Episode 10 | How to Quit Your Job and Keep Your Bestie

Question

Hey Work Wives. It's Emily from Pleasant Grove, Utah. I have a manager who is basically my work bestie, and I love her to no end. My loyalty lies with her and not the company I work for, but the company I'm at isn't going to be able to get me to where I wanna go. How do I let her know that I'm leaving the company, not her, and how do I do it without leaving her in a total bind at a company that I don't trust to take care of her.

Summary

We all adore a work bestie, but what if you want to quit your job? Can you keep your bestie? Do you have to choose between friend goals and career goals?

The answer is: friends let friends quit, and take them out for drinks after (even if your work bestie is also your manager).
