Does one have to return an ex-boss's call?

You should return the call and tell her not to call anymore since you do not work there.  Offer to be a consultant at $25/hour if they need to find anything with a minimum of 4 hour shifts.

well it's a good way to find out what the particular challenges of the new job are:  if there are any specific things the old employee can help the new one understand, or if there are any inside tips he or she could give to make the transition go more smoothly.  who better to ask than the person who was doing the job previously?\n\nps::: maybe you're asking why other people want to speak to the person who held your position before YOU did when they call on the phone?  probably because they don't know the old person has been replaced.

contact your employer or reword your question please.

I absolutely would call them back, if it is after the day they say they will call you.  Just say you hadn't heard from them and was wondering what the status was.

Actually in the US it isn't illegal to give a bad reference although most companies steer away from it due to fear of lawsuits.  I have worked for one company that will disclose all negative, as well as positive information they have in their HR file and staff that have sued as a result.  The former employees that I know that sued did not win their suit as both types of infomation was given and some other legalities I am not aware of.  Can you sue?  Absolutely.  Will you win is another question.  And what's the point of suing if you cannot win.  Usually HR departments will only state title, dates of employment and salary confirmation though.  I suggest calling your old boss and trying to find out what he has against you.  Perhaps all was not right when yu left or maybe he has a personal grudge.  If you did something that left him upset, apologise or explain your point of view.  Ask him if there is a problem in using him for a reference,  If there is, don't use him.  It sounds like you have other references at that same job that will be better anyway so you may not need him.  As for losing the other job, I guess you could explain any problems with your old boss and take responsibility for whatever is yours to take responsibility for but I honestly don't know if it would help much.  Keep looking.  There are other good jons out there and now that you know there is a problem you can rectify it.  Good luck!

start telling them same people that you was really convicted of murdering your former boss because he was telling people your buisness and the "officials" had to cover it up so you could get this new job. the word will get back to your current boss and freak him out when he is alone at night.

Put down, YES! If you don't that is an automatic RED FLAG!!\nLabor laws restrict what an employer can day about you. Otherwise they can be sued. Most employers will only give out dates of hire and when you left the company. They can also give out salary info. The one question they can answer that can hurt sometimesis, Would you hire this person back. If they say, No, then they take that as a sign you may have been fired. You can always say that it's your understanding that the company does not rehire ex-employees

you need to make one correction. "A follow-up sales call would be APPRECIATED". Omit "in most cases".

Why would you do that?... If your new potential employer finds out, you might have difficualties. Make sure you have a good justification for it. You migh want to write a letter to your former company where you explain what you did and why, and have it signed of reception or something, that might protect you if this whole incident hinders you in the future.\n\nBest case scenario, they won't find out.

If the first call was unanswered, that should be your clue...\n\n\nIf i were you, i would check with the better business bureau\n\n\nsee the site below.........

Absolutely. Once you tell them to never call you at work, it is a violation of the law for them to do so again.  If they do, call your local attorney general's office and report them.

You may have received a call FOR a deposition\nYou may have even GIVEN a deposition\nBut it is highly unlikely that you RECEIVED a deposition\n\nIf you have received a call to give a deposition\nthe only reason you would really need to be speaking to a lawyer is if you feel that there is some way that YOU could be implicated in your ex's dealings or the business behavior that has brought on this need for depositions and the like  !!!

Well to start off, congratulations for being totally upfront and honest with your former employer about leaving the company.  Even though it seems you were punished for this, it was totally the right thing to do; you have nothing to be ashamed of or anything to feel that you should hide, which you would have had if you had been sneaky or deceitful.  So, that is something a new employer should definitely take into consideration.\nIf I were in your spot, I would be up front and honest about the situation without tearing apart the former boss or company.  I quit my job back inJanuary due to physical and emotional stress, and am just now trying to find a job.  It's taken me that long to get over the damage done to my heart.  I have asked prospective employers to not speak with my former employer, and I tell them the truth:  that it was a very hostile environment and that I am not comfortable with anyone at that company knowing what is going on in my life.  I have, however, given references of people who worked there when I did that are no longer there that I am okay with.  The two places I have been interviewed this week were very understanding.  Mostly, they appreciated my honesty.  But, I was also careful to not tear apart anybody, either.  I think that helped.\nIf you let them know your version of what happened while being respectful of the people involved and they call your old boss who lets her mouth run off about what a louse you are and drags your reputation through the mud and they choose to listen to her, it's probably not the place for you to be anyway.  Chances are they will compare your respectfulness to her disrespect and you'll win out anyway.  In any case, you'll be able to look at yourself in the mirror the next day, knowing you have done the right thing, no matter the outcome. \nBest wishes!

They wouldn't take you serious if you left, and told them,  they would think you were just mad ex-employee. go to the Boss, in strictest of sincerety and confidence and state your observations, let him decide. Then, if you don't like the way they handle it, then leave and report it to higher authority until it is resolved. Never watch an injustice, at least try to make it better.

Did you sign a contract or work agreement - that would be the first place to look.  If not, check company handbook, or go to personnel/H.R. Department.  Most companies only require 2 weeks; for upper management it may be as much as four, but it would have to be stated which jobs fall in that category.\n\nAnother route to try is to work out an arrangement your new and ex boss about training schedule; perhaps you can start your new job and still be available to train replacement at your old job - ex should be amenable because you will be in easy access, and your new boss should like it because they could get you right away.

I THINK THAT ANSWER IS ABIT HARSH SWEETS.\n\nHow do we know if this man has lost contact purely because the ex has moved away and not told him where they are..\n\nThat does happen, and its no joke.\n\nI think you're going to have to seak real legal advice for the answer on this one, try the Citizens Advice Bureau first. As you may be entitled to free legal aid.\n\nwww.citizensadvice.org.uk \n\n\nAnd do your self a favour and ignore the sarcastic comments off some.\n\nGood Luck
