I wanted to run a scenario by you that happened to a friend of mine the other day. He told me that one of his direct reports had asked him for a reference for a part-time weekend gig to make some extra money. He said that this staff member was a high performer – in fact, he views him as being one of the best – and so therefore he didn’t have any qualms about giving him a reference.
Fast forward to a few weeks later and this same employee is tendering his resignation and it turns out that it is a full-time job. And my friend learned that he was lied to, that staff member lied to him about it being a weekend job. My friend feels betrayed and he feels shame, he is saying that they’re now losing one of the best staff members. And he has a mind to call back the woman in HR of the other job that he gave a reference to and tell her what happened.
What do you think he should do? Should he call her, or should he just bite the bullet and take the loss? I’d love to hear what you say about it.
- People I hire keep leaving for grad school
- How do I get out of sympathy hugs?
- I get second and third interviews but no job offers
- Our meals aren’t reimbursed when we travel for work
At the end of this episode, I also talk about why I decided to end the show (spoiler alert: workload and a desire not to burn out).
If you’re sad to be losing the show: You might like the audiobook version of the Ask a Manager book, which is nearly seven hours of similar audio content. (That’s like 14 more episodes!)
You can find transcripts of previous episodes here. The transcript for today’s show will be released in the next week.
my employee lied about a reference was originally published by Alison Green on Ask a Manager.
