Hello,
A particular recruitment consultancy in UK is spreading bad stories about me to potential employers. The story that they tell concerns an Electronics contract that I left (a few years ago) before the project was finished. The sole reason that I left the contract was because the project was totally and utterly bogus and would have lost the company loads of money. ..and lost them customers.
However, the recruitment consultancy are saying I am a quitter. The particular reason this recruitment consultancy disfavour myself is because I undertook an Electronics contract ( a different one) at Dyson, but did this via a rival recruitment consultancy. The recruitment consultancy that are now spreading bad stories about me said that I should have been under them for the Dyson contract. It is true that the “story-spreading” recruitment consultancy did contact me about the Dyson contract first, but they did not specify exactly which contract it was…..so when a different recruitment consultancy contacted me with a Dyson job, I just accepted it. The recruitment consultancy that is now spreading bad stories about me were furious with me and shouted down the phone that I was their client, and should have been working for Dyson via themselves. After telling me this , he told me that I would have to be very careful and hinted they were going to spread bad stories about me leaving the company that this post speaks about. This consultancy hinted to me that I owed them and that if I get offered future electronics contracts, then I should contact them and ask them to administer the contract. Please note that the particular contract that I am discussing here is not the Dyson one, the company under discussion is not a UK company. (in any case, Dyson don’t make pumps)
Anyway, before I left the company under discussion here, I told the bosses that the project was worthless, and wrote them a full technical report stating exactly why the project was bogus. However, I don’t believe that they wanted to heed my report. I know that this entire department now, does not exist, and many of the engineers and managers of that department , no longer work at the place. I know that some of the engineers were transferred to other parts of this company, after the closure of the department that I am speaking about.
(The project involved a current output regulated buckboost converter, attempting to regulate the speed of a BLDC motor by regulating the output current of the buckboost converter, the BLDC is switched by a three phase inverter, which is controlled by a Sensorless BLDC Motor control IC (ML4425), -the Sensorless BLDC Motor control IC is commutating the BLDC coils, but not high frequency PWM’ing the coils within the commutations. The Sensorless BLDC Motor control IC is a standard Voltage source inverter controller IC. The speed regulation circuitry inside the inverter control IC has been bypassed)
..I advised that the project was not worth going forward with, since it involved driving a BLDC/Inverter from the current regulated output of a Buckboost converter. (In other words, the output current of the buckboost converter was to be current regulated so as to control the speed of the BLDC.) The Inverter controller's (ML4425) speed control circuitry had been bypassed, and lots of external circuitry had been added in to achieve this. The inverter IGBT's were being commutation switched, as you'd expect, but were not being high frequency PWM'd within the commutations....the motor coil current regulation being entirely left to the aforementioned buckboost converter…Bogus!
This project was not worth them paying me to do it. Aside from being non-advantageous, it was using a large amount of unnecessary external circuitry.
Anyway, the aftermath of this is that I am getting bad stories spread to potential employers.
Is there any agency that I can go to about this?
