[quote=Anonymous]You are missing the point of a reference or a recommendation. Its not a contractual guarantee and its intent is to be current not cumulative. Evaluations in the workplace are not letters of recommendation. In outside industries evaluations are not letters of reference or recommendation. I doubt employers would accept this weird requirement. If its contracualy required, it isn't sincere.

As someone hiring a nanny, I would see a nanny producing past contractually guaranteed letters of reference and no current reference as a big no. It will not convey to future to employers that you are a great nanny and your previous MB was just nuts. Its more likely to convey that you are used to being fired and you are manipulative or high maintenance. While this may not be true and you may have had a nutso MB, it just isn't going to read that way. The nanny with the great current sincere honest reference will get the job not the one with a falsely manufactured string of past letters.

The best way to protect yourself is to be a smart employee not a crazy one with weird demands. Self awareness as to whether you are actually providing value and maintaining a positive relationship with your employer is something smart employees do. MBs don't just turn nutso. If you find yourself working for someone who is nutso do not stick around for a long period of time. Smart employees save money and have a cushion so that when they are job seaching they have time to find the right fit. The right fit is as important as your salary. Its your responsibilty to negotiate for what you want before you take the job. Its also your responsibility to do the job once you accept it. [/quote]
