I've recently heard from two people that were listed as references that the contractor was awful. One reference said he returned several messages with explicit instructions to call his cell phone. They continued to play phone tag because the contractor continued to call his office number. It was only after my reference finally got through on a return call that he realized the contractor was not the sharpest tool in the shed. My reference asked why he didn't use the cell phone number he provided in his many messages and was told that number "wasn't on his list of number to call that was given to him by his supervisor." So he asked if he (the contractor) got the voicemails he left for him with the new number. The contractor reportedly replied that he did, and that's why he tried to call as soon as he received the messages. *smh.* The other reference said he received two calls back to back from different people at the same company. One message was for me, the other message was from someone he'd never heard of. After he return the call to the contractor for me he told the contractor about the other message for the person he didn't know. The reply was "that's unfortunate." Just, wow. This is disturbing on so many levels.

Couldn't be any more disturbing on the sound I made when I saw a new post in "references contacted" and thought "please god, don't tell me they aren't done yet, and someone is posting a reference was called today!"

Sorry for the panic. Just figured that was a good place to stick it!

So, we're just done with phrasing, right, that's not a thing anymore?

Has anyone's references been lost yet?
