[quote=Anonymous]Wow.  So glad you weren't my reference.  We recently got re-orged and I got stuck reporting to a less than ideal supervisor.  As soon as I saw the org chart, I dusted off my resume and began applying elsewhere (this woman has a horrible reputation as a supervisor - micromanaging, doesn't handle stress well and comes completely unhinged at times.  How she still manages people- I don't know - but I didn't want my career to be derailed because of this.  ANYWAY, I had an interview and they subsequently checked my references and talked to my old boss.  I received a job offer and it was for a much etter position and a very good promotion (I am guessing based on his recommendation).  He never let on that they had contacted him until I let him know I had the job and that it had been a pleasure working with him (he was one of the first people I told).  He congratulated me and told me how things played out.  He had no desire to inform my current supervisor because she IS the type that would retaliate.  ANYWAY... if that person doesn't get that job and they are stuck there- you may have done them a big disservice.  [/quote]
