there was a guy who stole thousands of $$$ in goods where I work and he was let go only to be hired in the same position elsewhere. all his reference was able to say was "he was not right for the position here" or "things didn't quite work out as well as they'd hoped" etc.
anyone know?

as long as the reference was given in good faith then its fine, basically if the purpose of ur reference isn't to screw the guy out of a job, they cant really sue.
But most companies have internal policies in place to keep references very vague and just basically to verify employment. And they either left on "mutual terms" or they left on "their own terms".
