Recently, a young woman shared her unpleasant experience after leaving a job she had been at for six years.\u00a0 The young Gen Z member was appalled when she wasn\u2019t thanked and didn\u2019t receive a formal farewell message after dedicating such a significant amount of time to the company.<\/p>\n
Keeley Pejovic shared her experience on the social media app TikTok after quitting her long-time job at Gold Coast Woolworths, where she had worked for most of her teenage years.\u00a0 Pejeovic complained that none of her managers or co-workers seemed to care that she was leaving.<\/p>\n
\u201cSix years, I quit and I did not get one single thank you or goodbye. Like no one gave a f\u2013k,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0she said.\u201cI was literally just existing at my job. To be there for six years and nobody could care less. The managers didn\u2019t say anything, no thank you, no goodbye, nothing,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0she continued.<\/p>\n Pejovic\u2019s post quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions from social media users, some of whom sympathized with her. In contrast, others suggested she get used to the harsh reality of the modern labor market.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cWelcome to the real world,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0one person commented.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cI can never understand why people expect anything when leaving a job,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0another individual said.<\/p>\n Other users seemed desensitized to such a workplace environment, telling Pejovic to tough it out for the next several decades essentially.\u00a0\u201cGet used to it, this\u2019ll harden you up & in 30 years time \u2013 trust me you\u2019ll be in a much better place, financially & emotionally,\u201d<\/em> one commenter said.<\/p>\n However, some commenters shared sentiments similar to Pejovic\u2019s, where they felt very much under-appreciated when exiting their jobs.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cMe the person who organized all of the farewell gifts just silently walked out on my last shift,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0one user said.\u00a0\u00a0\u201c7 years in my last job not even a card. Last thing my boss said \u2013 you\u2019ll be back,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0another\u00a0added<\/a>.<\/p>\n
