sadie19 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I recently started a new job in a new Pre-School which i love :-). i found a couple of weeks ago my reference that is in my file from my old boss and its awful and all lies. My old boss was a bully and was really not a nice person. Lots of parents had left the setting during the time i was there due to her unprofessionalism and her rudeness to them. She would call parents in if there had a concern and tell them that there wrong. she treated children differently and one child she was horrible to because she did not like her mum. she use to discriminate against me because my writing is not great and spelling is not great. The reason im writing on here is because my new boss is absolutely lovely and cares about her staff and children :-) but she does not know i seen my reference but i really want to let her know i seen it and have been advised from an old collage that i should send it to the committee and asked for a true honest reference written by the chair of the committee as this one is full of lies and awful. i dont think i can be brothered to do that but i am really worried how it has reflected to my new boss.

narnia Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Leave it. Your new boss obviously liked what she saw in you and ignored the reference. Be glad that you are in a place you like, working for someone who likes you. ( and of course, you might have to explain exactly how you saw your reference, which I presume was meant to be confidential??) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 How awful for you.....how exactly did you come to see it? That would be important in any decision making on how to proceed....... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancaster Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 As your manager I'm afraid I would question what you were doing looking in the file?? I can understand that you feel very upset however, I agree with Sunnyday! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenfinch Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I am in agreement with above posts. I am more concerned with how you managed to see this reference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildflowers Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I think everyone has the right to read anything that is written about oneself, on request though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Your new boss obviously saw something in you at interview that she liked, so I'd focus on being the best I can be and forget the previous boss. There are some pretty horrible people around, best thing we can do is rise above it, karma will get them in the end :1b 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I agree your current boss obviously made their own desicion based on your interview and liked what they saw. Move on and enjoy working where you do now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
