My former team is constantly stalking me on LinkedIn. It already hurts enough being let go and pretty much being bullied there. I just want to vent, I feel it’s so immature and high school behavior.

Reframe:
1. they are stalking because they want to know if you end up somewhere better.
2. Go end up somewhere better.
3. Let them stalk.
4. Be happy.
5. Ignore the haters. ✌🏼

Totally agree. They must be interested in you because they are not happy . I went through something like this (bullied by VP) and I left. I took the first job that somewhat interested me just so I could leave (and then found another job). I still have not unblocked :). We are here for you !

Sounds like being let go was a blessing in disguise. 🙌🏽 Roll with it!

Lift your head up; onward and upward. There is always a learning and silver lining to the bad experience. Time to change perspective and let go of all that. This is your chance for a new beginning; take it.

I really liked the advice of reframing. My mother taught me something a long long time ago. The best defense is an offense. Meet a bully head on. Wave at them? You see them looking at your profile ask them if they need something? Message them. Hi I noticed you looking at my profile. Do you need something? Do you miss me? Or you just don’t have anything better to do?

Then email their boss and tell him/her your co-workers seem to be trying to reach out to you to the point it seems like stalking. Is there anything abc company needs that you can help them with?

I think it would stop and you would feel empowered. Do something to make yourself feel like you are back in charge of your own destiny.

Good luck!

Block them, and unblock when you land a new job. Or don’t unblock at all

Your best bet is to block and ignore. Karma always catches up to people. Keep your path clear of toxic people and good things will come your way!

I’m sorry you’re experiencing all of this. Wishing you a better opportunity soon, as well as strength in your finger to block them in the meantime. :)

I agree with Consultant 1. It’s all about reframing. The haters can keep watching, especially when you move on to a better position at a better company. Still, given that they’ve bullied you in the past - if you find that this is seriously affecting your mood or job search, then go ahead and block.

Same thing happened here. Blocked them. I will unblock them sometime in the future. Remember that time heals all wounds

Boss has WFH for 9months. I have been WFH for 2-weeks for travel quarantine/state guidelines.

I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?
