Shitty Colleagues

It’s crazy how before you leave your previous managers and colleagues offer support during lay offs but don’t follow through when you send them a LinkedIn message for support 🤣 I just find it hilarious… whatever blocked #layoff #doordash #shitty #managers

What support you looking for?

Support as in a simple recommendation or an opportunity to come back as the team is hiring.

Meta rEde88 Apr 24

Op you left them once causing inconvenience why would they make that mistake of bringing you back again?

They don't care about you man. There is no loyalty there is nothing. You are just means to an end to them, until you're not . I get how it sounds, but it's better to let it sink in and behave accordingly.

Lot of people confuse coworkers with friends. They are acquaintances at best. Coworkers will move on before you even sign out for the day.

This is the truth.

I can relate to this. I’ve known some leaders do it to only those whom they favour. Like if they belong to the same community, speak the same language, related or mentor them and suppress the others. Especially if the managers are women cat woman claws are all over. The minute some young lady leaves they go around telling rubbish that’s not even true.

That's so sad

Yup. Managers favor the “yes” man and dislike those sort of colleagues.

That s a mixed bag for me. I’ve got multiple colleague being super reactive and write great recommendations letter for new job opportunities. I’ve got some who let me on read on linkedin, they don’t even have 5 minute to help a fellow human being looking for a job.

While this is true for many of us, one thing to consider is human brain's limited capacity and the need to prioritize incoming information. Some of the ex colleagues, despite having good intentions would not have enough energy and priority to act on request of a person who is far outside immediate orbit. Best way is to keep trying. You never knows what works and when.

Many of them are probably scrambling to not be next under even heavier workloads :(

Meta last_pasta Apr 24

If they see the message and don’t even reply, that’s just lacking empathy. I doesn’t take a long time to type “let me look into this next week” or something. I wouldn’t wanna work with a manager like that tbh

If youre looking for camaraderie, join the military and make sure its not an office job. That sort of thing doesnt exist with civilians. Its as meaningless as their “thank you for your service” while you struggle to get back on your feet and find where you belong.

I am sorry but I can't understand that if someone can offer support publicly by sitting on a high horse why can't they do it privately?

Paysafe cdlo01 Apr 23

Because lot of people just care abt PR and looking good

The system promotes individualism and self-centered views on life and especially work. It is not surprising most people won't extend themselves beyond pleasantries. Sad reality - but they're not worth your time (as they've shown you aren't worth theirs).

Snowflake lPOL69is Apr 24

Yep, it show’ their true shitty attitude and how crap they are as a person.

Meta notshy Apr 24

Managers only care about pulse and upward feedback. Once you are out you are out
