The […]
The two-week notice is an autopsy, not a diagnosis. By the time it lands on your desk, the decision was made months ago, probably the same week a recruiter slid into that employee’s LinkedIn inbox and found an open door. You’ve already lost the institutional knowledge, the client relationships, the onboarding investment. All that’s left […]
