the correct route would of been to follow the grievance procedure as bulling in the work place is no longer acceptable and is defined as anything that makes another person uncomfortable,
as for notice, you only need to give 1 weeks
yes you can get a reference employment law states a employer can not give a bad reference but they can refuse to give 1

You need to decide whether you want one. It depends who picked on you, how long you were there and whether your manager (or someone else in authority or personnel) will agree to give you a good reference.
If you don't give a reference, a new employer may very well ask why so you need to be truthful and explain. Try, at least, to get soemone in a position of authority to give a reasonable request. If not, your employer before this one.
To give a full answer, I would also need to kow long ago did this happen?, did you give 4 weeks in writing but just left two weeks earlier?

I work for an employment agency, so let me answer this for you the best I can without all the details. If you gave them a 4 week notice, then you are required to stay for the four weeks, this means you left on good terms by staying the entire time given. 2 weeks is the norm for proper notice, but by leaving without telling them you weren't returning, and they expected you to stay 2 more weeks, isn't a good thing. They do not have to give you a good reference. Good luck to you.

You probably can't get references, I know how work places are and you should have had a 4 weeks notice, so you could have left on good terms. Or, if you were fired you could have received unemployment, but, you can try to get references, but, now you know what to do for if this happens again.

In my best understanding, having held many jobs and quit way too many for my own good, my exprience is that a two weeks notice is more then sufficient for work places.
If you were a stellar worker while there, most places will give you a good reference. I would use them still if you have good relations there. It doesn't hurt, and isn't against the rules though, before you use them as a reference give them a call and ask what they intend to say about you.

I wouldn't get a reference from your manager that you worked for. I would Ask one of the people you worked with To give you a reference. You know someone that you are cool with. That way you can get hired somewhere else.

An employer cannot give you a bad reference. They can refuse to give you a reference, which does not look good to your future employers, but you could explain the circumstances surrounding your leaving. Be honest, but dont put the boss down too much, this never looks good to a new prospective employer.

Depends on whose giving the references.

i was brought up being told you don't get nothing unless you ask, they can give you one of two answers but it may not be a very good reference unless they knew the circumstances that you left early
