You were, without a doubt, the worst manager I have ever worked for, which led to my hunt for better jobs. I got an interview for a great job. I nailed the interview, then they asked for my references. Basically, I was told I had the job if they got good remarks from my references. One of the references had to be from this job (working for you) because it was related to this new position but I wasn’t gonna use a psycho asshole like you for one of my references, so I used the other manager who treated people with respect.
Unfortunately, he didn’t want to give out his home/cell # so I had to use the # from work. All of my references were reliable people I trusted, but for some strange reason I didn’t get the job. I asked them why, and they said based on one of my references, I’m not an ideal worker. So I asked them who they were talking to. TURNS OUT IT WAS YOU! They called last Wednesday afternoon and the manager (who was SUPPOSED to be my reference) was working, but so were you! You took it upon yourself to not pass the phone to the other manager and told this would-be employer I was not reliable and one of the worst employees you’ve ever had. Total fucking bullshit! On top of that, you’ve cut my hours like fucking crazy. I’m working 5 hours a week! What the fuck is wrong with you! You’ve completely screwed me over, and I didn’t do anything to you! And a fuck you to the other employer: all of my other references were great, so why didn’t it occur to you that this fucker was full of shit?! I’m royally fucked now… I hate people! —Hope You Get Fired

Good bitch. 7.5/10 on the bitch scale. Good vitriol. Good angst. Good frustration.
Fuck ’em all! Yeah!
Why didn’t you say your current employer was not aware you were looking elsewhere for employment and that you would not like to risk jeopardizing your current position. Isn’t that an acceptable thing to do these days?
I’m uncomfortable with n00bs (re: Deeker) rating bitches.
You’re too young on here, my friend. Back. the. fuck. off. until you earn your stripes.
Anyway… that really sucks, OP. Same thing happened to a friend of mine, except the employer asked the last reference, which was a good one, why that one ref was a bad one and the last reference said the bad reference was a pile of shit.
References are so tricky because you can work your ass off for someone, get great performance reviews and they can still fuck you over.
gaybaby: it *is* and if this potential new employer doesn’t like this they can take their job and shove it.
I’ve turned down jobs before (great ones) because I was uncomfortable with their hiring practices.
Oh thanks for the belly laugh. That was good. Is there a LTWWB certification authority or accreditation body? Too much. Good one. So pathetically funny.
So serious. I’m not qualified? You sound like the manager bitches who can’t cope with the “stresses” of hiring people.
Fact is it is a good bitch. Not a fake troll bitch.
I’ll say what I want and you can fuck off. Ha. Neener, neener, neener. (just to help you get it)
Oh hay guys, another newbie who takes the internet too seriously! Yay! Just what we need around here!
You’re gonna be FUN, I can tell, Deeker 😉
I think you got that backwards dipshit. I’m toying with you.
If you think I need to earn stripes somehow to say what I want on here, then you are in fact the one taking things a tad too seriously. That was the entire point of my previous reply.
I guess you didn’t get it. Not very smart are you?
Accreditation body? You thought that was serious? That makes it that much funnier. Holy fuck that is quite funny actually. I guess stupidity can be entertaining.
😛
P.S. Pretty transparent back-pedal attempt. To bad you can’t edit your post huh? I’m still laughing.
No I didn’t think you were serious you fucking dolt. I was mocking you on the fact that you got all pissy and felt it necessary to justify your existance over my (tongue and cheek) comments (and you say *I* can’t pick up on shit? lolz).
It’s called being facetious. You should get a dictionary and look that concept up before you fly off the handle. Because that’s exactly what you did.
Light up, dude. You won’t last long around here without your head exploding if you get all worked up that easily. 😉
“P.S. Pretty transparent back-pedal attempt. To bad you can’t edit your post huh?”
AHAHA. I wasn’t backpeddling at all, and I would have no desire to edit my post even if I could.
The fact is, if you can’t take even a little bit of poking fun without getting your panties in a bunch, you’re going to have a rough time around here because I’m pretty sure right now you’re all worked up (from the sounds of it — the aggressing is just oozing out of your posts in this thread!).
Seriously though, keep it up. Things have been kind of quiet around here since the last troll was around and it’s always nice to spice things up every once and a while. 🙂
herp dee derp derp dee derp
I’m a deeker derp…
BLAH!

