WHAT NOT TO SAY TO A PERSON WHO FINALLY FOUND WORK

Recently, we’ve heard from friends who happily found a great job or project.  Upon reporting this good news to supposed friends, instead of  good wishes they get snarky comments in return.


 “Hope they’re paying you.”

“Really? Good luck, I’ve heard things about that company.”

“Are you happy?”

“Good luck, you’re going to need it.”

“Make sure they pay you.”



WHAT TO SAY TO A PERSON WHO FINALLY FOUND WORK

“Congratulations. I’m happy for you and wish you all the best.”

How about that?

I have heard people say things that you mentioned to those who just got a new job and I agree that it is so awful! I know myself when I start a new job, I am so scared and what I really need from people around me is their support and encouragement!
