No matter how great the workplace, how great the coworkers, it\u2019s a natural part of work-life for people to move on. Whether they upgraded positions, decided to do something new, or just needed a change, people leave. And sometimes they leave people behind. I\u2019ve left places before, left colleagues and work friends and family. It\u2019s tough to leave a good place, and it\u2019s tough to be left behind.<\/p>

This isn\u2019t my first work abandonment (I\u2019m kidding and being extremely dramatic), so I am not totally ill-prepared. First you cry (everyone does that, right?), then you plan.<\/p>

  • Determine what needs to happen before they leave.<\/strong> Be it a knowledge dump, password list, tricks for how (s)he works with the most difficult person \u2013 learn what you can while you can. Take notes. Ask questions. And take advantage of their offer that \u201cI\u2019m only a phone call away!\u201d just a few times before you let them off the hook.<\/li>
  • Strategize the future.<\/strong> Yesterday you imagined your work-future with this person alongside you; today, the future looks different. What plans did you have that should stay in place? What plans need changing? Think about the strategy behind the near future and make adjustments from who you might report to, who is going to help provide you feedback, and even what you might achieve now that you couldn\u2019t before. Change is hard it almost always has perks if you can see them through the trees.<\/li>
  • Celebrate the past. <\/strong>A super impactful team is a formula you can\u2019t easily [re]manufacture. The right people in the right places, timing, chemistry \u2013 sometimes it all aligns. The work you and your departing coworker have done cannot be matched. It is always worth reflecting on your collective accomplishments. Celebrate them and know that there will be more achievements in the future, now for two lucky organizations.<\/li>
  • Eventually, move forward.<\/strong> For me, this will involve carrying a torch. We made so many process improvements, templates, proactive strategies, and set really high expectations. I think I\u2019d let my coworker down if I didn\u2019t continue to hold myself and my team to those same standards going forward.<\/li><\/ul>

    Writing this, I\u2019m sad. I\u2019m usually so amenable to change, but this is one I would just prefer not be the case. It hasn\u2019t happened yet, but it\u2019s soon. People come and go in all areas of our lives all the time \u2013 sometimes that relationship is so special though, it\u2019s worth taking some time to write about. He might have another article or two (or guest articles!) that you\u2019ll get to read, but please join me in thanking Ben, The Sales Cyclist, The Support Soigneur, The Disrupter for his service to REMAN U and beyond.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
