How to Quit Your Job Properly? 11 Tips
When your business career is on the rocks or you feel it's time to move on to new heights, you have to quit, but you have to do it wisely.
Sooner or later, everyone has to think about quitting, it could be because there is no prospect of further work in this place - no growth in salary and position, or your decision to open your own business, often the relationship with the team or the boss may not work out.
The first person to know about your departure should be your boss, and not from someone else’s gossip, but from you.
If you tell your colleagues about your plans before telling your superiors, then rumors may reach the top with comments that you cannot stand the stupid attitude towards subordinates, the beggarly salary, etc.
And this is fraught with the fact that you may be fired against your will, which will tarnish your business reputation.
The best argument when reporting this news to your superiors is to refer to a higher salary, then they will understand you and most likely not condemn you.
There is no need to speak out loud about the hopelessness of further work, that there is no opportunity for career growth even if this is the reason.
When saying goodbye to colleagues, you shouldn’t tell them everything that has accumulated over this time.
It's tactless, you never know why you might have to contact them again. That's why it's worth maintaining good relations with everyone.
Know that any personal or professional contact can come in handy over time and serve you well.
Before leaving, you shouldn’t describe the joys of your new job, because you don’t know what awaits you there; perhaps all the bright prospects will turn out to be a lie, and you won’t be welcomed there with open arms.
When you announce your retirement early, you risk ending up nowhere.
After all, the new management may change their mind or take a more suitable candidate.
And then, burning with shame, you will have to go to your old boss and talk about your decision to stay, and by that time a replacement may already be prepared for you.
At parting, it is worth gathering all colleagues and thanking them for the time of working together, for the experience gained.
It's worth calmly handing over your affairs to a new employee so that you are not pestered with questions and phone calls later.
This kind of behavior can not only destroy, but also create your professional reputation.
