It's always amazing to me to see people bad mouthing their former employers in this way. Either you're burning bridges or you're not, and this kind of comment seems like a "you won't be employed there again" comment, but if you're going to do that why hold back?
- gowld 3y agoHe's a VP. They have nothing for him. He's telling them the price if they want him back.
- aaomidi 3y agoHonestly, if your first reaction to someone doing this is to never hire them again, you’re going to surround yourself with people that will never tell you when you’re fucking up.
- SilverBirch 3y agoThere's a difference between constructive and necessary feedback delivered discretely, and destructive unnecessary feedback deliverd in public. Do you think this public statement is going to be more effective than a serious considered conversation with senior management before he left? I don't think so. What purpose does making this public serve other than to try and raise his own profile?
- aaomidi 3y agoYes actually. If you believe that your management chain is ignoring you, in a public company you’re looking out for the shareholders by making a case for ineffective management. I’m not saying that’s happening here. But you asked for what purpose does making this public serve.
- SilverBirch 3y agoHe doesn't work there any more, he doesn't have an obligation to the share holders and publicly trashing management is as likely to lower the share price as to raise it.
- aaomidi 3y agoOkay? But it’s a signal that something is going wrong. They have a right to express how they feel about the company. They don’t owe anyone niceness.
- olliej 3y agoCorporations aren't people and if you bad mouth the company, especially in a way that gets press attention, someone in HR will put a mark on your record. Either a no hire, or a "requires executive approval", neither is helpful in future job applications. That said I didn't realize this was apparently a VP position, and execs live in their own consequence free world.
- aaomidi 3y agoWhich is my point. This way of thinking is the beginning of the end for any company that does it.
