"I Quit!" - What do you do?

Also, office potlucks…

Hey Besties!

Happy Wednesday! We’ve got an especially juicy episode lined up for you today. If you like to start your day with some hot goss with the HR Besties, and also want our takes on what to do (and not do) when an employee suddenly quits, this one’s for you.

This week:

  • Intro Story: Jamie’s got us all ears with some “malicious salsa” accusations at an office potluck. (Also - are you the type to make something for the office potluck, buy it at the store, or… skip it altogether?)

  • Corporate Cringe Speak: When something’s just not worth it. (Some of us admit we use this one!)

  • Hot Topic - “I Quit!”: What should you do when an employee quits? (Why handling this situation well matters for the entire team, and some best practices, so listening to the podcast isn’t just a guilty pleasure - it’s professional development!)

  • Questions & Comments: What we’d bring to an office potluck (And the ultimate legal scholar… John Grisham)

Discussion Guide: Questions for your weekly HR Besties podcast discussion club or team meeting:

  • Office Potlucks: Real talk on office potlucks - how do you balance people’s love for food (and making food for others) with food safety and personal preferences?

  • Corporate Speak: What are some of the most cringeworthy corporate phrases you’ve heard? What do you wish they’d say instead?

  • Employee Departures: How do we handle it when an employee resigns, and is there anything we should change?

  • Supporting Your Team: What strategies have you found effective in maintaining team morale and productivity when someone leaves? How do you ensure as smooth as possible of a transition?
