I have a seasonal job which I love but it doesn't provide support to me in the winter/early spring months which is why I am looking for another job. I recently applied for this full time position (which, after careful consideration I am turning down). The manager asked that if I found a better offer elsewhere, would I quit the seasonal job? I said "yes." He said he would be calling my seasonal job as a reference. Can he tell them that I had intentions on quitting? Please tell me know! Because that's not true and I'm too chicken to contact them and ask. They know I am looking for a job and I told them that I wanted to say a few months ago..

I think being rung up for a reference might give your boss a clue. If it happens say it is for a winter job and you have turned it down.
The guy should not do that unless you have accepted an offer of employment. Do you want to work for someone like that! Perhaps he was annoyed that you turned the job down. Drop a polite note say that although you turned down the job because xxxx, you would still like to work for his company. Would he mind not obtaining references from your current employer as you need to keep that job whilst you search for another. A good future employer will understand your need to pay the bills.

If the person at the new job has any smarts, he won't say that. He cannot read your mind that you are quitting for his job. After all, you told him you would leave the seasonal job for a "better" opportunity, and that doesn't mean his job. If you lost your seasonal job because of his remark, you could sue him for it. However, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that if you are looking for another job, you are going to be quitting soon.

Y'know...these days EVERYONE is constantly looking for new jobs..you have to...most employers understand this. By simply working there, you have leverage. Unless there are 10 people sitting at home just waiting to snatch up this amazing job...I wouldn't worry...Your employer might even keep you longer than the season...who knows?
Good Luck!

Yes, they can. It would be best if you called the other place up and told them you are no longer interested in the job. Why make them go through the effort of a background check if it's not going to be something you would take?

No the company has no rights to call your current employer even if you've provided their contact details as reference. Its unethical. They are only allow to call your current employer when they have offered you the job and you've accepted by signing the agreement. Other than that, no, they have breach the Code of Conduct.
