Comment on Ask HN: How do you get references without alerting management?parent

Comments

Yeah, unprofessional for sure, to be fair only some hiring managers do this but I found out it is best to assume they will. Not just to force a move but so when their guys are trying to leave they get the favor returned by others calling them. One time, my boss grilled me about what I put on the resume and then when I accepted he kept asking if I have news for him (hardly ever talk to him before lol), and a coworker asked me about my move the next day (different role than what i mentioned earlier). Scummy trashy behavior, I wonder why they respect themselves so little.
