Call for stories - HR Presentation Research

Hi everyone! I'm starting to begin research for a presentation I'm giving next year. The topic is about offboarding and its importance. If you have any stories you would like to share around that topic please DM. I don't want to give away much more publicly so if you're interested in hearing more so you can share let me know!

Oh yeah. I just got laid off. They told me my last day would be November 8. I tried to log in on November 4 and my email and computer were wiped. Turned out they changed their minds and all laid off employees' last day was November 1... no one told me. And they hadn't sent me my exit paperwork or the information to roll over my 401K, so I had to try for two days to get someone to forward me paperwork and explain what happened. They had just forgotten about me. There are only 24 people in the company and 4 of us were laid off. I'm not entirely sure how with those ratios you just FORGET about one of the people you're laying off.

Omg I’m so sorry that happened!!! How do they forget people period (cause that’s their job) but especially when there are only 24 people. I had a place where they stopped paying us, so I resigned, but before I could finish my work they locked me out too. They were being catty on purpose in my case. Thank you for sharing! I’ll be sure to use this somehow. I hope the best of luck for you in your job search!

Oh no! That's terrible. Yeah, once I finally got someone to talk to me, they at least apologized for the miscommunication/lack of communication, but still. Wicked frustrating. Thanks for the good wishes. And good luck to you on your presentation.

I'd be more than happy to share my stories. After 20 years in HR, I have some off boarding horror stories that still serve as cautionary tales!
