Personally, I couldn't give two shits what the opinion of a former employer was of a perspective employee unless said employee asked me to call them.

I mean they left or are leaving the position, so either there was some conflict, lack of pay, etc that lead to that separation. So why would I want to opinion of some jaded a-hole?

Industry references are much more important. The relationships you build with those you do business with are a direct reflection of how you handle your business.
