Wisconsin
I am currently in a situation where I am unsure of a lot of things. I was seeking employment at a clinic, they checked my references that I listed, did my drug screen and background check--everything came back fine. So I got hired officially a week or so ago, then yesterday I get a phone call from the employer saying they received additional info on a situation that happened at a past job, therefore, they cannot go through with hiring me. Now here is the part that I am going to explain and hope it's not confusing. I got terminated from a position at a clinic back in December. I then knew it would be hard to find another job after the termination. The physician that I did work under I was close to and trusted very much, said that I could put him/her down for a reference and they would say what they felt was necessary to be said because I was an excellent employee other than what happened with the incident that lead to my termination, so I put him/her down as a reference. I did then get hired at a smaller dental office doing clerical work, then after two weeks there the clinic that I applied to called and wanted to interview me so I went through with it, like I said before they checked references, background check, drug screen and following the whole process they hired me and I was to begin Mar 6. The dental office that I was working at had a dentist there who knew the physician I worked for and knew briefly what had happened, and the physician did tell me that this dentist did know, which was fine. The problem is this dentist after knowing that I was seeking employment elsewhere and was going to be leaving her office was angry towards me, but afterall this clinic position that I applied for I applied for before I even start at the dental office, but they contacted me after I was working at the dental office. So I was done at the dental office and ready to start this new job, then I find out this dentist somehow found out where I was going to be working and told them the exact situation that had happened when I was terminated elsewhere, not at her office. I dont feel this was right at all? After all, I put the physician down that knew everything that happened for a reference and he/she said what they thought was necessary when contacted by this clinic. So I feel this was the dentists way of getting back at me for leaving her office and going elsewhere. Is there anything that I can do about this 3rd party information being released? I never put the dentist down for a reference and she knew this was a difficult thing for me to deal with over the past month trying to find another job and so on. Please give me advice, it would be appreciated.What is the name of your state?
