Whoa, to tell your current manager you were looking around? This is a good example of pushing on one part of bad culture and finding a bunch of others but wow, not cool.
- giantg2 6y agoIt was at the same company. They expect you to discuss posting with your manager before applying. Even if you don't, the application system notifies them automatically when you submit a resume. In this case the hiring manager called my then current manager to ask what was going on, why I declined (even after I already told him), and basically trying to make me look like I was wasting company time or being rude. Luckily I got another call later that day offering me a position with a different team, so i didn't have to deal with either of these managers again. Although we are a pay for performance shop, and I feel like the old manager screwed me on my year-end bonus (target is about $7k and I got $1k) and this probably played into that.
