Work references

The whole system of asking for references is highly corrupt. Just as a example I'm a teacher my workplace has had a massive turnover because they are toxic they wouldn't give a reference work having for at least 40% of the staff the rest are the problem. So you have a toxic workplace but they decide if the other people can get work and that isn't counting the revolving door of people leaving those jobs.

The students are also part of the problem and low pay so between that I'm also expected to get a reference to get a new or better job after I put up with that shit. Fuck me fair dinkum. So before I did teaching I was a carery gay manager got angry when I refused his advances so he gave me shit reference in my other jobs one good reference other was working as a carer for a company making a million dollars per year off a former public servant who needed care so she worked in a department where I was hated because iny previous job I was a cadet engineer and my manager was a psychopath and hated me because my dad was a mp so he took it out on me for politics even though I was successful and all the other cadets failed. He was one in a million mental case. But since I've found quite a few. Now I'm at the toxic school and finding it hard to get work because they are mental and have a long history of financial abuse towards employees.

What I don't get is why do normal people perpetuate this system of abuse that encourages vexatious untrue behaviour as the norm
