Is this taking it too far?

, who owns a recruiting agency in their hometown and has business connections in a lot of local industries, shared that their high school bully was looking for a new job."Mark is a guy who used to bully me in high school. I have OCD, and he would mess with me to try and get me to have some kind of breakdown. I'm also straight, but I had a bicurious phase filled with him calling me homophobic slurs.

But on the other hand, they said they would worry about what would happen if they helped Mark get a job, and it turned out that he hadn't changed his bullying ways."I have a professional reputation on the line, so if he's the same person he was in high school, I don't want him to fill any positions for my client companies, because I feel like he'll do a bad job and cause stress in the workplace.

Kind of a tricky situation, right? I decided to dive deep into the responses and see what others thought. Some said that if the poster sent the emails, they would be sabotaging their own reputation by being shady."I think it’s fair to bin his future resumes. I probably wouldn’t send the emails though. You have a real reason to toss his resumes, and you also have no obligation to hire him. Talking shit about him in a way that’s gonna be saved and recorded isn’t a smart thing to do, especially if you have a nice job and a lot to lose.

"I think YWBTA if you went to the lengths of telling everyone to throw away his CV as part of an attempt to manipulate his life because he was mean in high school. It's better to move on from these things than hold grudges forever." —"It would be unprofessional to blackball this person and would show that despite your success, you hold grudges from high school.
