Question by anonymous: Can Company Say Bad Thing about me if I use them for Reference!? Please Help!?
Hello guys,
OK, so over the summer I interned for a company that sold advertisements for businesses. Commissions are based on sales and our sales go on our personal records. Before my internship was over I signed a business to a contract for advertising space. The business already had an outstanding balance from the year before because the company had messed up on their advertising because the business did not sign off on the artwork and were still getting billed for it.
I talked to my regional manager about it and he said he would check with his customer relation manager in to see if we could still sign them up. He said we could sign them and waive their past fees if they got a specified amount of advertising space. I signed them with a payment plan of 6 months that was authorized by my regional manager with a 10% deposit up front.
Just today the business called me and told me that the regional manager had come in and tried to collect more money from the business because apparently they needed more money before my intern company could waive the fees. The business called me and told me that I was professional and a good person but they wanted to cancel the contract because the original contract had stated they could pay in 6 months and all past fees would be deducted. However since my regional manager wanted to collect more they were unhappy with it and they still didn’t get their sample artwork in the mail after I called headquarters many times to see if they received the artwork because I mailed it in myself with the other checks but no one knew about it but they received the checks. I promised the business I would try to refund their money if I couldn’t work things out with hq.
Anyways today I called the customer relations manager and I asked her to explain what was going on and that I was a little upset because I was told one thing and that we were screwing the business over. She explained it to me and I kept trying to see if there was a way around it that we could work something out with the business. Finally, I asked her about the artwork that I submitted because obviously hq was in another state and I just stated that we needed that because we would be making the same mistake again like last year if we didn’t submit them the artwork to sign off on because the business was unhappy again that they didn’t receive any artwork for this upcoming year. At this point she told me I was out of control and that I was being rude and that my regional manager who is below her would talk to me. Was I being out line? I just wanted to know how to explain to the business what happened. My regional manager called me today with a pissed off voice mail message saying to call him back. I’m really upset about this because I was trying to handle the situation even though my internship was officially over. Should I feel upset. Also, can the company say bad things about me when I use them for a reference? Before the internship was over the regional manager and the divisional manager said if I needed a letter of recommendation they would be more than happy to write me a positive one.
