My last review I was put on a performance plan which came as a big surprise. I have only worked a year and previous manager always spoke quite highly. New manager took over just recently and claimed review was from previous manager. I said I didn’t believe it. The new manager reached out to the old manager to discuss the review. The old manager is at a different company, one that I had just applied to. Should they have reached out? Should I ask them to document it? Could it give me leverage for what seems like an upcoming termination?
Your current manager is allowed to reach out to your former manager, but you should ask for a copy of the correspondence. That said, if they refuse to provide it to you, you have no legal right to demand this correspondence. If you are terminated with cause, please contact our firm at the number below.
