I don't know about the USA, but in Canada it's not legal for an employer to badmouth a former employee to a possible future employer.

If negative comments are not allowed then references from previous employers are pointless.

I'm not sure if that is good or bad.

Please.

If your reference comes back as "we can confirm this person worked here from X to Y period" and nothing else, it's pretty obvious what is going on, even to the most dimwitted recruiter.

That is all my former employer will say except, I think, maybe salary. They actually outsource that job to another company.

If they were not happy with a former employee, they can say they would prefer not to comment. Which tells a potential employer all they need to know. So, it pretty much amounts to the same.

Yes, this.

I forgot the law is easily fooled by such tricks.

That reminds me of a joke.

A woman sues a man for defamation of haracter, charging that he called her a pig. The man is found guilty and made to pay damages. After the trial he asks the judge, "Does this mean that i can no longer call Ms. Harding a pig?"
The judge says, "That is correct."
"And does it mean that I can't call a pig Ms. Harding?"
"No," says the Judge, "you are free to call a pig Ms. Harding. There is no crime in that."
The man looks Ms. Harding in the eye and says, "Good afternoon, Ms. Harding."

Negative comments are pretty much an automatically-successful lawsuit in the USA.

I figured something like that must be in place, considering how litigious the USA is.

We aren't as litigious as conservative pundits would have you believe, and the vast majority of lawsuits are in fact launched by large corporations.

But still.

[Cainad (dec.)]

My uncle passed away Wednesday night.

Nothing much to say, really, but I figured I ought to follow up after dropping my problems in Open Bar a few days ago.

[EK WAFFLR]

Shit. Condolences, Cainad.

Sorry, man.
