Remind me why they do that? It's really unnecessary and some employers are bitter.

Originally it was just to see if they had the working experience that they put on their résumé or job application. But some companies will give more information about the employee, especially if they’re mad at them. Which is illegal. The company who asked the previous company about the employee will probably not report that company that they broke the law by bad mouthing the employee.
