OUR HOSTS: 

Corinne Foxx - @corinnefoxx

Natalie McMillan - @nataliemcm and @shopnataliemcmillan 

What we're drinking: Substance Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 

TOPIC: 

In this post-pandemic era, millions of workers are leaving their jobs or switching careers, resulting in an economic trend called The Great Resignation. We’re talking about why so many people are quitting their jobs, what to consider before putting in your two weeks, and how to leave a company respectfully and on good terms. We also share ideas for how to switch up your routine and reinvigorate your work life before committing to leaving, and how to set yourself up financially before permanently terminating your contract. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• What it looks like to be disengaged at work

• The correlation between race, ethnicity, gender, and job equality

• The six signs that you should evaluate before you leave your job

• Why it’s important to take a some time off and speak candidly with your supervisor before quitting

• Creating a plan for your health insurance and retirement fund before leaving your job

• The proper protocol for quitting
