Two Weeks Notice

A Note to Minions:

There comes the day you shake hands hello and then walk into your boss's office to shake hands goodbye.   Innocuous?  Depends. 

I will say, "I didn't expect an argument."  Glee?  Joy?  Doubtful responses if you're worth anything to the business.  What's fair -  a month?  Until they find a replacement? Or, my other favorite, "Oh, so you're giving your two weeks then?  Just leave now.  Get out of here." 

It's hard to build connections if the road is constantly a one-way-journey.  Do not feel guilty for wishing to move on.  You are not a serf. 

A Note to Supervisors:

Without somewhere to climb to inside your fortress, your worker bees will escape the hive to sweeter pastures. 

If you're a good boss, you'll let them grow.

If you're a great boss, you'll open the door for them - when they leave, when they invite you for lunch later on, and when they return on more even grounds.
