    Default Is a Business Liable to You if They Tell Your Current Employer That You Interviewed

    My VP called me out and was pissed that I interviewed with another company. I had one very short phone call and told them I was not a fit, and they they shared this with my current boss. Is there any legal recourse here?

    Thanks!

    Assuming that you are in the United States the answer is no. No federal law nor any state law prohibits a prospective employer from contacting your current employer.
