Tomorrow’s my last day at my current agency. I have an exit interview with HR and Benefits Coordinator soon. Anything I should watch out for before signing papers to make sure I don’t get screwed?

They will ask you some questions in your exit interview - I would pay close attention to what they're writing down when you respond. I left on my own accord, good terms, gave 2 weeks, etc. and when I was in my exit interview the HR person was completely twisting what I saw about my experience! I think they wanted to make a case since my account had high turnover, but I didn't want to burn any bridges so I kept my answers very polite and PC. I could see what she was writing and actually said "I'm sorry, but those are not my words. I don't want what I'm saying to be translated into what you're interpreting." Keep an eye out!

You only sign the the acknowledgment paperwork about your insurance/life/cobra/401k/etc transfer/termination, that’s about it. If there were any non-competes, you probably signed them before you even started working at your current agency.

Thanks for the help guys. Went great. No bad blood or weirdness. Leaving on good terms. No bridges burned.

are you being terminated or leaving on your own accord ?

for the latter - not much you should have to sign other than acknowledging they gave you certain documents.

be wary of signing any non-compete or non-solicit.

Leaving in my own accord. We’re on good terms. I gave them three weeks notice. Not worried but you never know. I’ve heard good and bad things.

Hello fishes,
I have joined ZS 6 months back as a AC but still I am not able to settle in the role provided to me. I am not having a consulting background either. Imposter syndrome and feeling of uselessness is at the top. I tried sharing the same with my seniors but they said it will get better with time. How do I gather my courage and motivation to work? I feel too lonely and left out

Joined a company months ago in a new industry and was told to own the company enterprise roadmap. It’s a new pillar for the company (of 4). Since I’m new and lack industry experience, is it a fair ask that my boss or their boss should be able to articulate the vision for that? Or set objectives/goals? They reply with just “you own the roadmap” and quite frankly I feel like they don’t know what they’re doing (they both don’t have domain expertise either). Am I being set up for failure?
