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.

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.
“

?

?
,
so major life transitions

like changing

aren
?
t meant to be kept in
secret until the last
minute,
”
Lubetzky tells

.
“
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

ask
the
new employer to delay
their start date by two months or two years. He

38.
One
of

family
”
B) he can save a large amount of money
