I am currently working for an optical chain as an optometrist. In the first few months of working for the company I decided, this wasn't the best mode of practice for me and decided to leave; or so I thought. I have applied to several different optical chains. In one case, I interviewed and a job offer was made. No sooner did I accept the offer, the rescinded it stating the job I was being hired for no longer existed.
Most recently, I spoke with another company about the possibility of working for them. The DM (district manager) said he would pass my name along to the Director of Clinical Services. I never heard from them. I called the DM again and he has yet to return my phone call. I have a strong suspicion that my current DM, has been offering bad references in an attempt to keep me. I can't prove any of this. What can I do?
I am a friendly and competent doctor who just wants to work in an environment that allows me to be ethical.
