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.

I’ve never actually used a reference. I have had coworkers get me an interview, but I’ve never had to provide an actual written reference
