This Job Was a Lesson, and I Graduated - Quitting


Listen Later

In the explosive season one finale, Kiana and Tara tackle the ultimate workplace power move: quitting. They break down everything from the strategic two-week notice and the burnout bailout to the cathartic rage quit and the modern quiet quit. Drawing from personal horror stories and professional experiences—including counteroffers, toxic managers, and revenge-worthy exit interviews—they provide a raw, practical guide on how to leave a job on your own terms. Learn how to recognize the final red flags, protect yourself legally and financially, and walk away without burning bridges (unless you absolutely need to). This episode is your permission slip to bet on yourself and reclaim your career.


🎤 Know Your Exit Strategy – From the professional (two-week notice) to the passionate (rage quit) to the passive (quiet quitting), understand the pros and cons of every way to leave.

🔥 To Burn or Not to Burn Bridges – Learn when it’s strategic to leave a bridge intact and when lighting it on fire is not only justified but necessary for your well-being.

📄 Protect Yourself, Paper Trails Matter – A crucial checklist for your final days: final paychecks, PTO payout, exit paperwork, and equipment returns.

😮 The Boss’s POV on Being Quit On – Hear firsthand from Kiana about the shock, the guilt trips, and the management lessons learned when employees leave.

💡 Quitting Isn’t Failure, It’s Leveling Up – Debunk the myth that you must have another job lined up. Sometimes, leaving a toxic environment is the most strategic career and health decision you can make.

🚩 Red Flags on Your Way Out – Identify toxic final responses from employers, from guilt-tripping and gaslighting to trash-talking and delaying your final pay.


Listen for unforgettable stories, including the hotel pay-stub rage quit, the Slack-message resignation, and the email with the haunting smiley face. If you’re debating quitting, this episode is your sign.
