Can employers say negative things about their former employees?
I know here, you cannot give someone a bad reference. You can refuse to give a reference (and that can say a lot right there), but you can't actually say anything bad about a person. Many companies here actually have policies where managers/supervisors cannot give references because there have been cases of supervisors/managers giving bad references.
I'm just curious.

Oh, you're legally allowed to give a bad reference, but you have to be ready to be sued for libel. Many people in HR know what to write to get the point across, though.
