A team member quit recently. She gave two weeks' notice but didn't fully complete it and was supposed to train someone to take over her job duties but didn't. After being a valued team member for so long, why did she choose to leave on a sour note?
A team member quit recently after having been with my practice group for five years. She left for what she thought was a better opportunity outside the profession. She gave two weeks' notice but didn't fully complete it and was supposed to train someone to take over her job duties but didn't. After being a valued team member for so long, why did she choose to leave on a sour note? Too often good team members quit the wrong way even though they're leaving on good terms and could use a favorable reference.

Are you quitting your job? Use these tips to do it gracefully: your head held high and remaining in the good graces of your friends and contacts.
Another team member also decided to leave not long ago. She was making a career change and brought in her pet for care one last time before she headed out of town to start graduate school. The team was excited to see her and talk to her about what she was up to. Now isn't that how you'd want to leave things?
