And as for bad references, I've known many employees who sued their previous employers for giving bad reference. For that reason most corporations say nothing, except to confirm "yes this guy worked here starting ____ and ending ____". They don't want to get sued so they avoid saying anything negative. I would not be worried.
The only extent that they will go beyond this is to say if they would hire that employee again.
