myth··on Ask HN: Recruiter Blackmail
I told him at the end of last week that I didn't like the bait and switch he pulled on me and that I would not work with him again. I didn't take the call he set me up on. He said how he had to repair damage with the client he was courting with my resume.

He kept trying to pitch opportunities Monday to which I didn't respond.

He sent an email to my boss with my resume yesterday.

It's entirely too convenient to be stupidity.

EDIT: I just found out from my boss that there was no prior back and forth between the recruiter and him when the recruiter sent him my resume. My boss didn't respond to emails or calls. The recruiter just sent him my resume.

I even doubt incompetence. If he has my resume with my current job listed on it and pitches to that exact same job, it's purposeful and malicious.

I'd like to but they don't really have the right people to contact on their site. I also figured I should break off contact in the case that I speak with a lawyer. From what I've learned in the past, the next person to contact them should be a lawyer.

I told my employer I was planning on leaving, then changed my mind. Both my employer and I are happy with my work. I was seeing what else is out there. This definitely feels like malicious intent.

I'm not too worried about losing my job. I told my employer I was planning on leaving, then changed my mind. I'm part of the hiring committee for my current employer. So I was surprised when I saw my own resume sent out by my boss. I was able to piece together the timeline when my boss told me when the recruiter sent my resume to him.

If there ever were a service deserving of an indefinite DDOS, this would be it.

That's kind of like touching a boiling pot of water to see if it's hot. You know you're going to get burned, but you have to check anyway.

Excellent. I've been trying out Dropbox lately. I will give Box a go and do a write up comparing both.
