100% right. I had a co-worker who worked for a different manager but I thought was a friend. Asked him about a job with another company because he was plugged into the market. He told my boss I was looking for another job & the manager confronted me and I denied it. Manager said he believed the other employee and said they were cancelling my $10k training so I took the other employee into a networking closet and we had a coming to Jesus meeting. Ten minutes later, his manager called me into his office & asked me if I used foul language with the weasel which I denied. Valuable lesson on who & what you share with co-workers.
Why did you have the second meeting with him, when you knew he was a louse?
