Hey Besties!

Some resignations take a long time (hello “quiet quitting”!). And then there are the ones that go down in history - they’re LOUD. This week, Ashley shares an unforgettable resignation - it went viral before that was even a thing. We’re also tackling the topic of “quittin’ time” - how to know when it’s time to move on, what employers get wrong (and right) about resignations, and how to leave without burning bridges (unless, of course, they’re already on fire).

In This Episode:

  • Intro Story: Ashley shares an epic resignation (that we’re sharing on Instagram - come follow us there)

  • Corporate Cringe Speak: Jamie breaks down a phrase that’s not always at it seems (even if you say it repeatedly)

  • Hot Topic: Some people quit too soon, some stay way too long, and some companies make the exit process so miserable that even great employees leave on a sour note. So how do you know when it’s time to go? We’re talking about the real signs that it’s time to move on, why quitting should be a decision (of whether and how to leave), and how companies could do way better when it comes to “offboarding.”

  • Questions & Comments: We talk about memories from the last day of work - which too often can feel glorious.

Discussion Guide – For Your Next Podcast Discussion Group or Team Meeting:

  1. The Right Time to Go: Have you ever had an “aha” moment that made you realize it was time to move on? What were the signs?

  2. The Exit Experience: How can we make the resignation process less painful - both for employees, and the team staying behind?

  3. Keeping It Professional: How can you resign in a way that keeps things professional and positive - without getting guilted into staying longer than planned or being pulled back in for excessive “quick questions” after you’ve already left?

That’s it for this week, Besties! Tune in for dramatic goodbyes, workplace “transparency” and some much-needed real talk on when it’s time to peace out. And remember: If you’re thinking about quitting, make sure you’re running toward something - not just away from something.

Keep listening… don’t quit this b****!

XOXO,
