The contacts I still have in some corporations for which I have done consulting state off the record that "blackballing" between employers still exists. Can I "prove" it? No. Never claimed that. Do I want to try to prove it? Not interested. Happily out of that jungle. But, to deny the possibility is to deny reality.

One clue that such actions are still around might just be the slow disappearance of the so-called "middle class" from an economic standpoint. Once again, "unprovable", but worthy of consideration. This kind of action is insiduous and clandestine. No one openly speaks of it, and we all have seen what happens to "whistleblowers" when someone tries (and a few are really sincere) to make it public.

My personal viewpoint is that the entire system is heading for an eventual meltdown. When, I can't say. With any luck, I will be pushing up daisies when it happens.
