[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 left my my company because the CEO, who I reported to, was extremely controlling and manipulative. When I announced my departure he told another C-level he would "do anything" to keep me. When I left, he told me my new company was going to fail and I was going to come crawling back to him. It was like a bad relationship.[/quote]
