Add Comment Question: In the event I quit my job in Calgary and leave the company to apply to another company, is my previous company legally allowed to bad mouth me to my next potential employer to prevent me from getting hired? Answer: If your old company lies to the new employer in an effort to cast you in a negative light, you could have a claim for damages against your old company, particularly if the job offer is rescinded.
