This is SOP.
My wife has been instructed by the legal department where she works, that for liability reasons, when contacted about the performance of a previous employee, she is to only verify dates of employment, nothing more.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
