Ensure HR are in charge of providing a reference, not inexperienced team leaders - Recensione dipendente - Account Manager presso The Delivery Group

Clicky environment No proper training plan Unprofessional - my line manager decided to write my reference when I left to work in a dream job in the music industry - she was acting really happy for me and understood it was my dream job, there were no problems when working my notice. Just before I'm due to start, the manager of the music place said they had to withdraw their offer due to a negative reference from my old line manager. Despite not saying a bad word about me when I was there, there were false accusations of me being dishonest and not hard working. I couldn't believe it! I spoke to HR who said the line manager should never have been writing references! So they said they would write a new, positive reference. Which they did, except the new dream company said they were still withdrawing their application despite having a new positive reference. So, I missed out on my dream job because an old line manager left these negative, unfounded accusations, which had never been communicated to me when I worked for the organisation. Thanks a lot! AVOID!
