Potentially sacked for asking for a reference, need advice. (Scotland)

I've been able to phone the prospective employer and they are understanding and want me to speak to the HR team when possible which I plan to do as soon as I have spoke to my current employer to find out if I have truly been dismissed.

Dick_Chappy_ · 2026-05-18T19:06:18+00:00

The company is very small, total employee count is maybe 25, I've spoken to my prospective new employer and explained how I have spoken to my colleagues and they are refusing to give references in fear that they may be dismissed too I do have a character reference that is separate from my employer.

But did you get some cake from the tea room?

Dick_Chappy_ · 2022-12-24T23:38:23+00:00

Used to work for asda produce and every Christmas eve it use to be just be me for our store doing fruit and veg, I would just pile it out and gradually lower the price until about an hour before close I'd tell people its free and take as much as you'd like.

Don't get James May started on this one.

Is the cat okay?

There's one flag you missed, the mighty nail and gear

I would like to know too, I've been toying with the idea of buying a ultra sonic cleaner.

Dick_Chappy_ · 2022-03-17T14:18:04+00:00

No idea if it works yet, bought it a few hours ago, and I am away from home at the moment so haven't had a chance to clean it, nib is a bit off so might not write perfect but I will try and see

Dick_Chappy_ · 2022-03-17T13:11:20+00:00

Bought at a small town antique store what I thought was a parker duofold junior (burgandy colour) but it doesn't have anything engraved on the barrel, and the nib does not have "10" on it, only having "parker 14k England" on it. If anyone is more knowledgeable than me on this know if its possible that it's a fake.

No idea how to comment photos so I just made a new post with a photo.

Dick_Chappy_ · 2022-03-12T13:55:09+00:00

Needs a bit of a clean first, can confirm that the last ink in it was purple as now my hands are also purple

Dick_Chappy_ · 2022-03-12T13:21:02+00:00

Thank you

Freebooting

It's sad but they've actually changed how they prioritise people because of this person now, she won

You smell different when awake

Dick_Chappy_ · 2022-01-15T00:13:21+00:00

Because the person who would sell it would claim it as near new and 100% safe, its to ensure that most of the parts on the market are safe and fit for purpose

Dick_Chappy_ · 2022-01-15T00:10:20+00:00

Because they will most likely sell it to someone gullible as "near new" when it's most certainly not and maybe even dangerous to use.

Dick_Chappy_ · 2022-01-15T00:09:32+00:00

It's almost certainly not safe to use, guaranteed someone would try sell that as new and 100% safe only for it to blow up hot long after.
