Same thing happened to me - dumped by my almost fiancé, laid off from the start up I worked at, and then went through major medical problems. You will make it through! I promise. It was the longest year of my life but I ended up where I needed to be. As will you. Sending hugs.

*hugs* that is brutal my friend. Nothing I can say will make it immediately better. I will give you my thoughts - what I found over my 35 years is the closed doors and the broken relationships in my life have been some of the best turning points and most life defining moments. What you see as failure now is in fact opportunity. And there is a huge rush in pulling yourself out of the hole you are in and making a come back!! You got this Op! Drinks on me ;)

Sounds like a hallmark card but I swear it's true.

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle? What happens if what the employee said is slanderous and a “he said/she said” situation? I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?

I work in an internal strategy group at Deloitte in the part of our business we refer to as “enabling areas”. We “borrow” people all the time from Deloitte’s Consulting practice (e.g., on short or longer term rotations paying an internal hourly rate to Consulting) to support our internal strategy projects, and I know other internal teams do this too. Do the internal teams do this at PwC? Hubby is on the bench at Strategy& and I keep telling him to look into this as an option…
