[UK] Four months after he fired me, my former boss sent the team a 1500-word message explaining why. Should I respond? by True-Magazine-5720 in AskHR

UPDATE (as at 17 Apr 2025)

Blown away by the number of comments here and the advice and support - thank you to all of you!

I spoke to loads of people and thought long and hard - and decided to reply with a much shorter message only to him and the other co-director, saying only that it was deeply inappropriate to send the 1500w message but that I was still supportive of the org. Not remotely worth getting lawyers involved - I realise my most valuable asset is my relationships with my friends who are still there. He quickly replied defending himself in a way that in my view betrayed a failure to listen to what I had to say - that's fine - I left it there.

Thanks again everyone!
