Burning the Bridge with My Previous Employer: A Lesson Learned

Have you ever had a really bad breakup in business? Have you ever burned a bridge? Today on The Journey to $100 Million Podcast, listen in on an experience Erik had with his previous employer that he still thinks about to this day. Erik was in a situation where he disagreed with how the last company he worked for was operating. Because of this, Erik and a co-worker made a decision that ended up burning the bridge with his previous employer. At the time, Erik felt that he was justified in doing this because of his disagreements with how the company was handling certain situations. Today, Erik regrets doing this, and is confident if he were to go back to the same situation, he would handle it differently. The key here is to understand that no matter the reason you may want to leave a company, you should always try to leave on as good of terms as possible. Don’t burn that bridge, you’ll feel better and everyone will do better because of it. — Erik Olson is an award-winning digital marketer & entrepreneur.
