I do the same. I have to. If the wrong people find out, they’d launch a social media campaign against my employer. I had to leave a previous high profile position due fallout from allegations of harassment against me. Some vocal people think I should never hold a job of any kind. Thank you Twitter and Facebook.
Why not just go and tell everybody you work for "FooBar Solutions" one town over? They don't have a website? Well we are early stage, just gathering money, so no time yet for a website. And you should have most people off your back.
Having experienced something like this with my last SO, I feel you though, OP. It's something that can stay on your mind constantly and is very worrisome at times. Hope you hid your tracks for good or he lost interest.
Well that was disappointing. Here I thought I would get a wonderful explanation about ego and how western culture is all about work and we have no personality outside of our jobs.
But no, just a stalker. Something you can solve with a restraining order. Not something you need to move jobs for.
A restraining order is just a piece of paper. It solves very little in the face of a determined 'admirer', and stops nothing. Yes it MAY give the police/legal system recourse AFTER the subject breaches the terms, but in the meantime the terms are breached (at varying levels of severity/urgency) and the police are minutes away at the very best of times.
I found this interesting because, this is a man who's left his job and went a little bit 'dark' because of a mentally-ill former colleague who got obsessed with him - how many women are out there who left jobs because of creeps or stalkers, and then went 'dark'?
