In today’s episode, Teresa is joined by Sarah Marie Wittman to talk about “Job Transitions and the Lingering Identity.” Sarah is an Assistant Professor of Management at George Mason University’s School of Business.

The recent changes in the labor market have caused people to switch jobs, but what from our past jobs carries over?

Teresa and Sarah discuss “lingering identities.” Sarah wrote an article on lingering identities, which is the expression she uses to describe identities that are premised on former roles that persist significantly beyond role change. They talk about how this can impact your new job.
