Leaving a job is something most of us will experience at some point in our lives. Whether it’s for growth, better opportunities, or simply choosing ourselves. But in a world where it’s tempting to just “ghost” a workplace or leave in frustration, we often forget one important thing; how you leave matters just as much as how you started.
