    If the person who wrote the reference just has a grudge against you and you feel that it was written like that because of this then you should think about seeing an employment lawyer.

    However, if you were a knob at that job, missed deadlines, turned up late, spat on clients and your work was that of a 5 year old then you probably deserve a bad reference.

    Most companies would only use the reference of a current job once you've got the job - e.g during 6 weeks probation if you turn out to be crap then they might contact your previous employer (to see if you were crap there too).
