RESIGNING MAN TOLD COMPANY WHERE HE’S GOING, THEY CALL HIS NEW OFFICE TO SABO HIM

Never tell your current company where you plan to go after resigning. EVER.

I believe my current company called the place I was leaving to work at and sabotaged me 10 days before my start date.

I was told concerning issues were brought to light. References were blamed but I followed up with all of them and they said their was no chance they changed their mind from something they said.

Now, my current company says I “could” stay but that suddenly everyone is complaining about me and my boss said she couldn’t find anyone who was willing to work with me. So, ergo I’d have basically no hours or clients.

Pretty sure they blackballed me for some reason.

1. any chance for you to investigate? If yes crush them
   • (OP) I wish…doesn’t seem like there’s much to go on..but suddenly after this new company received “concerning” information my current company now had a whole munch of complaints about me…all of a sudden. I’ve only been given good reviews while I’ve worked for them.
2. You were definitely sabotaged. Idk what recourse you have though.
3. If my boss is a POS, then I’m just tell I’m going to work for a larger rival company, even if I’m not.
4. Yeah, 40 years ago, I had a bastard of an employer do that to me after I not only had left his job but had relocated. Miserable old f. That was the beginning of my life-long hatred of bosses.
5. Jokes on them I retired after resigning.
6. I share your experience
   Back when I apply to another company, i used my previous company boss as a reference (Did software dev work alongside him while all the while maintaining / refactoring existing project)
   I did a lot of changes to the company, figure that the boss would do me a some good and refer to me kindly.
   Alas, he say bad things about me. New company supe used this complain to reject me despite me able to answer everything in multiple phase of interview
   After rejection, I told them to get me in non lead role and see how I perform within a year and decide then whether I fit what I want.
   Got the job, same compensation as what i want albeit without lead role. After some time i found out that my prev company boss had been reviewing me badly during the reference.
   It makes me a little disappointed, personally talked to him and ask him for reference and he was all cool and so on, turns out he was being fake and backstabbed me.
