Re: Bad reference

Scott is exactly right. I went through a scenario where I was tempted to sue a company for firing me under false pretenses, but a friend of mine who works as an HR director said take the unemployment and move on. I hated the job, hated the people, hated the manager (LOVED the work!) and ultimately all most companies will do in today's litigious society will verify employment dates, to prevrent such lawsuits.
if the allegations are indeed false and can be proven to be so in a court of law, and you think it is worth the years of effort and money to pursue action, then proceed.
I would fall on the side of those who say chock it up as one bad ding we all have to take every 6 months or so and move on. if you're a righteous candidate, the right opportunity will come to you. 

GOOD LUCK!!

What surprises me here is while I'll give names of friends for personal
references, I know of no company I've ever worked for that will do anything
other than verify dates of employment on a reference check.  Most companies
avoid saying anything else just to avoid problems.  They having nothing to
gain and everything to lose by saying more.
