Not only had he just landed his dream job at a well-funded San Francisco-based start-up, he was also happy to be rid of his old firm. His two-year tenure at the technology company had been frustrating. Ben reported to two different supervisors – one in HR and the other in legal. His managers did not get along particularly well and they often disagreed on company strategy.<\/p>\n<p>He knew his absence would put his team in a bind – particularly with the holidays coming and his closest colleague soon going out on maternity leave. In light of that, he planned to give three weeks’ notice.<\/p>\n<p>After he delivered the news to his first boss, she immediately tried to persuade him to stay. \u201cI told her I was flattered but I wasn’t interested in more money,\u201d he says. \u201cI had already accepted an opportunity at another company. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>His second supervisor’s response was underwhelming. \u201cHe just shrugged and asked me when my last day was,\u201d says Ben. \u201cHe had always been a difficult person to work with, and his reaction was typical. It actually helped me feel that I made the right decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When word got out that Ben was leaving, his colleagues from other business units were naturally curious. Ben was forthcoming but professional. \u201cThey asked a lot of questions about what I’m doing next and what perks I was getting,\u201d he says. \u201cThey were happy for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As his last days neared, Ben says he was prepared to offer constructive feedback to his bosses. He had specific ideas on how to improve the reporting structure of his position as well as advice on how they could more efficiently delegate responsibilities to his eventual replacement. \u201cBut no one asked,\u201d says Ben. \u201cIt’s probably just as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Don’t gossip \u201cThere are no secrets and no off-the-record conversations in the workplace,\u201d says Schlesinger. If you give different reasons for your departure to different groups – if your boss hears one story, for example, while your close colleagues hear another – expect that you’ll be Topic A at the water cooler. \u201cLearn the essential lesson of being a politician: There is only one story, told one way, and you stick to it,\u201d he says. \u201cThat way nobody can ever say they heard anything different.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>On the other hand, Ben felt guilty about announcing his departure<\/h2>\n<p>She planned to give a month’s notice because she knew from experience that abrupt departures \u201ccause turmoil\u201d on a team. When the moment came, she was honest with her boss. \u201cI said I was going to pursue an entrepreneurial venture in the beauty business -that it was something I’d been wanting to do for a while and that now was the right time.\u201d Her manager took the news well but she did ask whether Nancy would be willing to extend her notice period by two weeks. Nancy agreed on the spot. \u201cI knew I could spare the time and it would help smooth the transition.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nancy left her job in April and today is the CEO of Briogeo Hair Care And when I told her where I was going, she… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2120],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-african-dating-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/khumbuphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5566"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/khumbuphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/khumbuphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/khumbuphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/khumbuphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5566"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/khumbuphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5566\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5567,"href":"https:\/\/khumbuphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5566\/revisions\/5567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/khumbuphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/khumbuphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/khumbuphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
