Hopefully accepting a new job soon, do I need to tell my current job where I am going? Part of me just wants to stay vague and say I’m taking some time off.

Unless you have a good reason for not telling (like you fear retaliation or interference from your current company), refusing to share where you’re going makes it look like you’re hiding something scandalous. So yeah, you don’t NEED to tell, but people are going to think it’s weird when you don’t.

You don’t HAVE to, but as much as we’re your coworkers not your friends, that line often blurs and it’s advantageous to have that friendly relationship with your coworkers and former coworkers.

I wouldn’t be offended by someone wanting to keep their new job place private, but if it were a coworker I’d thought was a friend I don’t think think I’d view them that way anymore

Yeah I kind of agree. I respect the choice to keep it private, but it’s always awkward when you ask someone and they withhold the information.

It’s important to do what feels best to you though! Just think this 👆is a valid point.

Is there a reason you don’t want to tell them?
