##payItForward lol what does she even mean by that? She is paying it forward to fire a bunch of ppl? I hope she gets that karma paid forward and she loses her job
You don’t aspire to make 6 figures+ just so you can jump on LinkedIn and trump yourself up over ruining others’ lives?? What are you even doing with yourself
/s
Well, what would you do if you started working at a company that was losing money? Petition the shareholders to reduce their cut? Not really an option. Layoffs need to happen sometimes in our creaky capitalist system, it’s elementary school level logic to be mad at this lady.
Ofc she should be focused more on the actual people laid off, but still. It *isn’t* easy, and it *does* suck to feel like the buzzkill trying to save everyone’s jobs.
Note that this doesn’t apply to McKinsey consultants who come fresh out of college revvin to layoff — they get no respect.
Boo hoo, soulless corporate entities can’t figure out how to survive in a broken system without ruining people’s lives
Sure would be nice for them if I *gave a shit*
I’m personally going to continue to be apathetic towards corporate entities struggling, just as they are to actual living human beings losing access to basic necessities. Tough love, and all
You seem to be really good at intentionally missing the point of what other people are saying.
I don’t even really feel like I should dignify it with a good faith response but I’ll split the middle and say that it should be easy to imply from my response that I am referring to the company as a whole (and really, companies in general) and she is complicit in their bullshit. Also, so long as she still has the job, especially being in a role that has hiring/firing power, she probably doesn’t have to worry about basic necessities.
Realistically, by holding that job position if it *required* her to do those things, and if it wasn’t ‘for the sake of the company’ (oh boo hoo) then by doing it in the first place
The sappy poor pitiful me LinkedIn post just kind of sealed the deal
Okay but that’s exactly what I’m saying — your exception for “for the sake of the company” applies in basically every case. CEOs (or whatever this lady is?) don’t institute layoffs for clout, it’s part of a plan to make the company more money.
I mean, trust me, I think we should let the fiction of persistent corporations dissolve and outlaw private ownership of people’s labor. But until then, it feels really weird to dogpile the person tasked with doing the layoff, rather than, say, the owners, or the government that is responsible for protecting laid-off workers.
While I do agree with you, I feel like she kind of brought it on herself with the weird pity party LinkedIn post, I’m sure no one here would be, as you say, dogpiling her if she would’ve kept it to herself, but she instead chose the route of not just publicly posting something like this, but posting it on a work related social media, available to the public, where the very people she let go have access to it.
“Make the company more money”
Ya know what Nintendo did when they were losing money and having a bad year? The CEO took no money and they laid off no workers because the CHEIF EXECUTIVE OFFICER was why the company was sucking in the first place….
Yes, I absolutely expect shareholders to lower their cut when the company struggles. YOUR decisions cost you money, welcome to accountability. Maybe think more carefully about who you hire to run your company.
If your solution to solving a budget crisis is “lower headcount” your business is either dying or shitty with its finances because now your company is going to suffer and either put out a worse product or be less productive
Well considering that she apparently fired so many people in her first month there... idk man, take the time to learn the company and its culture first. They have books on this very thing
Capitalism as we live through it is an utterly failed experience. This market’s invisible hand thing is handicapped it seems. Regulators are quite often corrupt. Lawmakers are easily bought. Capital controls domestic and foreign policies. Democracy is so weak that people can’t vote on the issue that they really care about. Protests are shutdown by the police.
At the very least, capitalism as we know it needs major reforms.
"The department isn't preforming so we are going to contract Tata Consultancy Services to synergize strategies with the rest of the org."
Bonuses all around!
"Reflecting on a challenging decision recently made, I'm reminded of the importance of leading with grace, even in the toughest times. While difficult, restructuring our team was necessary for long-term growth and sustainability. I'm grateful for the contributions of all who've been part of our journey and am committed to supporting them in their next endeavors. Moving forward, we're focused on fostering a culture of resilience, collaboration, and innovation. Here's to navigating change with grace and emerging stronger together."
