About this listen
How you show up at work—and how you leave—can shape your professional reputation long after the job ends. In this episode, we’re joined by Nicole Viggiano, an experienced HR Manager, for an honest conversation about why not burning bridges matters more than students and early-career professionals often realize. Nicole shares an insider HR perspective on common mistakes employees make when they’re frustrated, disengaged, or preparing to leave a role—and how those moments can quietly impact references, networking opportunities, and future job offers. Together, we talk about navigating difficult workplace situations, giving notice professionally, handling conflict with maturity, and protecting your career reputation even when a job isn’t the right fit. Whether you’re in a part-time job, internship, or thinking about leaving your first full-time role, this episode offers practical advice to help you exit (and work) with integrity, professionalism, and confidence—without burning bridges you may need later.
