Sample Letter for Employment Reference Letter - Unfavorable Subject: Request for Employment Reference — Unfavorable Recommendation [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Designation] [Company Name] [Company Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request an employment reference letter for [Employee's Name], who was under my supervision at [Company Name] for the duration of their employment from [Start Date] to [End Date]. Unfortunately, I must provide an unfavorable recommendation based on various significant observations and incidents during their tenure as an employee. It is important to inform you that this letter is intended to offer an honest assessment of the employee's performance. Throughout their employment, I closely monitored [Employee's Name]'s work ethics, abilities, and behavior, and it is with great regret that I submit this unfavorable reference. While every effort was made to address concerns and provide guidance, [Employee's Name] consistently demonstrated unsatisfactory performance and behavior that urged me to reevaluate their suitability for the position. Here are the specific areas where their performance was subpar: 1. Inefficiency and Lack of Productivity: Despite being provided with clear instructions and reasonable deadlines, [Employee's Name] often failed to meet targets and exhibited poor time management skills. Deliverables were frequently submitted with errors and required extensive revisions, causing delays and overall inefficiency within the team. 2. Poor Communication Skills: Effective communication is vital in any workplace. Regrettably, [Employee's Name] demonstrated consistent challenges in both written and verbal communication. Their inability to articulate thoughts clearly hindered collaboration, caused misunderstandings, and affected project outcomes. 3. Lack of Initiative and Motivation: [Employee's Name] frequently exhibited a lack of enthusiasm, initiative, and motivation. They rarely took on additional responsibilities or engaged in proactive problem-solving. This passive attitude impacted team morale and productivity. 4. Unreliable Attendance and Punctuality: [Employee's Name] had a recurring issue with tardiness, absenteeism, and taking unscheduled breaks without prior notice. Their repeated failure to adhere to the company's policies and punctuality standards disrupted daily operations and added an unnecessary burden on colleagues. Given the circumstances mentioned above, I regrettably cannot recommend [Employee's Name] for any position requiring the aforementioned skills and attributes. However, I encourage you to conduct your own assessment to make an informed decision. If you require any further information or specific examples, please feel free to contact me at [Phone Number] or [Email Address]. I remain committed to providing an honest appraisal of [Employee's Name]'s work performance during their time at [Company Name]. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Designation] [Company Name]
