Workplace Etiquette: Leaving Your Job the Right Way
People leave their jobs, that’s a fact. Often, when an employee leaves the workplace, co-workers find themselves overloaded with work, taking some of the goner’s tasks until a replacement is found.
In other occasions, the person leaving is a manager or executive who has been in the company for a fairly long period of time. While they were working, things ran smoothly and everything was organized. But the moment they walk out the door, things go awry. People start talking about how good this person was and how things were easy when he was around but now that he or she has left, every day is a nightmare. You can miss the person and the steadiness associated with his presence when actually, when this happens, it means that this person got it all wrong.
