What on earth? I don't know why you're trying to make me out like I have a revenge fantasy. Did you read anything I wrote?

Again, what you're saying is wrong. It's not illegal. Show me a law where telling the truth about someone is illegal. It's not illegal in employment verification, and it's definitely not illegal for a reference which is what you were talking about about, and does not need to be some separate written document. As I wrote, it is a common HR policy to not give feedback to avoid a costly but ultimately winnable lawsuit, always in the case of truth and often in the case of opinions: https://www.findlaw.com/employment/hiring-process/is-a-former-employer-s-bad-reference-illegal-.html#:~:text=Legal%20actions%20based%20on%20misstatements,employee%20to%20a%20potential%20employer.

It's a common misconception, so totally understandable, but if you're going to be very wrong don't be a dick about it.
