February 20, 2024 14:00 - 17 minutes - 20.1 MB

We have a letter! One of our listeners wrote to us with a question. They are stuck with what to do with their golden hancuffs. Their current employer was acquired by a larger company. The company wants them to stay, and has given them a year-long series of bonuses and severance if they stay long enough. But they'd also like to look around to see if there are other opportunities. They don’t know what to do about their bonus package in the job search: can they disclose it? Can they use it as l...

Episode 89: Feedback Conversations at Work

May 04, 2023 01:00 - 29 minutes - 20.6 MB

Today we're talking about giving feedback at work. In talking with managers at work, Liz encouraged people to ask their people how they wanted to get feedback and how to deliver news positive and negative. Feedback, when given in a timely and kind manner, can be a gift. But often we forget key steps like finding out how someone likes to receive feedback or framing it in a way that makes sure your point is conveyed. Feedback tip #1 is to make it as timely as possible. When you finish something...

February 27, 2023 16:15 - 26 minutes - 18.2 MB

We talk about a topic that has come up extensively over the last few months -- severance packages. What are they? What aren't they? Why do they exist? What do you do when you get them? Our goal is to answer all of the questions we get around them to help you learn and be prepared if you’re faced with them. Question 1: What is a severance package and what is the point of them especially if I’m an at will employee? "At Will" means that you don’t belong to the company. Why do companies give sev...

November 30, 2022 02:00 - 16 minutes - 11.3 MB

Today we’re talking about job abandonment -- something we’ve each seen a handful of times in our corporate careers. (Kat saw it more with people working in retail.) We want you to know what job abandonment is, how to avoid it, and what the ripple effect can be when someone abandons their job. What is job abandonment?

Episode 84: Your company was acquired! Now what?

August 30, 2022 14:00 - 18 minutes - 15 MB

In this episode we advise on what to do when your company gets acquired. Most of us don’t know if our company is going to change structure, ownership, or leadership, so when something big is announced it can be a bit shocking and can cause us to ask, “What happens to me?” What do you do that day? Acknowledge your feelings - you’re going to get flooded with emotion. It’s scary. The number 1 thing you can do is take care of yourself. Continue to breathe. Take a walk. Understand that the feeling...

Episode 83: Top Secret! Taking about NDAs

June 28, 2022 13:00 - 9 minutes - 8.79 MB

Top secret! We’re talking about NDAs, non-disclosure agreements. What’s an NDA? It’s an agreement between you and the company saying that you won’t share information about the company outside of the company. These are shared whether you’re an employee or a contractor. Sometimes you sign an NDA when you’re interviewing, which means that whatever you learn during the process you can not take back to your current employer. If you’re working on a secret project at work, your NDA says that you do...

Episode 82: Truth in Background Checks

May 17, 2022 16:00 - 17 minutes - 12.1 MB

Background checks include references. A bad refere...

Episode 77: Bereavement Leave

December 21, 2021 15:00 - 20 minutes - 13.8 MB

Today we’re talking about bereavement and bereavement leave and what to do when you need to take bereavement. Many companies offer very little bereavement leave. A leae of 3 days for a close loved one is typical, which we think is crazy, as our stance is that most people will not be able to come back after losing a family member after 3 days. AND, if they do come back, they won’t be at anywhere near full capacity. We hope that company cultures support people when they are grieving, and we as...

You're starting a new job. Congrats! OK, now what's next? Every company does onboarding differently: some bigger companies tend to have more structured onboarding and some start-ups less so.

Episode 71: When a Colleague Quits

September 28, 2021 13:00 - 10 minutes - 9.75 MB

We have a letter from a listener who doesn’t think they reacted properly when a colleague quit. They reacted with a big “Really? Why? I thought you liked it here!?!” and then felt like a bad colleague when the person looked visibly uncomfortable and showed them that they’d overstepped. For the colleague, we referenced Episode 55 “The Art of Quitting”. We discussed why the person might have quit that had nothing to do with the workplace or were reasons they didn’t want to share.
