What is the "pls fix" meme? Has anyone actually encountered it irl? Does the sender of the pls fix actually tell you what is wrong or is it on us to figure out what is wrong?

I’ve seen it used at the end of a list of things wrong with your work:

“Structure needs work, please align page numbers, footnote formatting inconsistent. Pls Fix. Thx”

It’s more like “can you please fix .... “

At this point it’s basically slang. I tell my names “plz fix” all the team with that as the opener and a bunch of comments. They are gen z and get it haha.

My supervisors were the stereotypical senior managers, and this was basically their theme.

Haha, welcome to consulting! It's a meme that caricatures senior partners who just leave the feedback 'plz fix' or 'make better' on a slide with no additional details or direction. I've fortunately never experienced it myself 😁

Been there multiple times especially on client deliverables. I get much more input and clarity on proposals 😆

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

People on here seem to post about having been laid off whether they were fired or laid off. I pass 0 judgment, but does anyone else feel like there’s not a single person who comes on here and says he/she was fired. I would completely understand this language if this forum were not anonymous, but what’s with this, considering we’re all anonymous?

I know some actually were laid off, but for the others, are people just delusional or somehow embarrassed even though anonymous?
