Good on them for offering proper severance. At my company, we got 2wks and nothing else. Not even a thoughtful letter from the CEO. Nothing. (And this was a sizable tech company in the middle of an IPO).
- ctvo 4y agoAny reason to protect them here vs. sharing their name?
- molsongolden 4y agoMany severance agreements prohibit sharing details of the severance agreement.
- hajile 4y agoSounds like they didn't get a severance agreement.
- Dalewyn 4y agoBurning bridges who might have been references for subsequent employment is almost never a good idea. There is always a time and place, of course. But generally speaking, you don't speak ill of your (former) employer or even talk about it publically lest there be ramifications beyond your imaginations.
- des429 4y agoSpeaking ill? He’s speaking literally about what THEY did lol. There’s nothing subjective about it.
- 8note 4y agoDespite specifying what they did, it's still framed in a negative way
- bastardoperator 4y agoIf reality hurt's their feelings, maybe they should change their ways.
- sigg3 4y agoIt might hurt the feelings of HR at the new place where he wants to apply though. No one disagrees with you in principle, but there are realcitrant social practices punishing this kind of feedback. It is always taken as a grudge rather than an observation, and this makes you less attractive as a hire.
- Dalewyn 4y agoThis goes the other way too: Generally speaking, companies are expected to refrain from negative commentary when contacted as a reference by subsequent employers. The only exception, and seldom done, is if the employee was terminated due to egregiously bad circumstances. That is to say, (former) employee doesn't speak ill of (former) employer and (former) employer doesn't speak ill of (former) employee. It's how society keeps itself oiled.
- tablespoon 4y ago> Burning bridges who might have been references for subsequent employment is almost never a good idea. He's not burning bridges if he uses a throwaway, or otherwise doesn't attach his name to his report. But looking at his comment history, I'm guessing he's talking about Tempo Automation (TMPO).
