The guy makes me feel uneasy, as we do not work together very well, partly because he does not put the effort into defining what he wants or following through, and partly because a part of the requests he has are vanity requests that do not add value to the business(my oppinion). He sometimes gets upset when he does not get what he wants, but hardly says anything about it besides staring me down. This no feedback culture also reflects in lack of transparency regarding the requests he has from my department. I fear he has a bad impression of my work because of this difficult interaction. Bottom line is, this no feedback and mistrust culture at the top makes me doubt I want to continue working with this company. In the role I have, I normally work directly with C leve...

Former manager giving bad reference [closed]

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0; up vote -1 down vote favorite About 3 years ago I worked for a large bank. It was a temp job for 6 months. I loved working there and want to go back. I have good friends there. Each time that an opportunity presented itself my former boss doesn't recommend me. I have great recommendations from everywhere else. I think she felt that me and this other guy from the team were too close and she probably felt like I spent more time with him. If that is the case she isn't completely wrong. But this doesn't characterise me and it won't be repeated... I work hard. I want to speak to her... but don't know what to say and how? Face to face or phone? The guy that I was friends with still works there. She isn't his boss now but I guess it concerns her. Please give me advice.