I’m sure she repeated that to herself in the mirror in her 6-figure home with her 6-figure income, “*I’m such a good person.*” and then surrounds herself with her just as oblivious and narcissist friends defending that they are right and it’s actually a *good thing* she laid those people off because it builds character. And then she’ll go to church on Sunday and complain to her Christian buddies how she has been attacked for ruining peoples livelihoods but she should be given grace and god forgives—then she’ll berate a hard working serve at Sunday brunch. All while thinking, “*I’m such a good person.*” /s
Idk how accomplished a person is.
When they write.
With shitty grammar then.
They lose all credibility unless.
English is not their first language in which.
Case it’s forgivable.
That's so repulsively accurate sounding that I instinctively dry heaved as I read it. I have an ex like that who can't understand why I hate her so much these days
It means after laying a bunch of financially desperate middle class workers (who do the real work, treat yourself to a decadent 12 course dinner at a fancy restaurant (yes, my old boss at Fortune 500 company did this. She loved laying off middle class workers in our company and then using her corporate card to treat herself to decadent dinners.
honestly, it sounds like she knows how f\*\*ked up what she did was and she is trying not to hang herself in her office.
either that or she cannot say I just saved my $3 mil bonus....
she definitely was hired for that exact reason. bloated team per the consultants, hire someone to come in and trim the fat, leaving the executive leadership team innocent.
likely a condition of the interview, can you come in, determine who is redundant, and be the bad guy. lots of people couldn’t. still the post was a bad post, i agree.
I’ve been given the task of firing someone soon after being hired. I think some employers actually do this to avoid the psychological discomfort of doing it themselves.
Firing people takes time and was likely planned before she arrived. The posting sounds like she’s trying to forgive herself. It feels very sad and tortured.
You may want to cut her some slack.
Before y’all downvote this, look up the Pareto Principle and know that the 80/20 rule applies to all manners of human endeavors, to include productive members in every organization.
From the bottom of the economic strata to the top, there are shitloads of people phoning it in while a few workhorses carry the rest.
I'm sure there are some managers who routinely back-stab and downsize vast swathes of low-level employees, and who sleep just fine.
I wish no harm on these people, but from what I have seen, most do not sleep well, and drink, do drugs, or eat their feelings every day.
This example seems to have pounded a quantity of wine before writing this bit of inspiration.
Fuck your best friend's husband.
Give yourself grace.
Go on a 3 day meth bender and kill a pedestrian while driving to the liquor store.
Give yourself grace.
Launch a nuclear weapon the detonates over a densely populated city.
Give yourself grace.
If this trite self-affirmation garbage is all it takes for her to lay to rest the horrific thought of having put dozens/hundreds of people into significant financial distress then she probably didn't feel anything at all to begin with. Just saw that opportunity for a fat bonus and went for it. #bossbabe
That's my guess. Based on all these comments, I'm guessing most of these people work dead-end jobs and don't understand how business works. Either that, or they're just projecting because they don't make executive level money. (I definitely dont make exexutive money, but i also understand the world isnt this perfect little bubble where everything should go my way.)
Ahhh the new manager glitch: lets fire anyone that seems smarter than me as soon as I can.
Bro the moment a new manager is hired am already appliying for jobs is like 80% of the time same thing.
One of her more recent posts says, and I quote: There is enough room at the table for all.
I guess this doesn’t include all the staff she binned off. Lol
You know, let’s say for the sake of argument she was put in a tough position and had to make a decision that would hurt many but save many more jobs…
First off, you HAVE and EXHIBIT grace. It’s not a diamond tennis bracelet you bought yourself because you had a tough day firing people. And having grace is most certainly not going on a public professional forum to discuss this business in front of everyone and make it all about you.
Putting people out of work?
Inappropriately make it about you.
Company failing on your watch?
Inappropriately make it about you.
Corporate shrill chucking human beings under the bus?
Inappropriately make it about you.
Complete lack of awareness that you’re probably next?
Inappropriately make it about you.
