I got invited to hang out with some people from a job I recently left. I do want to take the opportunity to get out and be social as it was a goal this year to branch out.

I can’t help but have this feeling I’m being set up. I did leave kind of abruptly only telling the manager. Maybe they just want to vibe out or maybe they want the real info.

They are cool people, I’m just more of a fade to black kind of person. Right now I feel the need to be uncomfortable for growth reasons so that’s why I’m leaning towards going for the fukkery, plus some of the woman are game now:sas2:

Have any of y’all experienced something like this.

It’s bowling btw

Nah nothing like affecting my new job. So not necessarily set me up. I just found it odd I got invited.

I was in a similar situation once…difference was I got terminated but I had a history of hanging out with these coworkers so it wasn’t that odd to me when they invited me out after I left…I did get the sense that they wanted to talk about what happened in depth but I didn’t feel like getting into it so I didn’t hang out with them…once I got a new job I gave them an update but I never hung out with them again…they were cool but we were pretty much just work “friends”

I hear that, I hung out with them for the first time a few days before I left. I’ve been gone for a week and they just invited me. So outside of work there really wasn’t any interaction. And Im also adding myself into a already established friend/work circle. I think it’s more letting people into my personal life but since I don’t work with them anymore fukk it.

Just not trying to hear gripes about a job I already deemed toxic because of the environment and what it does to it workers and I feel for them and would soap-box why they should go somewhere else and be great. Then again who am I to decide for them.

I've been responsible for doing this as part of my work groupchat. Sent an invite to a girl that got fired for missing work days because she was a single mom down on her luck and i was tryna smadadat

Sometimes its done purely out of good intentions. I would pop in and see whats good but be mindful of the nearest exits and don't get too involved if they start bytching about work stuff.

Reminds me of back when I was like 19. I worked at Circuit City for a couple years and was there when the company got liquidated. Coworker of mine who was the warehouse lead had a party at his place for all of us after it was all shut down. Now during the liquidation phase all our upper management was gone and it was a liquidation company there who didn’t really know much about the store or dead spots where the cameras couldn’t see. I thought I was a bad muhfukka cause I took a camera and sold that bih on eBay for about 250.

I get to the party and this muhfukka has THREE 50 in TVs mounted in his fukking place. Lmao he stole all them muhfukkas. I start talking to the rest of my coworkers there and they were telling me about all the wild shyt they had been taking. Had me fukkin weak

Are there potentially going to be women you wanted to smash while you were working there? If yes, i would do it. If not, i would play broke and see if mfs fukked with me enough to get some free drinks. I fukked with all my coworkers tho so if it was me, I'd go anyway
