I've seen two cases where this wasn't done.
One case legal proceedings occurred and the employer lost. The company that obtained the reference actually kept notes on how it was odd that the old employer bother to ring them up to give them the bad reference as well as sending a written one. The case would have never occurred if the old employer hadn't given this reference as it was about the treatment of the bloke during and after his employment.
The second case the reference was ignored due to it badly contradicting the other reference obtained and the reference being received 3 months after my mate started working for the new employer. If the employer who my mate had walked out on had told the truth then my mate would been in trouble. However due to stating things like so and so has poor time keeping, misses loads of days of work etc it had no impact.
