After

following
passage,

When you quit a job, you typically
give two
weeks’
notice. But
at
KIND Healthy Snacks
they
do things differently.
Founder
and
CEO
Daniel
Lubetzky
asks
employees,
whom
he
calls
“
team
members,
”
for
at
least
two
months,
and
in
some
cases
two
years
’
notice.
In
return, Lubetzky focuses on their professional
growth until the
day they
leave.
It
may
sound
extreme,
unrealistic
even,
to
ask
for
two
months
’
notice
—
or
two
years
’
notice
from
those
who
work
with
him
directly
—
but
his
reasoning makes perfect
sense.
“
We call the KIND team a
‘
family
’
,
so major life transitions
(
转
变
)
like changing
jobs aren
’
t meant to be kept
in secret until the last
minute,
”
Lubetzky
tells
Business Insider
.
“
No one should be scared to
talk about what
’
s
next for them.
”
“
I would rather a team
member come
to me months in advance,
letting me know what will be happening in their
life,
”
he says,
“
whether it is a baby on the
way, a relocation for
personal reasons,
or a plan to go back to
school.
”
Lubetzky
doesn
’
t
expect
his
employees
to
accept
a
job
elsewhere
and
ask
the
new
employer
to
delay
their
start
date
by
two
months
or
two
years.
He
simply
wants
anyone
who
is
exploring
new
opportunities
to
be
open
about
