Fired Employee Refuses To Help Former Employer After Being Let Go, Despite The Concern That Refusing Would Affect Their Payout: ‘am I Obligated To Help?’
The thing about being fired is that you're not supposed to keep working for the people who fired you.
That's the one "benefit" of being let go from a job: no more work, at least until you find a new, and hopefully better, job. So what is the point of the whole "firing" business if your (former) employer keeps calling you and asking you for help?
That is a question the employee below keeps asking herself. After almost 4 years of devoted work at a small startup, she was fired. The company claimed that the reasoning was financial, explaining that the industry had taken a hit and had to let some employees go. Although the employee was disappointed, the company ensured she received a respectful severance package and proper payout.
However, now that this employee is officially home and unemployed, her former employer keeps calling her to ask for different things, even on weekends. Between being asked for passwords and documents, the ex-employee feels like she never really left, which is odd, since they were the ones firing her, not the other way around.
Since she is not getting any money for all the help, the employee considers refusing to help altogether. However, she doesn't want to be difficult, especially since she has not gotten her payout yet. Which leads her to the question: should she risk it by refusing to help her former employer, or should she agree to help the company that fired her after years of hard work?
