How to Cope When Your Colleagues Keep Quitting
With a historic wave of job turnover, it can seem like you’re the only one staying put while everyone else is jumping ship. It’s a lonely feeling to find yourself surrounded by new faces, or suddenly the senior member on a team of new recruits. Here’s how to cope. First, give yourself space to process the changes around you. It's normal to go through a period of discomfort as you get to know your new teammates. Embrace your role as a teacher and student. Recognize that while you will likely need to mentor new colleagues, you shouldn’t forget to learn from them at the same time. They will bring new insights and skills. Finally, pay attention to your own satisfaction and don’t write off the option of leaving if the right opportunity arises. You don’t have to stick around if it doesn’t feel right. Keep your options open by staying in touch with your former colleagues, and always keep your ear to the ground.
