Should I ask for an Exit Interview? I'm leaving my public library job next week, after 21 years. I'm in a senior role, one of 4 in a business of only 10 employees. I think it's quite odd that I have not been asked for an Exit Interview after working here for such a long time. I'm…

Four day work weeks - kind of. Our company had a low sales year and in lieu of bonuses and raises, we were given a four day work week. The caveat is that on our day off, we remain on call and accessible by phone, email, and Slack. It’s supposed to be for emergencies, but I’ve had…
