Given it's a person from a recruitment agency, I wonder if they intended to double dip, get the poor sap fired then try to both fill the new vacancy they created and help the poor sap they got fired land a new gig through them

Ah, so they’re self serving as well as being a narc? I hate recruitment consultants.

Recruitment agencies, and estate agents, two kinds of people that only exist because they've decided the job needs to exist rather than any explicit need, and then other people have decided to make use of their services, even though they're shit. So now we have to deal with them.

I rate estate agents slightly higher - not everyone wants to or can show people around their home. And I suppose they can help you navigate the legal parts of the process (I’m just guessing here, I’ve never owned property). But there is absolutely no need for recruitment agents for anything but the most niche situations. The job could disappear tomorrow and nothing would be lost.

I have my doubts whether they are from an agency at all
