And above all resist :"telling it like it is."
You can wind up being sued for defamation of character or similar accusations. This is why companies so often only confirm that someone worked from date A to date B.
I had to terminate a guy once who told me flat out that if I said anything bad about him when he put the company down as a reference (I was the head of the company), he would take me to court. So when asked by another employer, all I said was "Yes, he worked here for such and such a period. Our policy is not to do more than confirm that he is a previous employer."
Say little seems to be the rule of the day.
