Partner from my previous company is texting me about how ‘the team is cleaning up the mess I left behind’. Agree on the mess part, but should I say anything back to the big dawg here? Thinking: New Fone, Who Dis?

Let’s just say calling it a ‘mess’ is a major underrepresentation of the situation lol ☠️☠️☠️

It's remarkable that Partner has nothing better to do with their time.

Honestly, as much as you want to, don’t. Unless it’s to try and fix something you broke. It’s a small world and you’ll be back with those people in a way you wouldn’t expect at some point in the future. You think you won’t, (I’m never going back to ABC Company!) but suddenly that company is hired to do a different project for your new company, or you make a move in ten years and one of your new co-workers is from that project, etc.

I used to believe this but not anymore.

Things don’t change unless you do something about them.

If it were me, I’d make a new LinkedIn account and post it - with the partner name and tag the company

I’m hoping you have a friendly relationship with this partner

And that explains why you left that company!

What a childish move - how did that person become partner?
Ignore it for sure.

Leave it alone!

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later.