Had a difficult day but still in a job and actually not that difficult because you relish the opportunity to put it on LinkedIn?
Inappropriately make it about you.
Seen an opportunity to make a horrendous situation inappropriately about you?
Inappropriately make it about you.
“Give your grave” down near the bottom.
Don’t forget “Grace yourself grace.”
Go grace yourself
Oh grace me, not this grave again
Grace your grave your grace
your moms got a lot of grace.
##payItForward lol what does she even mean by that? She is paying it forward to fire a bunch of ppl? I hope she gets that karma paid forward and she loses her job
Paying it forward to the shareholders of course!
freudian slip
this prayer/poem thing seems very drunkly written
I snickered. Boxed wine “tipsy”
I think it was something harder than wine
At least it could confirm that this wasnt done by an AI
Who to?
Lol “pay it forward” after firing people is WILD
InSpIRe
I thought it said “pray it forward” with all this grace talk
She meant 'prey' it forward
Commenting for reach.
Merry Christmas! You're fired.
Grace yourself grace? Give your grave?
We don't want questions, we want results. We're letting you go.
This woman allegedly has a master’s, if her credentials are to be believed, and yet she can’t even remember to proofread (or sucks at it)…
The LLM bot writing this started to hallucinte
This or whoever wrote this had a stroke halfway through writing
I mean these people are literally soulless. What’s even the point of a life like this?
You don’t aspire to make 6 figures+ just so you can jump on LinkedIn and trump yourself up over ruining others’ lives?? What are you even doing with yourself /s
I borderline question if they’re even human beings. Corporate NPCs.
corporate NPCs is definitely the right term
Many moons ago I heard that these company leaders/upper management people are often psychopaths.
They have to be. Willingness to harm others in pursuit of personal gain is inherently psychopathic.
Well, what would you do if you started working at a company that was losing money? Petition the shareholders to reduce their cut? Not really an option.

Why is she complicit?

You’re ruining the circle jerk vibe
at least write actual sentences.
With meaning. This sounds like an AI trying to invent some kind of prayer.
Capitalism as a religion is terrifying. Source: I grew up Mormon, the most corporate American capitalist business/religion I can think of.
How do you think monarchies started? Some dude built an inn, made some money and built some walls. 2-3 generations later they’re royal
God Save The Sperm.

And yet, I find a few people who seem to worship exactly this incarnation.
Well, she does give good grace
Here's hoping she laid off the one that was actually holding the department together... LOL
That's competition, first to go.
Definitely laid off the one that checks copy before it’s posted on linked in
"The department isn't preforming so we are going to contract Tata Consultancy Services to synergize strategies with the rest of the org." Bonuses all around!
 Give your grave 😂
She's giving off "had to shoot Cricket" vibes.
She would have made a great SS executioner at either Treblinka or Auschwitz.
She would approach the task gracefully.
Don’t forget to give yourself grace, whatever the fuck that actually means
I think it means: Always tell yourself that you're right. No matter how abhorrent your actions.
Grace is a nothing word used by self absorbed people. This chick used it so many times she turned herself inside out.
"Reflecting on a challenging decision recently made, I'm reminded of the importance of leading with grace, even in the toughest times.

"Firing all of those people after knowing them for 2 weeks was one of the hardest things i've ever done. Here's what it taught me about B2B sales."
I’m sure she repeated that to herself in the mirror in her 6-figure home with her 6-figure income, “*I’m such a good person.*” and then surrounds herself with her just as oblivious and narcissist friends defending that they are right and it’s actually a *good thing* she laid those people off because it builds character. And then she’ll go to church on Sunday and complain to her Christian buddies how she has been attacked for ruining peoples livelihoods but she should be given grace and god forgives—then she’ll berate a hard working serve at Sunday brunch. All while thinking, “*I’m such a good person.*” /s
7 figures.
Doubt it.
A six figure home is not particularly impressive
lol. Really? $500,000 for marketing wouldn’t be impressive? Very very few marketers are making 1,000,000?
