I know of a manager who gave an honest (and disparaging) appraisal of a former employee, who then sued. The firm defended the lawsuit (on the grounds that the manager had been truthful) and won, but fired the manager for indiscretion after the victory. It's sad times when company policy requires one to lie. We know what job recommendations from big companies are worth, anyhow.

That does not mean one has to lie. Similar things have happened elsewhere. The result is companies will usually say no more about a person than that they were employed between certain dates in a certain post. If you want to find out anything real about someone you have to talk to ex-colleagues in a reliable off the record manner - phones are recorded too easily to fit this requirement. Regards, Steve
