A Wells Fargo employee’s TikTok video about her co-workers not hosting a goodbye potluck for her—apparently out of line with standard practices—has sparked discussion on the platform, where some viewers shared their similar experiences of feeling underappreciated.
Posted by @angel.baaby209, the video shows her eating alone in a break room, with a text overlay on the video elaborating on the issue.
“When (you’re) the only one who hasn’t gotten a goodbye potluck lmao nice reminder of why I’m leaving I was never appreciated and never recognized for all the hard work I did,” the text overlay on the video reads.
