Exit plans and how to talk about them
summary
Claim: normalize asking what's your exit plan across teams to reduce surprises. Method: run one-on-ones, collect vetted examples, give a group presentation, publish a companion writeup behind a QR-coded writeup, and iterate yearly. Measured outcome: over one pandemic year seven departures fall into three buckets (1 two-week, 3 extended notices, 3 who planned and acted), fewer chaotic transitions and more supported exits. Caveats addressed: visa worries, perceived pressure, and trust requirements.
