What does a reference check entail? I left my previous employer on bad terms, and don’t want to give my manager/boss as a reference

Can I give my old manager from my previous job 2 years ago?

Most reference check don’t even ask the managers

And at times where I don’t remember or don’t want to share, I just put “n/a” and never get any issues from it

Just don’t give their name. Usually all they do is call the company to confirm your dates of employment and to see your status when you left (in good standing, fired, etc). But who knows they may not even be able to asm about status anymore
