Hi folks, this is my Simonlfc moment, in which I display my total ignorance of the said subject (Simon, feel free to offer advice): I've just got a new job after a couple of years of temping; the problem is the agency I originally worked through is now refusing to say that I worked for them. Here's the story: I worked permanently for the organisation only for a few months after leaving the shit agency that originally recruited me for them, after the agency kept fucking up my wages.(let's call the agency 'C***TA liars'.com); I joined another agency for a couple of weeks (who are great) but then took a 4 week sabbatical - basically living off my savings until my girlfriend got sick of me being at home improving my xbox skills. The organisation, my last employers, have timesheets prooving I worked for them via/ and they were paying the C***TA liars; but the new employers are quite rightly concerned they don't have the references. If the lying piece of shit agency refuse to give a reference and I lose the job - do you reckon I have recourse to anything? ps - I've no bad marks etc against me and a clear CRB etc Please excuse my English - I just got in and found this email. sorry folks this makes little sense to me as well
