I've never seen or heard an employer comment on an ex-employee's new
job, /especially/ when there were clashes or dissatisfactions. What
business of Wendell's is Fenton's new job? The example Ray posted so
admiringly, where an employee leaves "to pursue other options," is a
meaningless space-filler. It is the job of the new employer to discuss
the ex-employee's new job. That Councilwoman Blackwell has done.
Every workplace I've ever worked in gets calls from people trying to
reach former employees. The standard answer is, "X no longer works here.
I am Y. Can I help you?" Very seldom do we refer to the ex-employee's
new job.
Ray, have you ever held a supervisory position -- at Penn, or anywhere?
Do you have any personal experience with the duties that fall on people
who hire and fire people?

Actually, let me clarify. When one of my colleagues left for another
position recently, we posted information on our website about her
departure and her new position. HOWEVER, she left us on "amicable"
terms, and and not only agreed to but approved the text of what was
posted.
If there is one thing that is very clear in this situation, it is that
Mr. Fenton's departure from UCD was not amicable.

Which if true doesn't address Kathleen's point as to the source of the
information - the former employer, the employee or the new employer.

in the news it's quite common to read about people working in
non-profit organizations who resign their positions and go on to do 'x
y or z'.
yes, it is.
it's even quite common, in the news, for the resigner's employer/boss
to say a few words about the person resigning.
yep.
and when you DON'T read about these details, in the news, when there's
a resignation, that, too, is news.
uh-huh.

[ps melani: no, fenton's new job was not announced in uc
review. the headlines in its last issue, june
20, were WHERE IS JOHN FENTON? remember? and
shareiff announced to this list on the
evening of the 20th that as of the 20th fenton
was working with blackwell. so john's good news
couldn't have been in uc review until this week.
and in this week's issue, wendell never makes
mention of it.]
