My work bestie just put in her two weeks' notice and I feel like I’m going through a genuine breakup. She’s the only person who knows exactly what I mean when I just look at her during a meeting, and the thought of surviving this unit without her is devastating. How do you guys cope when your emotional support coworker moves on to bigger and better things?

Take this as your sign to follow her out the door. Usually, when the emotional support person leaves, it’s because they finally realized the trauma-bonding wasn't worth the paycheck

Agree. I have felt this and getting ready to exit and want to bring my friends along to get them out of the mess!!

I've had coworkers leave and I was sorry to see them go. And while I missed them, it never felt close to devastating. I always remember that it's a job and people will come and go. I'm there because I need a job, and while it's nice to have coworkers who are friends, I can't let changes in their life affect me deeply.

I totally know how you feel. I recently had one of my best dental assistants put in their two weeks and it was devastating. Just know that you can still continue a personal friendship with that person outside of work if that's something you want to do.

I feel that deeply. Losing a work bestie changes everything. I try to stay in touch with them while slowly building new connections.

It really does suck. When that happened to me, work started feeling way more like work and a lot less like something I looked forward to.

Our employee satisfaction survey is tied to our performance goals. Meaning, if we rate management badly, we cannot meet 10% of our goals which in turn affects our bonuses and raises.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year.

I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
