scottsdad Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 4 minutes ago, Sergeant Wilson said: That means you need to deal with 2 emails. Just completing the reference is half the hassle. It's the prospective employer who is asking and most want a checkable history. It's just common courtesy to ask if it is OK to put someone as a reference before doing so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it's commonsense to expect that type of enquiry in your role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A student who still thinks enough of you to put you down as a reference and this is how you treat him/her? Take a hundred lines and stand in the corner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get plenty, and 9 out of 10 times a student will ask if it is OK first. Like I said, just common courtesy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, just common courtesy. It sounds a bit needy on your part. If I managed staff I retain a responsibility to them and prospective new employers. You're educating them, for the most part, to advance careers. I don't get why you think otherwise. The "contract" you have should be clearly understood. ie you took the money to observe and report on them. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any cable… how can they tie themselves in knots when, last time you used them, you hadn’t left them anywhere near being in knots.

Bad games, that. I don't see how I am being a p***k about it. Just expressing annoyance that I didn't get a heads up - something I see as common courtesy. Most people would check that it is OK to put someone down as a reference. When I went for promotion I needed to put 2 references. I got in touch with my guys and asked if it was OK. It would never occur to me to stick their names down without saying anything. Anyway, I did the reference for this chap. The form was simple so I just got it done. Sometimes these forms ask for a lot of detail that seems irrelevant but not here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because someone is trying to better themselves and trusts you enough to give a decent account for them. You instead see this as your opportunity to think "I deserve prior notice of this". Glad that you done the right thing in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
