I kind of need some opinions on this. You'll need some back into first. In 2015 I started working with a very disturbed angry man. He was very demeaning and insulting and after 3 years I had enough and quit.
Fast forward to now and on Friday the 15th I applied for a job through indeed. Posting was gone following day. I get a text Tuesday from said old boss that says “I applied for this position and they are his neighbors, let's chat”
Ummmmm wtf
I call him and she's asking normal shit but since he can't remember he is asking me for the answers. He says he will write up an email and send to me to see.
Next day he calls. She is asking for more information. This question was a personal one that was only mentioned between him and I. Obviously being neighbors means you chat.
So now I'm weirded out because this company has NEVER contacted me and the posting is gone. I told ex boss that this wasn't in my resume and why is he being contacted about me when I've never heard from them? Anyway he flipped out then threatens to email the job saying I'm offended and stuff.
So here I am confused and really unsure wtf is going on and if this is normal. Honestly I don't want the job anymore knowing how shady she is and that everything I do will be told to ex boss who I want nothing with.
More info: ex boss is not a reference, has never been, nor is he mentioned in resume
