I left my previous employer citing personal family issues. They were toxic, I honestly wasn’t sad to leave. Now one week later, they text me saying they heard I’m working at a hospital in the area and “tell me it isn’t true.” Im not working there… but weird they would say that? And I don’t even want to answer but I also don’t want them to hate me and ruin my reputation as a therapist in this small town. Im still onboarding at my new job. How do I respond?

Who texted you? A friend/close colleague? Or someone higher up in the company? If it's the former, I'd be polite but vague in my response. If it's the latter, I'd ignore. It's none of their business and they're seriously overstepping here.

I’d just get into your new job and build relationships with the new bosses as quickly as possible. In my experience “I know people and can make it hard to find a job” is something assholes say when they can’t retain their people. And usually there’s no merit to it because other people know they’re assholes too.

People are weird. I mentioned seeing a former vender working at a dollar store and we had a nice chat. The next day the girl I talked to said she went to “a different store” and didn’t see her. She went to the wrong store, but why do that.
I would not respond.
