Long story,bear with me: I went for a post within my corporation-internally advertised. Same payscale, different area. I didn't want my team/line manager to know in case it made things awkward naturally. I didn't get the job, which I accept as what happens if another candidate did a better interview. However, I have just found out (from a friend) that the interview panel contacted my manager, (my referee) as he / she is senior member of the corporation-i think they wanted to get advice on the interview process-but I explicitly ticked in the application form' not to be contacted before interview'. I think it was an oversight of the panel, I think perhaps they didn't realise he / she was my referee. Either way, I have now been left in a tricky position in that my manager knows I have been going for other jobs. Not only is this awkward but I also fear it will affect any promotion internally. Wwyd? Am I in a position to make a complaint?
