A little background. My parents worked for a company all their lives, the whole crew got hired after graduating out of university and stayed ever since. I grew up knowing each of them personally and their stories, families.
A new GM got hired and fired all of the people from the original crew, during a meeting, in the most embarrasing way. No gratitude was shown to these people who devoted all their lives to the company, through sick and thin, kept it afloat and gave their all. No ” thank you” , no “good bye”, no aknowledgment when they left the building, nothing.
When I worked Food & Beverage, it was a huge ordeal when someone had their last day of work. It came with many thanks, hugs, tears and whipped cream. And it was a seasonal job, where people come and go!!! Not a job where you work 40 damn years of your life, that you probably put first and before your family quite a few times. Maybe you even missed holidays or important family/friend milestones because of it. And all in vein.
Moral of the story? Stop giving your all to a job that won't even say “goodbye” when you leave. Stop falling into the career chase trap. Seek new experiences and don't stay with one company all your life, because it's convenient and comfortable.
No one is irreplaceable and no one cares about your service.
