I am writing to provide an employment reference for [Employee's Name], who was previously employed at [Company/Organization Name] from [Start Date] to [End Date]. I regret to inform you that my assessment of [Employee's Name]'s employment at our organization is unfavorable. Throughout their tenure, [Employee's Name] consistently demonstrated poor performance, lack of commitment, and exhibited behavior detrimental to the work environment. One of the most apparent issues was [Employee's Name]'s inability to meet deadlines or complete assigned tasks satisfactorily. Despite our efforts to provide support and guidance, their work output frequently fell below the expected standards. This led to delays in project completion and sometimes the need for others to step in and correct their errors. Furthermore, [Employee's Name] displayed unprofessional conduct on several occasions. They frequently engaged in gossiping, spreading rumors, and exhibiting inappropriate behavior towards colleagues. Such behavior not only disrupted the workplace but also had a negative impact on team morale and productivity. Additionally, their teamwork and collaboration skills were severely lacking. [Employee's Name] frequently displayed an unwillingness to work as part of a team, failed to communicate effectively, and exhibited a lack of respect towards their coworkers. This not only limited their own growth and development but also hindered the progress of the entire team. Given these circumstances, I strongly advise against appointing [Employee's Name] to any position that requires reliable performance, teamwork, and professionalism. While everyone has the potential to grow and improve, based on their time at our organization, I have serious reservations about [Employee's Name]'s ability to fulfill the expectations of an employment role in a satisfactory manner. I would be more than willing to provide further clarification or discuss my observations in more detail if necessary. Please feel free to contact me via the provided contact information if you require any additional information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
