OK then
I wasn’t responsible for someone at my company getting let go. Or for getting their job.
Maybe they were forced to hire me. I don’t know. What I do know is they faded while I shined. That was beyond my control.
In any event, I genuinely like this person and want the best for them. So when I heard they are looking for freelance, I put a really good freelance job opportunity on my social media wall.
It was meant for this person to see. And I didn’t tag them or contact them directly. Just trying to be nice from afar.
And here’s how that worked out for me …
The person viewed my profile (again) … and unfriended me.
I mean, whatever. But I generally stay connected to folks just in case.
You know, just in case they can lead you to another job.
Just when I think I can’t be surprised anymore, the universe always says “challenge accepted.”
