I'm asking because after the fact, I did feel like I had done the wrong thing.  And, I wanted to get feedback in case this ever happens again.  (It has never happened to me before.)

The coworker did not ask me in advance if he could use me as a reference on job applications.

I've been at my agency a very long time and know that me sharing this information is not going to hurt him.  Yet, out of discretion, I think I should've kept quiet.

My boss thought this information should be shared with management probably because he thought they should be prepared for the possibility of him leaving soon.  But I'm not sure what can  (or should) be done until the employee actually gives notice.  But his comment made me think that, as a manager, maybe my loyalty should be more to the other managers/supervisors.  On the other hand, If I get a reputation among the staff as a gossip or tattle-tale, that could hurt me professionally.

Wow, what the fuck inspired you to tattle on your co-worker? What an asshole you are.

What is it with women and their inability to keep their mouths shut?[/quote]
