Title: Rethinking Two Weeks' Notice
Author: Robert Glazer
Category: Workplace & Company Culture, Leadership & Team Building, Career Growth, Motivation & Self-Improvement
How you leave a job matters more than how you do the job. Sam and Sophie sit with that idea for a minute, because it's not what most of us have been taught.
They walk through Robert Glazer's framework for a 'professional departure' — starting with why the two-week notice is broken, then moving to the 'departure dividend' and the step-by-step playbook for resigning face-to-face, creating a transition document, and even helping find your replacement. The pair also covers the employer's side: building an alumni network and the boomerang employee concept.
If you've ever left a job badly or want to ensure your next exit builds your reputation instead of damaging it, this episode names what's actually happening and gives you a way out. The takeaway: your reputation is cemented in how you leave, not just how you work.
