Then I started researching salaries for people with my experience.

By midnight, I had sent out three applications.

By Wednesday, I had sent eleven.

By Friday, I had seventeen.

Meanwhile, I continued training Emily.

And I trained her well.

I showed her every system.

Every process.

Every shortcut.

Every recurring problem.

I explained which clients preferred phone calls and which wanted email.

I showed her the mistakes that could cost the company thousands.

I gave her the notes I’d accumulated over six years.

Karen was thrilled.

“You’re making this transition incredibly easy,” she said.

“That’s what I’m here for.”

What she didn’t know was that I had started documenting everything.

Not company secrets.

Not confidential information.

My own work.

My responsibilities.

My accomplishments.

The projects I had led.

The money I had saved.

The systems I had improved.

The clients I had retained.
