed was down with a pregnant mare and his sons arm mended.

When a door closes another opens, dont miss the one thats opening by concentrating on the closed one for too long.
