Episode 217: Quitting words and double COVID internship


Listen Later

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions:

Questions
  1. Hi

    Over time I have heard many different terms that all seem to equate to “I no longer have a job”. Some examples are quit, fired, laid off and terminated. What is the difference between these (and others) and what is best (both from benefits and emotionally) for the employee and the employer?

    Note I am not planning to quit my job or fire someone, but I am curious to hear your views.

  2. Hey guys, I love your podcast and find it super helpful for me as I start my career in tech. I am in a conundrum. I am a student and I took the opportunity Covid presented me to take up two internships instead of one. Both are at top companies. My question is I am feeling like I am drowning in work, how do I navigate through this and what are your general thoughts. Thank you in advance!
