Employee Departures

This week has been hectic at Lawlady Inc.  The bookkeeper gave her two-weeks notice.   The position she is taking sounds perfect for her, however.  She's moving on to a apprenticeship program that will allow her to train with an accountant mentor and prepare her to go out on her own as a free-lancer next year which is fabulous.  This is exactly the next step she needs to build her career. 

I think in the professional world people do not know how to move on with grace and aplomb.  Employees often stay over-long in a position, begrudgingly showing up each day, bringing a poisonous attitude to work rather than seeking something that really satisfies them.  Or, as employees leave, employers display signs of resentment that make it difficult for the employee to return and check in periodically. 

I think the healthiest companies can accommodate movement and flow of employment, both moving bad-fits out quickly and efficiently, but also maintaining everyone's dignity so that the work-world for both sides is as amicable and rewarding as it can be.

When the career side of our lives eats up so much vital life force, it's important that we conduct our professional dealings with courtesy and support.  I'm glad for our bookkeeper in moving on to something even more perfect, even though I'm disappointed to lose such a nice and hard working professional.

The world is a harsh place.  The way money flows around the globe we need each other for our continued financial success.  Given this great interrelatedness, it's important that we facilitate the movement and flow between employment.

I wish our bookkeeper well. She's been fabulous.  I hope she's enjoyed her stint here as much as we've enjoyed hers. 

If you know of a bookkeeper, we are hiring.
