I recently received a job offer that I was really excited about. I reached out to two former managers and three co-workers to serve as references, and all five of them agreed and filled out a reference survey, which came back positive. I was cleared for onboarding and was just about to start orientation. However, one day after signing all the necessary documents, I got a shocking call from HR. They informed me that one of my references had sent a separate narrative email that was forwarded to the department head. As a result, my job offer was rescinded based on the contents of that email. I feel completely betrayed and confused about why someone I trusted would do this to me.
