Actually, there are ways around the law. A prospective employer can ask a prior employer, "would you hire this person again?" I am dealing with situations where I worked for psychopaths who have destroyed the careers of several people. And, you have bullied me. In many ways, I have been bullied my entire life. Despite my best efforts, I fit in no where. I would like to file complaints with the authorities but I have difficulty writing about what happened. My thoughts are all over the place and the thoughts trigger my PTSD. I would like to just forget about it but can't because I can't find a job - no one will hire me even though I am a very good worker and a nice person. I am not socially sophisticated. I don't think I ever will be. I just don't seem to have a feel for it. I've had therapy but it doesn't seem to help much.
