In response to "Huh. Checking on a reference for a potential new-hire this morning." by Strongbad

it happens, and is not necessarily a reflection on the employee.

of course, they're not going to say anything bad specifically about him anyway, but it begs the question of why they were given as a reference in the first place.

I was expecting something like - Strongbad Jul 29, 06:08 2
- this is one reason why I'm sitting at home this morning. - loosilu Jul 29, 06:13 1
  - I don't see it as a negative, and it's ultimately not my decision. It just wasn't what I expected to hear. - Strongbad Jul 29, 06:16
ahem. My last client is happy to provide a positive reference for me, even though I was not a good fit for that specific job. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 06:06 3
- I'm just saying it's a poor choice of a reference to give if you're not sure it'll be a positive one... -- nm - znufrii Jul 29, 06:16 2
  - I guess it depends what else they said. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 06:17 1
    - true enough. -- nm - znufrii Jul 29, 06:19
