Need advice regarding the background verification check

I resigned from my previous job few months ago and now I have received an offer from a different company. I have been able to clear all the rounds and now the final round - background verification check is pending.

I have been asked to give the references of my previous managers whom I was reporting to ( need to give 2 names).

Now the issue is that I didn't leave on good terms in my previous company. I asked for an internal switch and they instead created a toxic environment and forced me indirectly to resign - which also led to a few situations where we had an argument. In conclusion, I didn't leave on good terms. Now how do I provide my reporting managers reference. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think it's really okay too. These are generally subjective and these bgv start after you join and takes eons. Pls do see that the consent for bgv is after you join. Colleagues is ok too.

And have hardly heard that someone goes on to screw someone after they have left.

Way forward

  1. You can be transparent with hr about the whole situation
  2. You can give a colleagues number who has worked with you, although not your manager but still a senior enough esp in designation and yoe
  3. Make them talk to any manager who you’ve worked previously instead of this specific company
