Good place to be leaving, it would seem. Like Mark says, get it in writing. I'd expect chapter and verse, because while ex-employers aren't supposed to give anything away except the fact that you were employed there, start date and end date, I've seen people call a new employer and murder the new-hire's reputation. When I heard about one instance where a guy I knew was a good worker had it happen to him, we talked to the hiring manager and HR. Since the guy had been a contractor at another part of our company and then hired in direct at our location, there should have been consequences for the bastard that made that call. Of course, HR said nothing was going to be done, but then they're not supposed to tell about other people's employment or discipline status.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
