California ! There was an opening at a hospital near by for the patient transport/ hospital assistant position that I got reffered by a current worker(nurse) that I applied for. It asked for my previous employers (last 7years) and I listed them all. I am a good worker and all my references should be good besides my last employment. I was working as a server at a local restaurant and got laid off after 2.5 years due to them relocating their place far away. I got laid off on 12/28/2025. In the job application, it asked for my managers number and contact information. However my manager doesn’t really like me for a particular reason. The restaurant was stealing tip money to use as a “savings account” for the restaurant and I figured it out as a previous lead server had told me about it. I told the rest of the servers about it and it eventually led to the manager finding out that I had told all the servers about it. Since then, they would assign me the harder/busier sections, giving me attitude, etc. I had listed the manager as one of the references as on the application , it specifically asked for it and I didn’t want to lie and put someone else’s information for it . Do you guys think this would be a problem? I know they check for employment dates, position held and eligibility for rehire. I probably am not on the eligibility for rehire due to this “situation” and was wondering if you guys think it would affect me securing this job.