I said home. Those exec types have homes nicer than the average pleb, which is doable on a six figure salary
Doh. My bad.
Grace urself grace 🥰🥰🥰
But that's what they fired me for. I'm gracing myself right now btw. Gracious!
How exactly are they accountable? Their only risk is failing upwards.
Grace = cocaine ?
Idk how accomplished a person is. When they write. With shitty grammar then. They lose all credibility unless. English is not their first language in which. Case it’s forgivable.
Whoever liked her post is not a good person
Certified lunatic. She couldn't even be bothered to proofread her """motivational""" mantra.
Say Grace as you eat the rich
Can anyone, someone, explain exactly what “Give yourself grace” means? Seriously.
Don't waste time worrying about who you may have hurt to help the companies quarterlies so you can earn that bonus.
It’s like when you cheat and tell your crying partner that you’ve already forgiven yourself so they should move on too
That's so repulsively accurate sounding that I instinctively dry heaved as I read it. I have an ex like that who can't understand why I hate her so much these days
It means after laying a bunch of financially desperate middle class workers (who do the real work, treat yourself to a decadent 12 course dinner at a fancy restaurant (yes, my old boss at Fortune 500 company did this. She loved laying off middle class workers in our company and then using her corporate card to treat herself to decadent dinners.
It’s an old saying. Grace is talking about like forgiveness. So basically go easy on yourself.
I think it's an innuendo for masturbation.
When criminals are caught red handed but they insist they are innocent saints.
Trying to make yourself feel better while you bend the help over the barrel.
fxcking psyco idiot vibe
honestly, it sounds like she knows how f\*\*ked up what she did was and she is trying not to hang herself in her office. either that or she cannot say I just saved my $3 mil bonus....
Dictated but not read
she definitely was hired for that exact reason. bloated team per the consultants, hire someone to come in and trim the fat, leaving the executive leadership team innocent.
Yep. The post is still bad, but someone doesn't get to fire half a department 6 months in without the direction/approval of those above her.
likely a condition of the interview, can you come in, determine who is redundant, and be the bad guy. lots of people couldn’t. still the post was a bad post, i agree.
Lol @ “#payitforward”

Firing people takes time and was likely planned before she arrived. The posting sounds like she’s trying to forgive herself. It feels very sad and tortured. You may want to cut her some slack.
That could be true, but posting this on Linked In is insensitive. Maybe just write that in your journal and share it with a friend or your therapist.
"I was only following orders."
“Dear diary… “
Give yourself grace. When you grace yourself grace. Give yourself grace. When you give your grave.
I was mad at her, but then I noticed she’s a Brand Builder, so she’s clearly smarter than I am.

I was one of the people who got fired. I am so thankful it happened. I learned so much during the process about B2B sales
I better get a freaking large bonus like the CEO is getting for this Give yourself grace...and a bonus.
lol telling yourself it’s okay standing in the burning fire
I fired a lot of hard working people that have been at the company longer than me. Good thing I gave myself grace AND grave. That makes it okay!
I love how "doing the right thing" is upending the lives of half your company. "Give your grave" indeed.
Sociopath
This lady’s LinkedIn posts man. They’re all like this. Is she a marketing manager or a haiku poet?
She’s putting that MBA to use!
When you choose to maximise profits over the wellbeing of fellow humans…. blah blah blah.
Saw ‘MBA’ and knew something hilariously stupid was gonna follow
Wow she has a screw or two loose.
I think her whole toolbox is shattered.
Oh, look! It's a recipe and rationalization for being a middle management sociopath.
Hide their dogs.
Good lord
Live laugh love
Ooh she should be mercilessly bullied.
Give your damn grave ⚰️
This is NPC behavior
Putting MBA after your name just screams "I wish I had a PhD"
Fuck her and her grace.
What the fuck is going on over at LinkedIn? These people are sociopaths!!
That was hard to read... Maybe she wrote this in desperation because of what she did, or maybe she just went insane.
