Ex-boss offers $250 gift card to the employee he fired in exchange for potential job candidates: 'I actually like my friends and would never recommend they try for employment at this company'

Most people do not want to hear from the boss who fired them, especially if it's for help. If you were let go, the only reason why your former employer should be contacting you is to help you get a new opportunity, not the other way around. Unfortunately, there seem to be far too many narcissists out there with zero self-awareness, and they believe it is well within their right to initiate contact with the people they did wrong.

Keep scrolling below for this tale of a former employee who received an email about what their ex-boss calls a brand new "alumni referral program!"

Before we get to the strong reactions folks in this online community had in the comments section, let's start by sharing the email this former employee received, the contents of which dangled the carrot of a $250 Amazon gift card if the author referred friends and recommendations to the company.
Clearly, this ex-boss has no idea that most of the ex-employees he let go still harbor justified feelings of resentment, and therefore, have absolutely no plans to help this guy out. The audacity of narcissists in charge, am I right, folks?!
