My previous company laid me off without notice, due directly to them overspending on marketing (a former coworker sent the notice that was provided to the remaining employees post layoffs as an update, 'overspending on marketing' was the jist)
For reference This is a company that DOES NOT provide professional references for employees that leave, however due to my circumstances of being laid off they promised me profusely that I could use them as a reference. GREAT NEWS! RIGHT? wrong.
These people did not answer or reply to a single email/call of any of the hiring managers who I was interviewing with. They blatantly said they'd provide references, and then chose to ignore them when it came up.
Flashfoward to today: I get an email as I begin my day at my new job that now pays me $5/hr more than my previous employer.
They informed me in the email that “several team members have resigned and that they are looking to fill the position and would love to have me back!”
THE AUDACITY
How do you tell a lay off to list you as a reference, then decide that you will not provide said reference, only to come back to the employee and beg them to come back after people quit??
I don't even know how to respond to the email lmao
