I spent three years "working" in the Ministry of Agriculture carefully crafting projectiles out of folded paper and drawing pins that I would then fire at colleagues with an elastic band. On discovering I'd been conducting all-out warfare when I should really have been in a field counting cows, I was asked to "reconsider my career options" outside the service.
Why, then, should you be fired from your job?

No noob.
Firstly, next time you want to post crap like this, please go to /talk or /links.
Secondly, just for the record, [in the UK] it's unwise, but NOT illegal, to give a bad reference that you can't substantiate. It simply leaves you liable to court actions for damages resulting from its inaccuracies.
It is perfectly legal to give a bad reference if it is truthful and substantive. In other words, if you were lazy and shit and they can prove it, they are allowed to say so. Many ex-employers can't be bothered, so they simply say "no comment", which is a dead cert for getting on to the "application rejected" pile.
As to why I should be fired from my job, no reason just yet, but I'm working on it.
