I worked in a national store until last June when I saw a job in head office (part wfh part store) which meant I could now full time and earn a lot more plus I could be at home with my children.
A couple of my former colleagues have since asked me to let them know of any jobs come up in my department. One of these is having a change of circumstances which means they will have to commute for an hour to and from work in the near future.
A role came up in my dept, similar to mine but full time at home, so I let my former colleague know. I have since found out that the managers of my old store have complained to my managers that I was "poaching" their staff.
Was this the wrong thing to do? The member of staff has decided not to go for the job anyway, from my pov all I did was let them know about a role that would help them out massively with their change of circumstance and they aren't going to pursue it anyway.
