A total snubbing

I was walking down the street and ran it to my old manager, 'Margaret' I exclaimed 'Hi' and she turned to me, looked me up and down and kept on walking. She's one of my referees on my resume and I don't know why she would treat me like that, because I there wasn't any bad blood between us when I left the job.
I don't know if I should try and call her and talk to her because I obviously don't want someone like that as a referee if she despises me enough to snub me.

Seriously tho, maybe she didn't recognise you? Is that a possibility? :/

I ate all your bees.
Well, she is old and somewhat mental so probably, but I would much prefer to mental myself out thinking that she hates me. To be honest though, I think someone shouting out your name is a bit to much of a hint for her not to stop, but for her not to stop is strange in itself cause if someone shouts out your name, you stop.
I think.

Hey, I nodded at you, what more do you want? That's a perfectly acceptable salutation for someone walking down the street, i.e. GOING SOMEWHERE. You're a blabbermouth. I knew that if I stopped to talk to you you would have held me up all freakin' day. You don't work for me anymore. MOVE ON.

Well the real question is should I take her off my resume? I don't need an unenthusiastic referee, or should I call her?

― Nellie (nellskies), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 06:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd call her, just to make sure. If she's rude again time to ditch her off your C.V

But just call her and say, "hey, I'm just updating my resume, and I just wanted to see if you're still okay with me listing you as a reference?"

Seems to me a gutless, but resourceful girl (such as myself) would call and pretend she was a prospective employer to get the real dirt

ooh. that's good. My voice is kind of distinctive though, so I best get a mate to do it. I like it.

― Nellie (nellskies), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 06:13 (twenty-one years ago)

cool, thats an awesome idea. I wish I had the balls to try things like that :)

Well, apart from your attendance record, your job title and your duration of employment there's really nowt else any prospective employer wants to know from a (sniff) retail manager. And legally, there's actually very little that a former manager can tell them apart from those things (which is a good thing). I wouldn't give the woman the satisfaction of knowing she's upset you. Pretending to collect a reference for someone might be illegal/entrapment, though.

If you were working in a store/shop and your former manager was an arsehole, the funniest and most satisfying thing to do is send a well-dressed parent or sibling in to 'shop' for 15 minutes, where the manager is made to fetch and carry and be butt-suckingly obsequious. Of course nothing will be good enough for the 'customer' who will then tell their companion what a mutt the manager is LOUDLY on the way out.
