Yeah, that 'important' part, never going to happen. Good luck wasting your money on that! Also, they don't need to say anything, a lot of people will just assume you got fired for gross incompetence because that's what usually causes people who disappear overnight. And it's not about your team it's everyone in your company. Plus potentially a bunch of their friends they mention the story to. "Hey Joe, didn't you tell me about a guy called Giant who just disappeared one day when you worked at Acme? Was it Giant G?" "Yeah, it was, why?" "Oh, he's popped up as a potential hire, I'll tell HR to nix him" I guess it really depends on the size of your local market, but in my area I've bumped into multiple people more than once across jobs/contracts/meetups/etc.

The company is big and most people wouldn't know I left. The one that you claim in the scenario that works at the same new company would probably have talked together at some point in the new company if we were alums. Waste what money? If it's a good case, then it would be handled on a contingent basis. Frankly, I'm tired off all the BS prestige and reputation. I have plenty of people that have a high opinion of me and that wouldn't change with this scenario. People who did find out would message me to ask what happened. I actually ran this scenario by a friend at the company and they said it makes sense and they would do the same thing. It's stupid that promotions and hiring is all about backroom deals and bias.
