[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be really worried that quitting prematurely would affect my new job offer - basically that the new employer would find out, judge me lacking and then renege on the offer.[/quote]

How on earth would the new job find out?[/quote]

If you haven't started yet, HR could call to verify employment or someone could call for a reference. "[i]Oh, Larla, yes she used to work here.  She quit 2 days ago.  Kinda left us in a jam with the annual conference.  What do you want to know about Larla?[/i]"[/quote]
If OP is quitting I doubt she is listing anyone at her current company as a reference. [/quote]

After a candidate has accepted, I always call former supervisors for a reference even if they're not listed by the candidate as a reference.[/quote]
Former. Not current. Also, if the candidate hasn't listed them as a reference, how would you even have their name and contact information?

I don't think Op should quit but I am not a fan of you doing this. If someone is leaving, there is a very real possibility that they have some difference with their boss, be that personal or professional. I had a former boss leave our company because her new boss bullied her. If you had called the COO to ask about my boss, you would've heard horrible things - even though my boss was beloved by the rest of us (and yes, the bad COO was eventually fired because without my boss, she started bullying others)[/quote]

I worked with people who used to do this.  They'd creep on LinkedIn and randomly email mutual connections or people who worked in the same department. It was sketchy and the people doing it were always causing drama at work.[/quote]
