Related: About this forumSo I recently changed jobs, now a former coworker is stalking me
At 64 I changed jobs, in part, because the place I was working had become a toxic situation.
So I started looking and found a better paying job, a new adventure and a better environment.
Funny thing happened, the very person who was the biggest pain in the a$$ and big part of why I moved on now checks my LinkedIn profile every 3 hours.
I posted my change on there, dont know what he is looking for. Must be separation anxiety.
I dont know if I should appreciate the attention or fear for my life. When I left, I took a huge bank of knowledge with me, something the company took for granted until I turned in my notice.

This other person may be extremely jealous of you and will try applying for a job at your new company. How does he find the time to check on you on Linkd-in every 3 hours?

(60,869 posts)It is what will bite him, now that I am no longer there.
He always spends hours on his phone and then complained about the demands.
Not sure how he is handling the pressure now.

(7,773 posts)Looking at a page online is considered stalking nowadays? Since I don't engage in "social media" I guess I never thought too much about this. But putting a page online and making it public, and then people look at it, well isn't that sort of the point?
I dunno, I must be missing simething.
liberal N proud
(60,869 posts)He wouldnt talk to me when I worked there. Now he needs to know whats going on

(7,773 posts)Do people update linkedin frequently, typically, like facebook or something?

(855 posts)Your profile page is public. It doesnt have to be.
If you make false accusations or get him help by calling others to pursue this without anything else in evidence you may end up crossing a line of your own
do not make this situation you have described as toxic more toxic or complex.
Restrict your visibility settings if you want or block the individual or remove your profile if being viewed offends you.

(60,869 posts)But as I was doing that, it came up that you could request help for them.
It was like one of those evil moments that I never follow through on because I have morals
But after working with him for several years, he is neurotic and flies off the handle all the time.

(855 posts)People get neurotic and pent up in situations like that very easily. Best to let it simmer down on its own if possible, the more triggers pulled the worse things become.

(60,869 posts)Most of it actually.
I was the manager and he wanted to fight.
I was out the minute that my managers didnt back me up.
