What is the name of your state? TN
I resigned from my job about six months ago and I continue to receive false/inaccurate reference from my previous employer. I have copies of my employee evaluations which all have good ratings on them. I had around twenty interviews with very large advertising companies while I was still employed at my previous employer. I called and sent emails to these advertising companies to do follow-ups but they never responded back. After I resigned I applied to a university only to learn that he gave me a false reference and cost me a $25,000 yearly income increase. The person hiring at the university implied that I was going to be hired but because of the bad reference it cost me the job.
I believe that during the entire 4 years I was employed there he was continually giving me a bad reference just to keep me there! I say this because he went through over 20 employees during those years and kept his company small to avoid following state and federal laws. My question is how can I get a job with him continually doing this! I have applied to janitor positions and I can't get a job! I have never had any problems with any of my previous employers until this butthole! So, is there any legal ground for me to stand on? I have been to a lawyer but he told me unless the employer called me a drug addict, dope head, etc I couldn't do anything!!
