Imagine getting let go by your boss over a year ago, only for him to reach back out and offer a gift card if you find him some qualified new employees. Here's the best part: instead of a personalized message, this dude framed his email as if his former employee was part of a "company alumni" group and that this referral process was part of a contest. From our perspective, a personalized message would still have been insulting but it would have been far more effective than this framing was. Still, though, there are far better ways to find qualified candidates than asking the people who were let go as a result of unforeseen layoffs. Here's an even better idea: how about hiring them back if they're still interested?
This thread was posted to Reddit by u/HyperlinksAwakening, who clearly has no plans to help their former boss out given how impersonal the message is, how insubstantial the so-called "reward" would be, and most importantly, the general lack of a desire to help the person who unjustly fired you. All of that is valid and makes sense to us, but clearly, it doesn't make sense for this delusional former employer. Keep scrolling below for the full story.
