Date: February 20th, 2026 2:52 PM Author: Sam Hyde I thought “job references” were a greatest gen thing that went out of fashion in the 90s (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5836739&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310074#49683257) |

Date: February 20th, 2026 3:16 PM Author: Sam Hyde Cr. They’re just looking for massive resume lies and/or past comp info, some F100 HR broad I used to fuck told me about this. And isn’t it a legal minefield to call someone at a candidate’s former employer and ask about all sorts of vague unmeasurable traits?

Date: February 20th, 2026 3:32 PM Author: Gay Grandpa Its obviously not a legal minefield. First. something illegal (i.e. actually factually untrue. Even a negative opinion is legal) would have to be said; then it would have to be proven over 50% likelihood (the civil liability standard- preponderance of evidence) that it actually was spoken. Where is your evidence? Non-consenting mp3 recording? The liability is way overexaggerated but there's anyway 0 upside to talking shit about a former employee- if anything, please hire this retard! He sucks but he is amazing and will make a valuable addition to your team! |

“Hi! I’m a recruiter at KikeCo and had a few questions about a candidate who formerly worked at YidPenis, Tyrone Washington. Did Tyrone eat a lot of fried chicken or watermelon around the office? Your prompt reply is much appreciated. Thank!” |

it's kinda fun making shit up to whatever HR stooge calls you about it |

Date: February 20th, 2026 4:14 PM Author: peeface receiving reference check calls are painful. no upside.
the questions they ask are dumb and gay. worst are government jobs where they want to you to write them term paper answers to 50 vague questions.
can understand people would dodge them.
