If you knew in advance about being laid off, how would you YOLO the exit interview? (lemmy.ca)

I am fairly sure that I am being laid off with other Sr. Engineers tomorrow and need some ideas. Basically, I saw a calendar mistake by HR, so oops!

Meh. It's gonna suck for a bit, but whatevers. Life is more important than a shit job. :)

I wouldn’t.

Don’t burn bridges unnecessarily. You never know when a person involved will be somewhere in your future and leaving a good impression on them may have positive benefits.

YOLOing an exit interview and doing it Half Baked style means everyone’s last impression of you is very negative. And the only benefit you get it a bit of catharsis.

Instead, be polite and positive. Then go to Reddit and unleash hell.

I had a client do a back charge on me about 7 years ago. Found out that my current employer was going to hire them for a project. Sent a little email to the sales person and project manager

"I have worked with these guys. They are scammers. If you proceed with them get everything in writing".

Guess who didn't get the project.
