Email to marketing groups?

I’m the creative director for our marketing department (aka, we don’t have a marketing director and I’m a graphic designer, so they gave me a fancy title) and I keep getting emails from people trying to set up meetings to use their company for xyz. I’ll be leaving soon and starting a new job, and I’d like to thank these people for reaching out but also let them know what an awful (truly toxic and horrible) company this is and how they should turn and run the other way and never work with them. Any ideas for email content?

What Do We Want?

I will ask a few different things here, feel free to answer one, any, or all of them. For the sake of my (our?) benefit 'twould be nice to include industry and size of workplace. Let's say your workplace successfully started a union tomorrow, what would be the first things you sought from your employers as you leveraged your productive capacity? Let's say your goal was to start a labour union in your workplace. How would you go about starting? Clandestine? Openly? At what point, if at all would you get in contact with a labour lawyer (they consult for free)? How would you determine dues and what would they be put towards? Let's say your goal was to become a proponent of labour rights/unions. What would be your target demographic in the beginning? If not capable yourself how would you conjure up your propaganda? Freelancers? Writers? Local college students?…

I live every day in fear that i’ll lose my job snd my life will crumble

For context, i’m a 23M. I grew up under the expectation that I would be joining the service like the previous 3 generations in my family as a pilot however my home life was never good as a kid. Both parents walked out on me as a baby, was adopted by my grandparents who were very strict conservatives. I clashed with them hard as a teenager and despite being a straight A student through elementary and middle school, I gave up in high school. At 16 I dropped out and picked up work full time and have been working full time since. Fast forward to now, I make decent money working as an art framer. I absolutely love my job to death. Its fulfilling, I look at all kinds of beautiful art, photos, and trinkets all day, I craft stuff with my hands from scratch, and I get along fantastically…

Starbuck holiday hours

If I chain the doors and jb weld the rear door will workers get to go home for the holidays when they can't gain access to the store? I think people can make their own coffee for thanksgiving and chrimmus and the workers deserve at least those days. To be clear I do not work for Starbucks I just saw their hours for the holiday the other day and I think it's f***** up

In the mid-term elections, elect those that will fight for your rights.

I've been looking around and not many democrats or even republicans for that matter are not walking to support workers' rights. Being in a union should be a priority and it seems those running for seats are very quiet on that front. It's telling how much respect people get from those that want to control the masses.

When you get stood up for interviews by recruiters.

Science labor in America is extremely messed up. Bc scientists are a class of people that refuses to unionize in any way, they get SO mistreated. You get middle men staffing agencies coming in all the time, acting like real companies, when they are just fronting as the real company. They are actually just middle men contracted to get labor for the real company you are applying to. While you make 25$/hr, they get paid 10$ for every hour you work, rather than the company they represent, just hiring you and paying you 35$/hr. Fuck America. Education here does not prevent you from getting boned, if anything it makes you more of a target.
