This is following on from another thread I did where I asked for advice on how to prevent prospective employers asking last employers for a reference. Namely because I was threatened there three times once by my line manager after she was sent an email I had written to the Well-being lady. She basically took me to a room and told me that she will deal with things differently outside work.
It was the most horrendous place and in the end I was too frightened to go back. The Hr team are beyond corrupt and gleefully shout across the office how they prevent people getting their future jobs elsewhere.
So today I had an interview and I think it went really well. I'm actually quietly confident I will be in with a great chance of getting the job.
They asked me why I left my old position and I said it was a temp job with no training or future prospects. The thing is it was temporary to me when I saw the way they sack people Willy nilly and pretend to give people jobs but use failed your probation as a way to not have to pay pensions etc.
The truth is I was terminated as I could not get a doctors appointment by the deadline they gave me and because I wanted to document absences via email, namely because the phone was never answered and because I was frightened and did not trust anyone there.
Do you think I gave blown it now if I do get the job? They seemed such nice, normal people, I just blurted out the lie.
I also do not want the old place knowing anything about where I go to be honest as they spread peoples info around and there is no confidentiality whatsoever.
