“I’ll make sure Emily has everything she needs before I leave.”
Then I walked out.
The next day, something happened that I will never forget.
Karen called an emergency meeting with HR.
I wasn’t invited.
But apparently, my resignation had caused a much bigger problem than anyone expected.
Because Emily had started asking questions.
She wanted to know why the person training her was leaving.
She wanted to know why her salary was so much higher.
And she wanted to know why the company had described the role as newly created when it clearly wasn’t.
HR apparently tried to reassure her.
It didn’t work.
Emily asked for a meeting.
Then another.
