Ahoy there, communication pros!
We hope you enjoy this week’s stories—along with relevant tips and takeaways—for the week of May 3-7, 2021.
1. Treat everyone with respect—or brace for public shame.
A cleaner from Southampton, England, sparked a viral sensation this week after quitting due to poor treatment from a manager.
The BBC writes:
Julie Cousins walked out of her job as a cleaner for HSBC last Friday after 35 years, according to her son Joe. In her note, the 67-year-old wrote that she was leaving due to being ‘dressed down’ in the office by a manager.
Cousins left a note explaining her decision, which her son posted to Twitter and has since racked up more than 13,000 retweets.
And this is why I love my mum. She’s been cleaning banks for 35 years and today walked out with this lovely note left for that awful manager. Happy retirement Mum – always have the last laugh eh! 💚☺️ #Tada pic.twitter.com/u8G73MTPMA
