I just found out that in my terms of employment, if I'm looking for another job outside of my company, I can't list any current employees as references. And I can't provide a positive reference to other employees who are interviewing elsewhere.
Who comes up with these Draconian policies? I want to meet the guy who came up with this. I want to talk to him. I want to find out what horrible childhood traumas he's endured to feel it necessary to abuse normal working people who are just trying to make a better living for themselves.
