Honesty is always the best policy. He did, after all use you to get what he wanted which is totally unfair. A true friend would ask you first. I'd let your boss know that you didn't put him forward for the job but i wouldn't tell him about the lateness/ unreliability. Thats up to him.

Hallo Everybody

called head of the ward and told her that the person who clamed to be my best friend is not. And that I never told him to apply for a job on the ward. And never said I think he is right for the job. I know him for 30 years but more casual then anything. Seen him here and there . Can`t say anything about his work or anything else.....

My boss said she would have called me anyway. To confirm. But under the given circumstances she will give him the credit of the doubt and let him start on monday.
And whatever happens it will not fall back on me.

I am out of it........teddybear

Oh yes it does.
I know what he is like. Years and years and years back I did get him a job because I felt sorry for him. And after a week he did not turn up no more. I learned..........
That was 15 years ago and before that and since then he has never held a job down so I been told.

I am so glad I am out of that one. But what a cheek

Thanks again for the advice everybody

fairydream666: Hallo

Sumbody I known for 30 years couldnt get a job anywhere. So he deceiced a few days ago to aply for a job in the hospitail I am working in. Years ago he started to train as a nurse twice but always walked out. So never trained as a nurse. And used me as a way in without me knowing. He got a job there as a helper on the ward I am working at now.
In the process of getting the job he told them that I told him to apply there and that I think he was the one for the job.

I never ever would have said that as he is unrealiable. Never turns up for work after a while.
Never told him there was a job going.

What am I am going to do????????????

Uh, you tell the truth IF it comes down to it. Don't say anything until you are asked and you don't even have to admit he told you anything either.

When it comes to using a person as a professional reference, it is a shaky line. If he does something wrong and it reflects badly on you, he brings down your name and reputation. It's rude and very presumptuous of him to do that, he's very wrong for doing that.

Your only recourse now is to disassociate yourself from him on all levels and if your superiors come to you and ask questions, you throw him to the wolves just like he did to you. JHMO..your name is one of the few things you can count on in your life and when someone infringes and does something like this, all bets are off...you and your professional reputation come first not him.

Hallo lilmamma

Thanks for your advice. Buts to late I called my boss and told her that I dont really know that guy. She said she would have called me anyhow. So thats that. Its done and I am out of it.

I dont work so hard to have my reputation destroyed by a person like that.

Just was a bit unsure what to do next at the beginning.

Some years ago, a friend of mine went to a bank agency and asked to make a job application on that bank and lied that he was been recommended by a major holder. Today he is one of the great leaders of all those agencies of the group, he just needed a chance ... dunno

outdoorgirlsun: She has never lied. They haven't ask her, I assume. It's their problem, they didn't follow up on a recommendation. If they ask you, then tell the truth, until then just keep working.


I never meant to imply that fairydream had lied, just that it was time to counterbalance his lies, for her own sake - both in terms of her work reputation and the way that this man had effectively tried to bully her.

It can be such a shock when somebody behaves so, that sometimes its hard to see the wood from from the trees. If the way somebody has behaved towards you is a totally alien concept, its sometimes hard, at least initially, to know how to respond.

Fairydream took a step back, put a number of options together, looked for feedback in a relatively impartial environment, (we do tend to side with the OP in such situations and only know what we are told by the OP) and then dealt with the situation with minimum impact on the "offender".

tip hat To fairydream and yourself, as I know from your posts that you are a wise and sound woman.

It sounds like you did everything right.

For future reference, I would consider that person an enemy, who will use you, and take advantage of you, in anyway they can.

If you find out they are asking any questions about you in the future, I would recommend treating them like a stalker.

fairydream666: Hi Jac

I am off at the mo. Not in work till Monday. He has got the job today and allready been to the ward. Told a nurse there that he knows me well and we are friends. Far from it. I know him thats all. The nurse a friend called me to tell me . Me in total schock. I think you are right I have to safe my own a...

But do I call my boss, go there, wait till Monday. To put things straight??????


I'm in agreement with Jac.

I think you should be face to face with your boss when you put things straight. This way he can "read" your body language besides hearing your voice when you tell him how things really are. Body language says a lot along with the words out of your mouth

Hope things work out for youhug

I would ask your boss why he/she did not come to you first to verify if what he said was true before hiring him.
