My friend was let go from his position. On his last day, the social team pushed recycled content from a few years ago featuring him talking about the company’s strong continuous investment in living its core values and building an exceptional culture.

Good lord - a couple of months back, someone I know started at a company I’d left in 2022. They sent me a photo of their laptop screen with me speaking to the positive working environment and engaged management as part of the onboarding videos - I think it was recorded just before Covid, also known as 3 CEOs and a complete turnover of senior leadership ago. Not as bad as your example, but still…

Celebrating an individual who is subjected to involuntary leave is a kick in the a** on their way out the door. This type of gesture makes others feel better about the situation but rarely serves the individual. It’s just tacky.

Well, I was the guy that comped funny/bespoke images for people’s leaving cards. Did dozens on them.

When I left, I didn’t get one. Was I supposed to do my own?

I’ve been working at my current job for going on four years now. After COVID I took on a lot of responsibility at work and was given a promotion to senior case manager.

I’ve tried to ask for a raise on several occasions but I was told that it’s not in the budget every time. What should I do?im 28, should I just take my experience elsewhere?
