This like in the Seinfeld episode when George complains: what another gift? Just because he's moving (into a new apartment) he gets a gift? Birthday, this, that, the other other it never ends. Same: why do I care somebody quit/fired/whatever? Why do we gotta know about and it get involved? My large employer has a certain low, background level of turnover. Work there long enough and this will add up. A dear friend helps run a company where restructuring is going on with mid-high level people get cleaned out. This stuff is all over the place. Look, if you failed to have forethought to arrange for a new position ahead of time, failed to see this event coming, or don't have the contacts for a new position without blabbering on about publicly ... just come out and say: I want a position. I'm shopping. My CSV is <url-here>. Linked-in is nice I hear for things like that. There's a weird signaling of virtuosity or humble-bragging I'm sick of. Absolutely Fabulous had a nice line on this: you get your dry-cleaning back and it's a revolution. This was said sarcastically (because no it's not) by Pats ... because doing/improving things at work while important is not comparable to the rhetoric that currently passes for normal.
