Some people dread quitting their jobs.
“I’m leaving them with so much work!”
“This company’s like a family!”
Oh. Does your mom give you performance reviews?
Does your dad try to compensate you as minimally as possible?
Do your family members sleep with each other?
No company is “like a family” unless you work for your family business. And quitting a job should be savored. You should bask in the conversation.
I have a feeling Gladys did just that. Of course she didn’t want to leave her job. But during the final handover meeting, when a staffer asked Gladys who was going to do what when she was gone, I bet a smile crept across Gladys’ face and she said, “that sounds like your problem.”
