A loved one put in
his two week’s notice.
My advice to him?
Be happy, and positive.
Don’t say anything bad
about your current company.
Don’t do those phony exit interviews.
(those go on your work record
and they keep your work record forever)
Don’t bitch and complain.
Why?
Because your coworkers
are still working for the company
you’re leaving.
Bad mouth the company
and you bad mouth their decision
to stay.
And THAT bad mouthing
will be the only thing they remember
and the only thing they repeat.
You can forget returning to the company
in the future
when that CEO position is open
(or when you’re in between jobs)
What if you hate the company
and every single co-worker there?
Still be happy and positive.
If you’re bitter and grumpy,
they’ll be relieved when you’re gone.
You don’t want that.
You want them to be
sad
that you’re gone.
You want them to rue the day
they mistreated you
or passed you up for that promotion
or didn’t pay you enough.
Be happy and positive
about your current employer.
