Doesn't matter - can be searchable by email, nickname or mobile phone.
It's not hard to find people if you really want.

I said to here to just speak to a manager that you get along well with from a different department and point out the sensitivity of the the call to your prospective new HR officer, does this sound like the right advice?
That's very 1990's.
I wouldn't tell my current workplace if I was leaving and reference checks aren't worth the paper they're not written on.
Given there is linked in and social media you can soon find out more about a person than any reference check normally can provide.
If they do ask for one, is there a school teacher she can call upon, or has she volunteered at a club canteen/bbq (anything!) where she's 'worked' that can provide her with a reference check? If the the company really wants one, I'd just say that I'd prefer to keep the application process quiet from her current employer due to company sensitivities.
Nail hit on head.

A check of the Advertiser will show that whenever there is a dickhead, be it a hoon, anti vaxxer, low life child molester, domestic violence perpetrator or &%$##@ supporter they invariably have a facebook image.

Does anyone know of any holiday rental places in Goolwa?
Looking at first week in January, for 12 people. The place we have been too for 15 years has been sold, and cant find anything suitable thru all the real estate agents and Stayz, etc.
Getting desperate now

Her manager found out last Thursday and demoted her from 2IC and from managing over the weekends like she has done for the past 18 months.
How did they find out?Posted: Tue May 31, 2022 12:49 pmAs disappointing as that might be for her, that's a great life lesson she has learnt at 19. Some employers, not all and particularly some mangers will make life hard for you if you are leaving.Jimmy_041 wrote:Lightning McQueen wrote:Lightning McQueen wrote:Miss 19 Y.O daughter messages me in a tither, she has applied for a new job and has had two interviews and got an email today requesting a number of a recent employment referee.

I just had a conversation with a young grad at my as he is applying for another job and explaining to him that although I have no issue with this, his manger is not going to take this well. And I have encouraged him to embrace the fall out.
In fairness, his manager is a fickwhitt so this is all expected.

It's a pity she didn't work in hospitality where most managers are happy to help staff go elsewhere as they know how shit hospitality is themselves!

Yeah, I'm hearing ya, the eldest daughter has been an event manager previously and they get the raw end of the stick for sure, always a big turnover with staff at many of them too. The Reepham always seems to be a stepping stone for many young ones who move on to bigger and better things, they have an absolute gem working there atm most busy times.
