The word "peer" has ruined my 25 years of experience. I decided to work for a non profit( for at first an illegal wage) then was promoted to Peer Advisor. Isn't it illegal to give an employer information about you but the job title alone?

I’m also very confused. The term “peer” simply refers to your colleagues and team members.

Many companies have a policy against giving out any employee references or detaiuls other than time of employment and title to avoid any possible allegations of falsehoods, defamation, etc., but it is NOT illegal for an employer to respond to an employment verification/reference check, unless you have a written contract against doing so

The cheapest ticket in the whole arena, basically top row so you can’t see crap, is $506 before you start with the fees!!! Am I wrong or is that just bananas???? Oh well, pay per view it is, maybe have some friends over. Just complaining… happy Friday!
