Do you “like” or congratulate someone to their new job on LinkedIn that you fired from your team just prior? Nice / professional or macabre / rubbing it in?

Honestly I would not even bother contacting them out of respect. After breaking up with someone you don’t congratulate them when they get into a new relationship

Firing someone is traumatic. Every single woman I’ve fired has cried. Exactly, why would I remind them of the awful event? Lay-off is only slightly less traumatic. Still a lot of anger usually.

congratulate them. it’s the least you can do.

Better question. Why are you still connected with said person on LinkedIn? 🧐 If you fired them, move on with your life.

I would congratulate them instead of a like. A like could be mistaken as a passive aggressive gesture

And don’t congratulate them with one of those prewritten messages. There’s nothing as soul crushingly insincere as a string of identical “Congrats _____” comments.

Can depend on the context, why'd you fire them? If it was more of a lay off, then I'd definitely like it.

My first instinct was to like & congratulate - something I would routinely do with any of my contacts.

They were fired by one of my managers after 4 months on the job. Just not a good fit. No hard feelings but tough because the person also moved quite far for the role and now moved back.

I’m inclined to leave it alone. Removing them from my network also seems a strange move - who knows what the future holds?

Just leave them alone and let them enjoy the moment. If u really feel the need to reach out I’d shoot them a DM depending on how the partying went. ‘congrats and wish u all the best on your future endeavors, genuinely happy for u’

I like the personal DM. I’ll consider that.

Is the job better or worse than the job this person had with your firm? Did he/she likely receive a pay bump or take a cut?

What should I reasonably expect from a junior?

For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.

Hi... Anyone joining at UBS this week or next?

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns.

You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
