people are paying for their past mistakes..they follow them everywhere they
go..even if they take the company name off of their resume….let’s say
someone was being teased, for whatever the reason from their previous job.
when potential employers get hold of that history…it somehow finds its
way to current employees phones and than that person is humiliated…people
look at the person with that look of judgement, based on what theyve
learned from that persons past and then stigmatize them.
it is a rapidly sad and growing trend in the work force. The person may
even feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. or corolate those experiences with
their past coming back to haunt haunt them, but because it is done in such
a cruel and deceptive way, they can’t prove it. And if you cant prove it
nothing is hapoening. Its all in your mind (i.e. you crazy!).
There is nothing the person can do about it, but suffer in silence..In some
cases, they leave one job to find another and the same thing just keep
happening over again. No one bails them out. people just watch, judge and
tease. And you can see there are many who actually are enjoying what what’s
happening to the poor Individual.
People are very cruel these days. professionalism is an illusion to a major
degree. People love gossip these days. Or anything negative for good
entertainment. I’ve heard stories and know people who have gone through
things you wouldn’t imagine.
Had their reputations utterly destroyed to the point no matter where they
would look for work, if they got an opportunity, they would get hired and
re-live their past mistakes as if they never left their old job. The way
people deal with each other today, is so F#cked up, it cannot even be put
into words.
And all of these situations occur after background checks..mobile phones
are like the new form of weapons. load up the face book,twitter,linked
in,or various other social media clips and assassinate someone’s character
without remorse or concern..
it’s unfortunate that it often happens to good people or good looking
people with potential. And These things usually happens after a background
check. It’s an unfair world some may even say it’s life. But one thing is
for sure..People are very,very cruel..now more than ever..

+Eric Mills I would suggest that if a former employee is harassed post-employment, they or a friend who is or presents themselves as an attorney contact the president of the former firm and state that if the bullying isn’t stopped the firm will be sued. That when it comes times for references to be given, the attorney tells them that the former manager or the President themselves gives the glowing reference as part of the gentlemen’s agreement. The harassment will stop when the names of the harassers are turned over, No demand that they be fired unless they misbehave again.

These people are like deers in headlights, they don’t know their rights. And what they are experiencing is so far out of control, it leaves them helpless. people share information on their phones and that opens another can of worms..the person left the job from being bullied but doesn’t have a clue whose doing the bullying. it’s not a direct in your face attack, it’s cleverly done In directly.

Eric Mills A ceise and desist letter from an attorney can straighten out any bad reference.
