    Why, if your colleagues don't care for you, would you request their reference? If you cannot find anyone to provide you a nice reference, then I would just point anyone trying to verify employers to the company's corporate HR.

    This is the path forward.

    The Work Number only provides job title and dates of employment, not references. (Also will verify education and provide salary, if you've authorized it.)
