People don’t have much love at all, right? They are in a hurry to somehow call someone who is different from them, hang a label. In the same series, the expression "finished man", the meaning of which we will analyze today. And we’ll understand if it’s worth the alarm when you are described in this way.
Meaning
I must say that this characteristic is primarily an indicator of public opinion. Sometimes the wording reflects the essence of the matter, sometimes not. If we talk about social achievements, then this is usually called the people who were defeated in a fight with life.

So, in the last two weeks, colleagues treat him as if he were a leper, that is, a finished person. The meaning of the word, we hope, does not need to be clarified.
Needless to say, in this case, the victims of the stereotype should be recognized more as colleagues of the resigning than himself? A simple Bulgakov conclusion follows from this: “You never know what can be said! Not everything needs to be trusted. ”
