New boss hates you? Take defensive measures

October 28, 2007

Q: I work for a failing organization that brought in a new manager to turn things around. The problem is that the new manager has written me up and threatened to dismiss me. He clearly hates me. I have never been in this situation before. I don't want a future employer to call this company and have them say anything negative about me. Earlier this year, I was given a merit raise and was told by my manager's boss that they were happy with my work. I'll be resigning, but how do I ensure this company doesn't say negative things to a future employer?
