When I got my first job out of university after a couple of months I accidentally (but without sorrow) reported them to HMRC. I’m pretty sure they suspect it was me. I left because they promised to put me on the payroll after a trial and then never did, I contacted HMRC to see what I should do about my tax, when I asked them if I should phone HMRC to ask about it they’d said “No! Don’t contact them!!” Which made me think the setup was super dodgy and I was uncomfortable there so I quit.
I never bothered applying for more jobs, felt paranoid that this company would talk to all the local employers and tell them I was a narc and not to hire me. Maybe that’s just paranoia or maybe they would do that, but hopefully even if they would they can’t know or be on good terms with everyone right?
It’s been 5 years since then and I’ve not had a job since (and I can hardly use that company as a reference). Did I ruin my chances for life?
