It means to make a change in a way that you CAN'T go back even if you need to.

Burning bridges means taking actions that permanently damage relationships or opportunities, especially in a professional context. It usually occurs when someone quits a job or ends a business relationship in a disrespectful manner, making it hard to return. Maintaining professionalism when leaving a job is important to avoid burning bridges and preserve future opportunities.
