Hi,
I worked for a small company in Bangalore for 3.5 yrs(Nov 2011 to March 2015).I resigned it on 12 December 2014 and served 3 months notice period . My previous employer wanted me to stay back but I insisted so he gave me a bad reference in my experience letter by saying "The performance of Mr.X during his tenure was average and conduct is not satisfactory" in my experience. I dealt with this very politely and had very good conduct with my colleagues. I have served my notice period and done with all my work. My previous boss orally said me that he will screw my life by giving bad reference in my experience letter.My new company is located in Pune and I said all these matter to my new HR. He just said me to submit the proofs and I sent him my resignation mails and recent hike letter. Its been 1.5 months working with new company and they have not come back asking for any further details nor I went and asked.
I wanted to know that will this bad reference in my experience letter will cause any problems if I try to change my job in future. Should I take legal action against my former employer.
