I don't know if the company has a policy about reference checks, but many do, and they state that only certain information (such as position held and dates employed) can be given out. You may want to look into that...you might not even have a problem. Or it's possible that policy states all reference checks must go through HR, in which case they won't talk to Mean Boss either.

Thanks. That made me feel better. My main concern was mean boss somehow becoming involved in the reference process.
My company, unfortunately, does not have a policy on reference checks. A few of the companies I've worked for in the past do have that policy (where they'll only give out the employment dates) but this one doesn't. I may also just include the HR department's phone number on my application because I have a feeling they'll be a little bit more professional about my employment info then mean boss!
