Bailey Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 what would you think is acceptable protocol for asking for a reference? Here's the deal everyone that can leave my hospital is doing so, and getting better salaries. So I decided to simply put myself out there, and I got an offer to travel with a very good compensation package. Now my problem comes in when I asked for references, my former third shift boss said she was willing to only say so much about me because she was no longer my supervisor. I didnt get it at first, but I do now, it would create friction if one supervisor gives a reference for another supervisor's employee. I was told to simply request my current supervisor do it. I don't know how I feel about that because truth be told they are going to be pissed Im even talking leaving because we're understaffed.

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Ask your supervisor? If he or she asks why...say it's Bc you're not making enough and ask for a raise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bu. Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Aren't they obligated to give you a reference if you ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Aren't they obligated to give you a reference if you ask? no one is obligated to do anything for anyone, esp if it doesn't serve their own best interests thanks for the responses I saw Angie on and hoped maybe she would chime in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
