There is a CCI policy that states that a current employee may not give a reference to former or current employees who are looking for employment elsewhere. With the current state of the organization, has there been any communication that this policy no longer is I effect?

Don't worry, they won't have enough money to sue you.
Since June, I have probably been a reference for at least 30 people. If the company has been so irresponsible that we are now considered the worst player in an infamous industry, then they do not have the moral credibility to expect me to be loyal. If someone is looking for another job and I believe that they are a worthwhile employee, I'm going to give them a great reference!
I do it all the time I prefer to make obscure references to stuff nobody cares about so I can make you all angry. I really like riling up tranny as the he/she seems to have anger management issues. Hilariously good times!
I wrote 50 plus recommendation letters when I worked at CCI and almost everyone in leadership did as well I only had one poor performing employee ask and told them I wouldn't because of their performance but when the employer called I would only give dates of employment. If someone is asking you for one, give it. If you asked for one and they are telling you the policy then they likely don't want to do it.
29193 - who cares if there's a CCI policy on this? They don't follow federal rules, but we're supposed to tow the company line.
You say no one gives references yet Joan Germino in Tampa gives personal references to her own favorites, she encourages her team to do her work for her and has the biggest idiots on her team - so e beg to stay with her like a toddler, bring her lunch, dinner, worship the ground she walks on do they know she ain't got their back!!! She can't even control her home life hoping one say to wear white although she's far from being pure, how much of a rimming job can she tolerate from her employees!!! Stop her from her reference giving!
For IT most companies take a references with a grain of salt unless they find out if the guy is a douchebag. Then again most IT people can see in the interview if the person is good or not.
Not just CCi, that is common in general. it is also widely ignored. It is a 'safe haven' for managers who can be sued by ex-employees who are not given positive references. If I'm asked for a reference for an employee that had performance issues, I'd quote CCi policy, confirm dates ans salary and nothing else. For a good employee I ignore the policy and give a positive reference.
Got mine before I started looking.
