Has anyone heard of a former employer talk poorly about someone, which in turn resulted in them getting fired from their new company months after being hired?

Asking because I felt I was treated poorly in previous company, so I left on not the best terms. Previous director may know my current director. Thanks for the feedback, feeling pretty hopeless

Hey OP, I personally feel like this would be a stretch situation unless your previous manager/employer doesn’t have good people skills and goes and talks about you behind your back. Majority of employers don’t talk about performance issues at all with new employers, even if they knew each other. For liability and morality reasons.

Generally it would be considered inappropriate and unprofessional to complain about more junior employees in your situation, OP. I'm sure there are people that do this but I would think the people who don't do this are far greater in number. Plus, mature employers understand that sometimes it just doesn't work out between an employer and employee unless the said employee has a history of short term employments in the resume. In which case, u wouldn't have been hired in the first place.

Dude, think about this. What kind of pettiness, hatred and simply time would a Director level person have to have to pick up the phone and risk their reputation as a professional to complain to their competitor about an analyst?

Hi everyone, unfortunately I was recently affected by a layoff at my company. About 30% of their marketing department along with other departments were all let go. I have 3+ professional experience with product marketing, digital marketing, and event management. If you know of anyone looking for marketing specialists or just want to network in general let me know. I would love to connect!

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident). I just got told they’re firing me. Should I expect severance? Have other people been fired for similar? What did you do with your career?

Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning. My colleagues called me because they were confused on why the Talent Manager dismissed me from the chat. I didn’t know what they were referring to. So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?
