I (43,F) got a job at our competitive firm, same role, double pay.When I went to hand in my resignation letter, HR panicked. They said a 2-week notice wasn’t enough, especially during our busiest season. I didn’t really care.Then they added, “Betraying us and going to our biggest competition after 12 years won’t end well for you!” I just smiled and walked out.
But on my first day at the new job, something felt strange. Everyone in the office was staring at me. No warm welcome. Nothing.Then I froze when I received an email from my new manager. It said, “We sincerely apologize for having to withdraw our job offer. We received a letter from your former company with negative feedback, stating that your work was left incomplete. We wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors.”
