Embarking on a new professional journey is often accompanied by mixed emotions—a blend of excitement for new opportunities and apprehension about bidding farewell to familiar faces. Ideally, we all hope to part ways with our employers on good terms, preserving professional relationships and leaving a positive impression behind.
Unfortunately, the reality doesn’t always align with our aspirations, especially when faced with a challenging boss who makes the process of departing gracefully seemingly impossible.
Recently, TikTok user Lauren (@bookhuddle) shared a video that went viral where she explains how her boss said she should pay for her FAREWELL LUNCH lunch since she was so successful now.
“Remembering the time my supervisor asked me to have a 1:1 farewell lunch when I gave notice to try pursuing my dream of freelancing full time, and when the bill arrived, he pushed it toward me and said, ‘Why don’t you get this since you’re so successful now?’”
