Work and Family: Never name-drop

Never name-drop

By Kayla - 16/01/2021 11:02 - United States - Wenatchee

Today, I had a job interview. I have another job I want to leave, but haven't said anything yet. At the interview, I mentioned where I worked, and the interviewer name-dropped my manager. She then told me he was her step brother. So much for not wanting my manager to know. FML

Today, I went out to meet a wonderful woman I'd chatted with online. I did have a few fears about if she was really just some guy trying to make a fool out of me. When I met her, she really was a girl, and was happy to see me. Problem: she was actually 13. I'm 34. FML

If you saw that documentary "Step Brothers" by Will Ferrell, you'd realize they are usually enemies, so your secret is safe.

In an interview, you could request in a polite way they not contact your current employer, and she, if she has any integrity, wouldn't contact your manager, even if he's family. You would just explain that you'd like to notify your employer you're searching only when you're ready to submit a resignation and have references from previous employers, etc. A bit of bad luck that she asked if you knew him and he was your manager, but you should be able to handle the situation.

It depends on how professional they are. I'd say you have a pretty good chance of them NOT saying anything, On the other hand, they probably won't hire you in order to keep things from being awkward.

Today, I feel like I'm going crazy as I'm in a 2-year relationship with a guy who's 17 years older than me (I'm 23). He's a wonderful partner and I'm totally in love, but the age gap causes monthly, sometimes daily, shifts between wanting to have it all with him, and wanting to leave him. FML