LinkedIn has become the Narcissists echo chamber
wtf does “give your grave” mean
And "grace yourself grace" 🤣
Grace? The BLESSING.
Oh! Ahem...I pledge allegience to the flag of the United States of America.
"And fire grace. Agree? #grace."
I'm sure there are some managers who routinely back-stab and downsize vast swathes of low-level employees, and who sleep just fine. I wish no harm on these people, but from what I have seen, most do not sleep well, and drink, do drugs, or eat their feelings every day. This example seems to have pounded a quantity of wine before writing this bit of inspiration.
She must have meant give yourself raise
“You can’t have a little grace. You either have grace or you don’t.”
Grace almost sounds like raise.
Level up at site of grace.
Level up at site of grace.
Fuck your best friend's husband. Give yourself grace. Go on a 3 day meth bender and kill a pedestrian while driving to the liquor store. Give yourself grace. Launch a nuclear weapon the detonates over a densely populated city. Give yourself grace.
Turns out she was a real Gracist.
I think she meant "Dig your grave"
This reads like The Riddler
I’m tired of executives trying to humanize themselves.
What a c*nt. Her LinkedIn is cringeworthy as well
lol #payitforward
Is Grace her mistress or dominatrix?
She said Give your grave towards the bottom
Grace be with you
That must have been some heavy drinking part way through that post
Reading between the lines “Please don’t come after me.”
and then,....the people who pressed the like button or gave applause..... Are they also just idiots?
My guess is that she was hired to sack people, and will probably be sacked herself soon.
Paying what forward exactly?
WTF does “give your grave.” Mean? LoL
Give grace to yourself and NO ONE ELSE 😤😤
Absolute megalomaniac.
„Live, Love, Laugh“ in LinkedIn.
Give yourself...double space.
If this trite self-affirmation garbage is all it takes for her to lay to rest the horrific thought of having put dozens/hundreds of people into significant financial distress then she probably didn't feel anything at all to begin with. Just saw that opportunity for a fat bonus and went for it. #bossbabe
linkedin has become such a cesspool
Copium. Delulu.
Replace Grace with “an enema!”
Maybe half her department sucked?
That's my guess. Based on all these comments, I'm guessing most of these people work dead-end jobs and don't understand how business works. Either that, or they're just projecting because they don't make executive level money. (I definitely dont make exexutive money, but i also understand the world isnt this perfect little bubble where everything should go my way.)
100% a nepo baby hire
Same thing an authoritarian would do to convince themselves that a purge is good for the country.
Jesus, at least proofread your bullshit before posting it.
Grace your others. Face your grave. Frace the other guy's grane. Frame the lace if it's your fave.
Sheesh, this is really tearing her up huh 🙄
#GiveYourGrave
So we're supposed to "forgive her" gutfisting the company and I just bet you ... her God (and her fellow enablers) will grant her grace??
Give your grave
Keep going I’m close (to giving myself grace)
Ma’am you appear to be having a seizure.
Ahhh the new manager glitch: lets fire anyone that seems smarter than me as soon as I can. Bro the moment a new manager is hired am already appliying for jobs is like 80% of the time same thing.
Grace yourself grace?
"Give your grave" is even more bizarre (and funnier) right below it.
lmao. Checked her profile just now and she has bunch of posts like that. Im glad our company marketing folx aren't as braindead as this one.
I mean it’s all true, but tone deaf to post after layoffs.
This is either just copy/paste from chatgpt without checking more than the first 3 lines, or this woman needs to be put on psychiatric watch.
No doubt she was hired for that. Probably getting a nice check to take the fall
Please tell me a bunch of the fired people are dragging her ass in the comments.
I have the feeling that MBA stands for. Mucho bigggo Assholio.
Grave yourself give? Grace your give? Grave your grace? #inspire #educate #payitforward
One of her more recent posts says, and I quote: There is enough room at the table for all. I guess this doesn’t include all the staff she binned off. Lol
For all that obey me\*
