Firing someone, then making a post about it, complete with a photo of yourself at the end of the post for extra cringe.

People who brag about how they fire employees like this one come across as sadists/narcissists to me.

They are probably LI connected to the person they fired, in addition to that person's former colleagues. I cannot imagine logging in to LinkedIn to see a former boss telling the details of my dismissal to all of his (and some of my) professional colleagues, mining my humiliation for social media clout. I'm sure all his employees know *exactly* who is being discussed.

Like, the person has already been let go. You won, dude. Is it really necessary to make a spectacle of yourself as the centre of attention while rubbing their nose in it? Or it is supposed to be a warning to current employees about how you'll parade their flaws through the public square?

In cases of egregiously awful conduct, I might feel differently. But his self-congratulatory post seems unnecessary and a touch cruel.

I saw this. Not sure it's cringe, (maybe it is? Idk). It's a really tough situation to navigate as the boss. In many cases you do what you think is the best for everyone but still get branded the villain.

Tbh I didn't see or don't remember the selfie. Definitely make or break material, LI photos can be horrific 😂😂

I can't find the post. I think he blocked me for commenting. Can anyone see it??

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea.

Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

This one is going to make some of y’all mad, but it’s so annoyingly unnecessary. The most irritating part is “is it a shirt day or a skirt day”…. Like women don’t wear shirts with skirts and men don’t wear shirts with pants. Shirts and skirts are not mutually exclusive. I’ll just leave this here.

I woke up today tired.

My work cell was buzzing and then I remembered something.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard
