The conversation balances venting with insight, covering topics like:How to prepare for sudden turnover before it happens.Why some employees wait until the worst possible moment to walk away.The emotional toll of scrambling to cover routes while keeping customers happy.Lessons learned and strategies to minimize damage when the inevitable “WTF moment” strikes.If you’ve ever had a tech throw in the towel on a sweltering July morning—or you fear it might happen one day—you won’t want to miss this brutally honest and slightly cathartic conversation.Listen in, laugh a little, and nod along—you’re not alone.
