The whole process of having to get a positive reference to change employer, really seems quite backward, almost evoking a slave-owning system.
I understand that it can be useful input to a hiring decision, but there are surely better ways to obtain that validation.
- metters 5y agoMaking it a requirement for being hired is plain dumb. Even if the employee was doing a great job and getting along with everyone, the employer could be pissed that the employee wants to quit and deny that request… Addition: It is similar to making it a requirement to own a university degree for a senior dev position. There are enough devs out there with many years of experience.
