SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF
A CASE STUDY EXCERPT FROM GOOD BYE:
Elif worked in a team which covered Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). She was based in Istanbul, and her line manager was in Milan. Her line manager’s personal assistant contacted her via email to say that he wanted to come and have a face-to-face meeting with Elif. This was out of the normal rhythm of their interactions. When the manager sent a meeting invitation to Elif it was titled ‘Elif/Luca redundancy notice’.
You can imagine the 48 hours Elif had awaiting that meeting; it did not go well for either party.
DOES THIS SITUATION SOUND FAMILIAR? PRE-ORDER GOOD BYE.
