A Singaporean headhunter is urging companies and employers to treat their employees better and to create healthier working environments, after a resignation left her shocked.
The headhunter, Angela Yeoh 杨慧丽, took to her LinkedIn profile to showcase how someone had resigned from his position by writing his resignation letter on a piece of toilet paper, as the company he worked for treated him as such.
She echoed his words, “I felt like toilet paper, used when needed, then discarded without a second thought.”
“These were the exact words that stuck with me when a candidate explained why he was leaving his job,” she added.
Angela went on to share her advice to employers.
“Make your employees feel so genuinely appreciated that even when they decide to leave, they walk away with gratitude, not resentment. That kind of experience doesn’t speak to a lack of loyalty, it speaks volumes about the company’s culture,”
“Appreciation isn’t just a tool for retention. It’s a reflection of how much a person is valued, not just for what they do but for who they are. If people leave feeling undervalued, it’s time to reflect. Small changes in appreciation make a big impact. Start today,” she added.
