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. 

That was the best! It gave me some much needed laughs.

While joining, the company says.. Congratulations, here is your offer letter. Kindly confirm your acceptance over email. As the last step you have to sign the OL "on the date of your joining."

Ques: Is signing OL on the date of joining a normal thing to do? On what basis should I be confident to tell my current org that I am leaving. What if they revoke?

How do you keep up/in touch with your network?

If I don't have any relevant information to share with them, what should I do?
