Hope this question isn't too naive--but is jobhunting on the sly
pretty much the rule Out There?
Only one war story on this, and it's my wife's (she's in accounting). She
had the misfortune of working for someone who made the pointy-haired boss
look like Executive of the Year. She'd had enough and started to look, and
he found out. Unfortunately, he found a replacement for her before she
found a new position.
I look at it this way: it doesn't help to tell anyone, and it can quite
possibly hurt, so why do it?
Have fun,
