My Admin Gave Her Two Week Notice Today and It Hurts
This is just a vent, but I’d appreciate and thoughts or support.
My admin assistant started in September, just before our busy season. My previous admin was promoted to a high level role in my team.
Today, she let me know that she accepted a role elsewhere. She told me that she knew early on that this was not for her, but she wanted to give it a shot because she likes and trusts me and she did not want to job hop. She knew almost immediately that she disliked the industry and gradually came to dislike the company. She said that she thought I might leave or promote to a different area and take her with me, but the new opportunity works better for her and her family now. I fully understand.
I nearly cried. I felt like I was being broken up with. She is one of the best employees I’ve ever had. She knows it would be 6-12 months before we made a major change.
She made so many things function properly. I am going to have a tough time moving on and replacing her.
