a couple of time this year I have had ladies tell me about clients by name and where they work, like Tim Timson CEO of XYZ123 corp or Jay Jayson QB of XYZ professional football team. This is so not ok. It not only violates their privacy but makes me worry about mine. I am not looking to out anyone which is why the aliase. Also please do not bash other providers (very common) as you never know who we have seen and like, especially do not bash the ladies that were used as a reference. End of rant.

The need for discretion is very important on both sides.A previous clients info should never be discussed with another client there is no reason to do so.As far as the bashing of another provider not professional at all there is no reason to be discussing another provider keep personal feelings to yourself.But,another thing I have encountered is sometimes gents will be the one speaking negatively about another provider who in fact is the lady he used as a reference which I found very strange.Good enough to use as a reference but talk about her like a dog.I do not entertain these topics and move on to positive things and the fun the guy and I are having not about somebody else.Still not cool to be discussing personal info with someone else.Just my thoughts.