What the fuck ever, freak. Keep trying your best to look cool for your special friends here.
“I was mocking you on the fact that you got all pissy and felt it necessary to justify your existance over my (tongue and cheek) comments (and you say *I* can’t pick up on shit? lolz). “
My first post in this thread did not address you at all. Yet somehow I was trying to justify my existence to you? You had not even posted in the thread. Note the first post. You make no sense.
You still look stupid. It is still funny. But it entertains me no longer. I know you will just keep posting on the subject until you convince yourself of something, I’m not quite sure what you are trying to achieve, but it is fucked up and definitely stupid.
So have fun double-dummy-dipshit! 😀
heh, I’m gonna have FUN with you, deeker 😉
The densest ones are always the most fun. Take a look at More-on! heh.
Attn all: PK’s taking bets on a) how long the newest troll’s gonna stick around and b) how long it’s gonna take until his head pops off. I’m going with 9 days and one week respectively. 😀

Deeker seems like a troll, but PK you totally a) fed the troll and b) came off like a pretentious bitch. Since when do you have to be a regular to comment on bitches? Jussayin, you can call it facetious but its hard to hear that in your voice when you’re typing.
I just realized how contradictory my last post was….a link to an image of a peace dove in hopes that peeps will chill, posted by a guy with Dirty Harry and his .44 magnum as his avatar. lol
Derrr
Kudos to longwalker! +10 rep
I’m upping my rating to 8/10 for use of the phrase “royally fucked”. Pretty good bitch overall. I bet it felt good Hope You Get Fired.
But for 5 hours a week at the current job, HYGF? Just walk. Be sure to tell this person off well in person on the way out too. If you have been there less than two years just leave them off the resume. Any number of excuses for the unexplained period of unemployment will do. Go with something that will draw sympathy. Sick relative or something.
longwalker — I was just making a joke — that’s all it was. Playful teasing and deeker took it the wrong way and flew off the handle. When I attempted to explain that it wasn’t meant to be taken seriously, he flew off the handle even more.
If you can’t take a little ribbing and have such a strong reaction such as he did, then you really aren’t going to have an easy time around here.
Would a smiley’ve helped? Sheesh!
But, say what you will about me. I don’t intend to get bent out of shape over it. If I did (like our new friend deeker) my head would’ve exploded a LONG time ago! 😉
LAWLS
it doesn’t matter avasto, the sandbox is large^^
“To bad you can’t edit your post huh?”
It’s supposed to be spelled “too”.
Poignant.
you have to be careful o.p., of how you diss a former boss. they have a way of finding out things that you say, rats come to mind. but also, you can’t be blabbing all over facecrackbook either.
you would be surprised by what you read and how easy it is to get info on someone. bide your time, and your lips too, keep off the social media while looking for another job.
if im not mistaken…. if the manager made libelous claims about your character/work ethic you have a legal basis to sue him and the company you currently work for, for damages. Since you are only working 5 hours a week it might be something to consider. If they were really slandering you.
The reason so many companies dont give out “professional” references is because they can and have been legally held responsible for things that have been said. prolly worth checking out.
They call him the Deeker
He’s been searching low and hiiigh
I worked for an employer who didn’t give references. This tells me that somewhere, a lawsuit was successful over references. If the job you would have gotten paid well, call an employment lawyer.
I put my bet on Deeker sticking around, and I’ll place the odds bet on a Deeker/PK hookup.
your employer can not give you a bad reference!! I’d call the labour board
They don’t have to give a good one if the employee sucks ass.
OP, do you have proof that he dissed you to the other company? Is the other company willing to go on record of what was said? Likely not. You weren’t hired. Suck it up and try again elsewhere.
just be better at your job !
Doesn’t this strike anyone else as most likely a self-serving bitch? Why did the “good” manager hesitate to give out his personal number for one job reference? Would you like to have OP as a co-worker, especially given what he just wrote about his potential new employer?
