been applying to a lot of jobs, in my career field and otherwise, and a lot of them are asking if they can contact my previous supervisors. they cannot, because i do not have any way to contact them myself LOL but is this really normal?? who is actually calling those people? is this affecting hiring decisions??
yeah, they want to know whether you suck. the expectation is that most people will be kind and support you, and you will likewise pay it back when you have people under you.
Yeah basically “do you suck so much people will abandon courtesy?”
do you… keep your supervisor’s numbers after you leave a place?
last place i worked, i never even met the lady
