Dear Fresh Start:
Possibly it could; however, employers and personnel offices are careful not to badmouth an employee should a new workplace inquire about her/him. We don’t give legal advice, but this a question addressed in several sites. Answers.com summarizes what pretty much says you shouldn’t worry unless that new employer has talked with some of your former coworkers.
