As title.
Handed notice in today and manager has put in a call for the morning to discuss, I know of course on of the first questions will be to ask where I’m going. All advice I see online says not to tell them.
Is there really a worry in the Uk that your current company would do something to stop you getting your new role? Isn’t there laws around that?
Also, my new company will surely be ringing up my old company at some point in the next couple weeks for a reference check, so wouldn’t they find out at that point anyway?
Can you really hide where you’re going in this day and age? Thirdly, it’ll be on my LinkedIn in a few months anyway after probation so they’d find out then regardless right?
So pros and cons? Should I tell them or not? My only concern on the not telling them is it’d come across as abit weird from my end, like why are you keeping it a secret? Don’t want to burn any bridges, I’ve quite enjoyed my time here.
