My most past job was at a hotel as a cashier I loved it and even got plenty of great reviews from guests and even fake shoppers. But anyway we got a new manager in and since working there full-time and lots of times over time I have only got 3 breaks but never complained because I enjoyed people but it got to me when I couldn’t stop for 2 minutes to do nothing its better for them if I do 2 then 30 but the new lady got upset.
And so did I and I said am leaving in two weeks and she told me to leave now!!
So I did and saw this job at wendys I just need something to pay for college and I put that as a past job because thats were I learned my cashiering at and I placed Publix too what I did when I was 16.
SO what are the chances of them calling that job? I heard they told other workers I stoled if I did I would be in jail but there thoes type of people I placed the wendys job yesterday hopefully they won’t give them a call because I was a great worker but over worked.

It is better to put your work history. If your former employer lies about anything you did, then you would have cause to sue him for civil damages. Generally, employers know this and they will not give you a bad review unless you were truly awful.
To get past a relationship with a bad manager, put down that somebody else whom you got along with as a point of contact. Usually, companies only verify employment. Some, however, will ask if you are eliglble for re-hire (this is code to find out if you were a bad employee).
I would not think that Wendy’s will go into this much detail. After you work at Wendys for a couple of years, you can disregard past employers that may give you a bad reference. Especially at 16.
There is a good chance future employers will call your past jobs. But there are very strict guidelines about what past employers can and can not say. Unless you use your old boss as a personal reference, the basic things they are allowed to say is if you worked there and if you are rehire-able. They cannot say you stole from them unless they have prosecuted you. If they are saying this to your prospective employers, file a complaint.
By the way, your new boss got mad at you not taking breaks because employers can get in very, very big trouble if the employees are not taking/not allowed proper breaks. I wasn’t there, I don’t know if your boss handled it correctly, but just know the above stuff goes both ways. The laws are there to protect you and your employer from a variety of things. Just like your employer can’t pick and chose which ones they respect neither can you.
