So I had this job...

Agree with Stuart. That was well played.

I wonder if your boss just up and quit too - without warning.

[Ridge]

Doubt it...she's been there for I think 5 years, and was telling me how great it is to be a manager (apparently I was on track to replace the overnight manager once he goes on disability)

Even he told me to get out as fast as possible.

I'm all about leaving a job you don't like. But... Remember when your next employer needs references guess who he is going to want to call. When your next employer wants employee history and you give them her number what is she going to say? I think even from the worst job you should give notice. I'm just saying, from someone that hires people.

By Colorado law all a former employer is ALLOWED to say is: "Yes, <insert name of employee> worked here from <start date> to <end date>".

That is ALL they can legally say. Anything else is a violation of the law and opens the company and manager up for civil and criminal lawsuits.

I worked there for less than a month. I'll just say I was unemployed during that time if they ask....

In your situation your fine. But in general Ill stand by what I said.

Went to grab a can tonight and some Indian Bitch at the Sinclair on Broadway was saying that my ID did not match my DL name did not my card name. Gas station rant for the nights

yes, thats the law but you would be surprised what people would say voluntarily.

I think they can ask more than just the one question, like if you are eligible for rehire or not, but no details. Even the being eligible for rehire part doesn't matter much, as many companies have a policy that if you ever leave, for any reason, you are automatically not eligible for rehire. Sometimes people will say, "I'd love to rehire this person, but our company policy doesn't allow it." In my experience, working for a large corporation, no one I worked with even works at the company anymore. In many cases, you just call a 1-800 number and listen to a pre-recorded message about your work dates.
