About a month before my contract ended with Audible, a work friend told me she was trying to read the book Exit Interview by Kristi Coulter but found the author’s anecdotes so reminiscent of her own experiences it was upsetting to get through. I’d use the word “triggering” here, of course, but using the word triggering is triggering.
Thank you for this. I feel like I'm screaming into the wind ALL THE TIME about this brave new world of we need no actual people to work in corporations. The callousness of the layoff procedure is breathtaking. I can't wrap my head around the fact that the people who are in charge feel like this is a good way to treat each other. Especially when A LOT of the people who are in charge are our age, and our neighbors. It takes a lot of effort to not get drain circle-y when I think about it.
"What good are record profits if it means more layoffs?¹"
Agree!! Is all this good work just about making a few really rich people even richer? Infuriating!
And I'm really sorry about your job :(
