Clearance issues

[Gabriele]

Some months back when I was working for another company and being persued by another, I found out from one security manager that a security manager at the company offering me a position had said to her that his company was getting an employee from her company. Of course I made known to both companies that I thought this was unacceptible and told the company I wouldn't be accepting their offer due to this incident (not zachry) and that it was iproper for a security manager to discuss my clearance with anyone, that my clearance was a matter of record with the agency that oversaw them, that it also jepordized my job if I had decided at the last minute to back out of the offer.

Has anyone else faced this situation and how did you handle it.

I think the security manager who spilled the beans should lose his clearance for even talking about it! But in todays world, where idiots like Karl Rove and Cheney can get away with giving up CIA operatives names and NOT lose their clearance, I doubt anything can be done about it. Even though you could lose yours for a much smaller infraction. :blahslap

Think about this. The only person for any company that has access to your clearance information, is the co. security manager. For hr mgr or any other person to recieve your clearance information is wrong all they need to know is do you have it are not.:wtf

All the security manager has to do is log into the proper site and get your information. If you have a security clearance and are not using it, it ends up on file so any security manager has access to it.

It is common practice for one security manager to contact another for information on someone. As long as top Secret is talking to a top secret, about a top secret or secret person. Some companys are only secret companys and some are top secret companys.

Take Care

Here's the bite,
Whenever you send a resume to another company, and indicate you have a security clearance, the FSO, or Facillity Security Officer for the new company, looks up your clearance level, date of indoctrination, date of expiration, and WHO holds it (Zachry, AES, PDI...whoever) on what is known as the JPAS system. If they look at an individual, a notice is sent to the holder of that persons clearance..standard procedure. For the FSO's to talk about it is still within parameters, as long as both have the conversation in a non-class matter. Most often, when you talk to an HR person, they cannot offer you a pay package if you cannot get access to the clasified information/clearance level required to apply for the project. All of this is normal procedure...I'm not saying what happened to you was right, but it may be considerded normal procedure, as I have had it happen to me also. You must specify, that you will not consider any proposal until you have had time to offer a 30 day notice, which is professional. You can sign, with the knowledge you are going to jump, but be careful not to look a gift horse in the mouth. Learn how to quit. I have quit a great job, thinking I was moving up, only to be unpleasantly surprised that the job was worse...how do you undo the wrongs? Sometimes, you just live and learn to grin and bear it.
