Employee discreetly looks for a new job, then discovers a hiring manager contacted their boss and revealed their intentions, boss confronts them: ‘Not cool’

It is no secret that looking for a new job is always better while you are still working in your current one. The job market is hard enough, you shouldn't put necessary strains on yourself no matter how urgent you feel like you need to get out of your current workplace. 

That being said, searching for a new job while working in another is no picnic. Not only is it extremely time-consuming and mentally draining, but you are also treading a very thin line. You have to be extremely discreet while job hunting, so no one in your current job finds out. That means doing job interviews from home (or hiding in the office's supply closet, if you have no other option), avoiding conversations with your boss as much as possible, and generally keeping your head down.

Even if you do all that successfully, there is still a chance your boss will find out about your intentions of leaving the company, which happened to the employee in the story down below. Keep scrolling to read how that happened.
