[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve never understood why school leaders don’t go out of their way to make all departing staff members feel appreciated, or to at least pretend that they’re sad to see them go. Those individuals aren’t evaporating, after all, they’re probably going to another school or district. Once there, they will have a story to tell about their former supervisor. Wouldn’t the leader want that story to be at worst neutral? It’s also possible that the school leader may want a job wherever their former colleague landed someday, or that that person will know someone who influences hiring decisions, so it’s just common sense to me to go out of your way to smooth things over when someone you supervise is on their way out, for whatever reason. There are so very many former MCPS employees walking around feeling terrible about their time in the county, and it seems both unnecessary and stupid to me. This happens at every level, including among departed central office staffers.[/quote]

Well said. Treat everybody like somebody, not because of the future but because it's just standard.[/quote]
