How do I leave my role as someone on the talent team. I am on a small recruitment team of only a few people, who connect daily. I am also responsible for sending out updates tracking new hires and upcoming leavers (aka I would be on this list if i decide to leave).

I want to put in at least a two week notice, but will continuing my work after that be weird?

How do you get out of work “ruts”? I’ve been in a work rut for going on 1.5 months now and I can’t seem to get out of it.

I’m not working extra hours like I use to, or working with any sense of “urgency”. I use to jump out of bed every morning to go to work. This isn’t typical me…

What have you done to get out of work ruts?

I can play the part short term, but have bristled on longer term engagements with human potatoes. 8YOE, Series, & CAIA
