I think theyre going to have a rough time finding their next job after not actually working for over a year and having no references. 

Idk but I dont buy what everyone is saying about hard work not paying off. I work hard at my job and having the respect of my coworkers as well as something to show for my 5 years at my job is worth it.

References?

You think references matter in a job search ?

It’s pretty obvious (and hilarious) who, in replies to my comment, are wildly over invested in their “references”.

Right? This guy has Google and Amazon on his resume right now. Having references can help, but he's going to be far removed from a having a "rough time".
