[BC] Re: Blacklisting in Broadcast Engineering

[Mike McCarthy]

Any employer  who releases the kind of information suggested here could 
face litigation if there is a dispute over the circumstances of the 
termination.  Every supervising manager to a person who I hold in high 
regard never openly discusses departure scenarios unless there is no chance 
the discussion results in a grey area legally.  It's up to hiring manager 
to filter out the chafe and make gut decisions.

Past employers who simply state the person was employed from date one to 
date two and say no more, even if pressed, are sending a clear message to 
me.  Nothing more needs to be said.
