How do your agency leads announce when people are leaving? For the past year, we get our blows via slack.

I usually find out when they post on LinkedIn about their new job.

They don’t tell. We are working from home so after some emails left with no reply we realize that person is not with us anymore.

Some people don’t get an exit note at all and leadership are happy that way, sad but true.

Wow my spot announces departures at all hands and then we do a night of drinks to send them off. Zoom drinks now. It’s nice

By a well-written email from the CCO/founder. Pays tribute. Well done actually.

like

Small shop. Department head sends and email on last day, then the exitee will usually reply all with some kind words and personal contact info.

Leading up to it whoever needs to know for transitional purposes is looped in but word spreads so by the time it happens pretty much everyone is in the loop.

like

I worked a place that asked leadership to make an announcement and I always though that was messed up. I think people send goodbye emails and that’s how you find out

like

A smaller company I used to work for would send around a goodbye card. You found out the person was leaving and had to come up with a message on the spot

like

Monthly staff meetings, although usually everyone on their team will know and it’ll have passed through the grapevine by that point. Occasionally an all-staff email if it makes more sense with their notice period.

Usually there will be a goodbye email from the person leaving and virtual drinks with those they worked with, although there’s been a rash of people off on sick leave and not coming back recently.

like

After employees spoke up, we now send an all staff email. Very formal with a thank you for xyz

like

Email

My agency sometimes does an email within the team, but not company wide.

Weekly company-wide email listing last days

Unless they’re fired... someone in the group will write a nice goodbye email for them. Or they’ll send a goodbye note on their last day. It depends.

Holy fuck. Some of these stories are unreal.

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote. Regular Ed teachers may have students (mild Learning Disabled kiddos) in their room while teaching. They are saying it’s a liability issue if they have one student in the room with them, even though teaching other via Zoom. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?

As things start to open up fully, some of my institutional clients are sending notices that we are expected to do X activity over zoom from here on out (things we used to do in person). Clearly it’s a cost cutting measure.

So...
What to do? What to do?

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.

We are here now, but not able to stage shows. Logic says, "Do a radio show!" Just not sure I want to subject the kids to the emptiness of that performance style given the Zoom life they've been living. The production of it could be fun though.

Thoughts?
