A TikToker user in New York filmed himself being fired, and those who saw the video on social media flooded his comments section with his reaction.
the creator (@employee) He uploaded the clip on Dec. 26 and it’s already been viewed 10.5 million times. She records a conversation with people in higher positions in her company who conveyed the message and asked, “What is this meeting? My promotion? »
After a nervous laugh, his boss revealed that he had just been fired and before management could go through the list of criteria included in his severance package, he dropped the phone and stopped filming.
His video received many negative comments towards ‘Corporate America’. People associate this phrase with an entity of people in power, writing that it makes them sick and it hurts to hear it.
One user replied, “Why does every layoff meeting look and act the same? This is exactly what happened with me. It’s like they have a script. »
To the overwhelming response, TikToker unveiled a sequel on Dec. 27 to explain what happened next and said he stopped recording because he was “about to have a nervous breakdown.”
“My boss then told me I was taking four weeks off, which was really great,” she said, then I replied, “I feel really bad for you because I know how hard it is to let people go, and I just want to say you are soldiers and go ahead.” Good job. I think being an empath has its downsides. ”
Concerned viewers took the time to praise him for how he handled such a difficult situation.
“Being able to react like this in this situation is a sign of strength. Good things to you, good luck,” one person wrote.
Others applauded the way she kept her cool, and her questions about how they were feeling were a sign of her “cold personality.”
While many wrote that he took care of it, some added that his bosses didn’t care, “cutbacks give them bonuses” and “few” would have done so a few days before the holidays.
The creator transforms his pain into strength and uses it in his last attempt: stand-up comedy.
