Today, during work hours, I took time off and discreetly went for an interview for a prospective job at our rival company. As soon as I reached the place, I bumped into my current boss. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a call from the only company that asked me to come in for an interview of the many applications I submitted. I answered it even though I was at my current job. My boss heard and chewed me out. The call was to cancel the interview since the position was filled. FML
Today, while waiting for an interview at the career that I've been spending months tailoring my résumé for, I was thrown up on by my only competitor. Guess who got the job. FML
Today, I interviewed potential employees for a job position that I was supposed to get promoted to. FML
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, while at work, my ex-boyfriend came in. I pretended not to see him, hoping he would just pass on by. No such luck. He stopped to tell me that he was there for orientation. My company hired him. FML
Today, it's job interview day. In the elevator on the way there, I overheard potential candidates talking about the boss of the company, mocking his alleged lack of credibility. Who's the boss? Me. They don't know that yet. FML
Today, I went for a job interview. I'd resigned at my current job and applied for somewhere closer to home. They hired me on the spot, and as I was leaving, I saw my abusive ex-boyfriend working in the store. So… now I'm working alongside my ex who abused me for two years. Time to apply elsewhere. FML
Today, I snuck out of work 2 hours early. As I was speeding away so I wouldn't be seen, I rear-ended my boss as he was leaving the lower parking lot for a late lunch. FML
Today, I found out my ex is applying for a job at my current company. She may become my boss. FML
Today, I sneaked off work early. As I was in the elevator on the way down to leave, it stopped at my boss's floor, and he got in. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I have the same question. I don't think competitors have meetings, do they?

There are times execs from rival companies will meet -one company is looking to absorb the other -settling a lawsuit -maybe if there's a project so big it will require a joint venture it's actually not that uncommon

my bosses sometimes visit our direct competition to observe their operations. A lot of times it shows them things we are doing right, doing wrong, and sometimes ways the other place is doing wrong so we avoid those pitfalls.

You kind of deserve it for sneaking off work but like #1 I'm wondering why your boss was there

How would that be possible?

Well it's a great way to make money. Own bought places. And if there's a rival it's because you want both places to do really well and sell of as many products. Then you let the money roll in. Or he was looking for a job to because his company is going down or he is about to be fired. Or he's undercover Or well the possibilities are endless

YDI. That's what you get for sneaking off..

I'm guessing op was allowed the time off, but obviously doesn't want their boss to lnow why, hence sneaking

Maybe your boss will get the job and you'll get his job.
