It seems the people who got fired or left on their own now overpost in social media.

I would think that if you got fired or quit, you’d either be laser focused on finding your next gig, or working hard at your new place. Not posting multiple times a day, everyday, on mediocre shit. It seems to be more humiliating to show up too much online after you get fired; it’s like a cry for help in the wrong outlet.
