I do notice that employers are quick to criticise what they see as bad employees, but it's a two way street. Twenty odd years ago I left a half decent job only to find that my new employer had lied at the interview about the terms and scope of my role and the salary. A fractious two months later, I left under what can only be described as difficult circumstances. What, I wonder, would they have said about me had I included them on my CV or offered them as a reference? Umbongo - unfortunately, while Les may go, Brighton remains a part of England... ;) Stephen, some of the commenters on the BBC piece mentioned the idea of a database of bad employers.

This database should be available online so that employees can vet their prosepective employer.
