I got a new job. I am beyond excited. The last thing to finalize is the new job needs to speak with my references and confirm their letters of rec. I have great references, but 2 of them are disorganized. They are artsy people, they haven’t gotten back to my new bosses yet. I am freaking out that they are going to cost me this new job. I’ve reached out and reminded them but nothing is moving.
Give them an incentive to do it.
>I am freaking out >they are going to cost >me 😂😂 have you thought about your referees? the only thing that I see from the text is your selfishness and lack of self-control
They certainly could lose you the job, their flaky behavior might interpreted as a lack of support for your candidacy.
