The best way to deal with getting fired
The best way to deal with getting fired Yesterday I was on the phone with Rachel Mendleson, from Canadian Business. She is writing an article about how to quit a job without burning bridges. She wants me to give people advice about not burning bridges. I tell her I think the topic is stupid. I tell her everyone knows that advice already. She says, What about the blog post you wrote 9 Tips for Quitting a Job Gracefully? Do you think that information is no longer right? Oh. I forgot about that, I say. But its old. Its a boring topic now. What about your number-seven tip: about how you shouldnt do an exit interview? Yeah. People shouldnt do that. Im sorry to be difficult. Why dont you just copy and paste what I wrote about exit interviews into your story? I used to do that when I was a columnist at the Boston Globe just lift stuff and quote people. Its so much faster than real interviews. I dont do that. Oh. Okay. Sorry. Sorry. Okay. Im going to try to be more helpful. Heres a quote for you: Quitting a job is a networking event.
