If your manager retaliates against you for leaving her team, in the form of telling your new manager that you didn't do well (despite evidence on the contrary including an exceeds expectations rating), what would you do? Should you even do anything?

    This happened to me. My manager said I should go for promo and then two weeks later he gave me a low meets. What changed? I told him I wanted to leave the team. He met with my new manager and told him I had performance problems. I told my new manager exactly what I just said here. He mostly believed me, but I never felt that he really trusted me. After a year and a half, I wanted to go up for promotion, but my new manager discouraged me. I went anyway, got the promotion, then changed teams again. Finally, I got clear of that first manager's poisonous suggestion. Finally, I have a manager who doesn't seem uncomfortable everytime he speaks to me. Weird twist is that the first manager reached out to me a few days ago to congratulate me on a big launch. First time we spoke since he tried to blackball me years ago.

    Happened to me.. I left a very bad group with some very bad hombres. Afterwards this group was ridiculed in TGIF meetings in front of the company, high level execs were demoted, and I wasn't surprised at all, kind of expected it, hence why I left. Just do a good job and let your manager do the math.

      Softies migrate everywhere and ruin experience for others. Amzn was a good place to work until it was inundated by the softie crowd bringing their nasty brand of politics. Thought that msft now empty maybe a good place to work but looks like the less nasty ones moved to Amzn and Google/ FB.
