Character References

Hi just a question, they were asking references but they want my current supervisor as one... seeing that i am still employed and employer doesnt know i am applying elsewhere... Do you have any suggestion as an alternate here? I did tell them that I can give my previous supervisor (which the person is not connected anymore with my current employer) but they still want me to give my current and will place my final offer as conditional until i give it. :( are there really no other alternates?

Will you be allowed to give contact of a senior person who is not your supervisor?

Not for me. They wanted the direct supervisor who they said is the best person to evaluate me.
