I applied for a job that seemed to suit me down to the ground. I was delighted to be offered the role a few weeks ago. I haven’t begun but have already been informed several people who had been integral in hiring me have resigned. There had been no hint of this during the hiring process.

This worries me. It almost feels like there’s a secret I’m not being told. I’m also anxious that these are the people who decided to take a chance on me and now all of them are about to leave. Am I fussing over nothing?

This would have been a shock and I don’t blame you for feeling like you’re suddenly on unsteady ground. One resignation would have been surprising enough. More than one is quite extraordinary.

I think there’s a fair chance that you’ll arrive on day one and, within a few hours, get the debrief you crave. But it does seem odd that nobody has given you a call or sent an email with even the start of a clarification.

Let’s assume for now that you get the strong sense........
