i gave my current employer my 2 weeks notice today and they let me go

If this company continues to do this you have a right to take legal action. I entered trucking coming from 26 years in management. On one occassion an assistant manager of mine was contacted by a company for a former employee's reference. She did not like this person and painted this person in a VERY negative light. This person was informed of the bad reference and our company's legal department was contacted. The only thing a past employer is allowed to state (or should state) is length of employment and salary. They can of course add positive comments that will not have any negative impact. In our case it was an example of one girl not liking the other girl that worked for her in the past. Now, mind you this was in the food industry. How some of these companies get away with the negative, sometimes unfounded DAC reports I'll never understand?????

 

Best to give 2 weeks notice, and be prepared with enough cash to get home !!!

 

"Someone" needs to put a "cap" on these older posts.

 

Somebody gave jt the secret code to the archives...soon you will see a thread about trucking pre WWII!
This is the third or fourth thread over or about 3 years of age!

 

I want that secret code! I want to read about Texasnana's schooling and training.
Her posts are hilarious and imformative, I can only imagine what they were then.

Sorry to keep the old thread going. lol

 

I didn't think they could....

 

I will find an older thread that is actually about trucking and address it just because it needs to be brought up for discussion again. Like the farmer asking about his throwout bearing. I know it is old but how many threads can a person read about someone who is shooting liquid plumber in their veins getting tossed out of a school?

Sometimes we need to get back to a topic rather than someones rant.

 

If the company wants you gone you will not hear about it until you have your walking papers. What good is giving them any notice?
