Should I start following my coworkers on social media?
Here’s the situation. I developed a close bond with my coworkers during the past 3 months working as an intern. They are the closest friends I’ve made in years. However, I’m leaving the company by the end of this week. The thing is, I lied heavily about why I’m leaving. I made up bogus reasons about my work visa, which weren’t 100% false, I still had problems there. But again I lied like I can’t believe I could. The reason I’m lying is that I got a new, better position. I couldn’t leave voluntarily on time because my internship here is on a contract. The only reason I could leave was to lie about reasons “out of my control”. The new job pays like 4x & is in a better city.
Now even though we’re close, I can’t help but think they’ll be resentful when they find out I lied and it’ll be awkward if i follow them on social media or interact w them irl. My fear is that they’ll think I wanted to leave them and basically I don’t respect them enough. Should I just move on? Or take the leap and follow them? They’ve asked about my socials a lot before but I had none.
I really want to maintain a good relationship with them, I’ve been lonely and socially inept for way too long. Thoughts?
Congratulations on your new, highly lucrative position. While maintaining a positive relationship with your coworkers is important, strategic decisions sometimes come into play. Consider privately explaining the circumstances surrounding your departure to address any potential resentment.And also remember that they would have done the same thing if they were in your position . success in finance often requires tough choices and adaptability. Proceed with caution, embrace your achievements, and may the markets forever favor you.
Never Happened.
Nobody cares. People change jobs for whatever reason.
