Would you say both companies would be in competition with each other? If they are, the reason why the guys from your previous company dont work out is, the manager is saying great things about the crappy former employees, and bad things about the great employees (you).
You are right it is BS, and he knew your phone # cuz he knew not to pick it up, but when its a unknown # hes right on it.
I hate stuff like this, all the stupid games,
