Alludes to angry former employers? (5-10)

I believe the answer is:

cross-references

'alludes to' is the definition.

'angry former employers?' is the wordplay.
'angry' becomes 'cross' (I've seen this before).
'former employers?' becomes 'references' (former employers may provide a reference).
'cross'+'references'='CROSS-REFERENCES'

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
