So I recently had an internal job interview. When I applied, I followed company policy and informed my supervisor. She, in turn, informed our group director. Both were anxious to keep me on, but supportive of my pursuing the interview.
During the interview, I was asked about what work I had been doing. I described one particular project that upset the interviewer. The next day, the interviewer went to my director and complained about the project, demanding to know why we were doing it, etc.
So here's my question: did the interviewer violate my work place rights in some way by discussing what was said in an interview with my director without asking me? Seems like that would be a breach of interview confidentiality. I don't really care; I don't plan to use the answer to cause any trouble. But I am curious if that sort of thing is allowed or not. I would think not, but law isn't my specialty.
