    If you aren't running the company, you probably have something bothering you. More money gets my attention away from it. That easy. And I will tell you now, no amount of money will EVER be enough to deal with stupid on a consistent basis.

    Thank you for this video. I wish I had had such advice earlier to not burn bridges. I needed a career break too of a few months to a year. I needed a career coach desperately and ended up discouraged and burned out.

    I regret not telling HR the truth about my manager’s conduct towards me, so I told a half truth. I said there was not enough communications support, which is true. I still get chills whenever I hear the sound of a Teams ring tone (fortunately my current position does not use Teams)

    I sugar-coated my feedback because I felt sorry for the HR manager conducting the exit interview. She was very uncomfortable in the (temporary) role. Then I put the actual feedback on Glassdoor. To me, it's a favor to people thinking of working there, the management needing to improve, and my former fellow employees who can't say much because they work on an at-will basis. Everyone who reads it will know whose words they are. I don't care because this is the last time I'll be employed by someone else in this country!

    Stop giving your boss a two week notice when you quit. They are not going to give you a two week notice when they fire you or lay you off. So don’t give them that’s courtesy. Remember they have a drawer full of applications from other ppl that they can easily replace you in a second

    That's an HR view of how the world works. It's not that organized or fair. The right way to quit is the best way FOR YOU, because you owe them nothing, and you can be sure the feeling is mutual.

    People work to make money not to chase after hr and bosses to lick their boots. Nobody cares about their personality or interests. This whole networking culture is toxic and makes the companies recruit based on social skills rather than actual work related ones.

    you're essentially telling victims to adapt to their abusers. the title should be "how to make workers feel that they are to blame for companies doing everything in their power and influence to ruin the future career prospects of someone that quits, as a reminder to other workers that if anyone else thinks of quitting, management will make sure they suffer too. TED doesn't drive systemic change. it broadcasts propaganda to force workers to bend to satisfy the employers convenience, while the system and management's abuser mindset red flags are painted as immutable.
