| Mar 25, 2014 at 17:12 | comment | added | John Moore | Honestly? Why is it such a big deal if he bad-mouths the company you are going to? Unless you suspect he will actively sabotage your chances with the new job, why not just be honest with him? Tell him why you are unhappy with your current job and why you are looking to leave. Why all the subterfuge? | |

| Mar 25, 2014 at 13:54 | comment | added | aroth | Your friend was fortunate. A more intelligent/evil boss would, instead of badmouthing Company A and its CEO, contact Company A and badmouth your friend, disparaging their working abilities and perhaps alleging civil or criminal misconduct against them, in the hopes of making Company A retract its offer. I've seen it happen. Though it was ineffective, as everyone knew that the intelligent/evil boss was a pathological liar. | |

de-capitalized most words in title and de-walled the text in post for niceness

| Mar 25, 2014 at 13:34 | comment | added | Fad | When I initially posted the question, I was hoping someone could give me a solution on how to avoid the question altogether, but based on the current responses, it'd seem that keeping it as a secret when asked is an acceptable solution; Because my initial thought was, if I did that, that'd still make my boss suspects me of moving to company A, hence the question. | |
