Resigning Smart

Your LAST THANK YOU to your boss will be better remembered than
any minor not-so-positive things during your period in the organisation


As we know, leaving one's job is a rather delicate matter and it needs to be handled with care and proper professional etiquettes. Below are some do's and don'ts for you to make you graceful exit:

 DO'S 
  1. Give enough notice 
    • Set a reasonable notice period as a sign of loyalty and appreciation to your current employer.
  2. Offer help
    • If your replacement has already started, volunteer to train or work with your replacement to show him or her the ropes. This is part and parcel of a professional handover.
  3. Tie up loose ends
    • Always do your best to complete all open assignments and leave detailed progress reports for your replacement or supervisor and co-workers. If can, better leave your contact number to the new replacement so he or she can reach you in case there's follow-up needed.
  4. End notes
    • Be sure to get a fair settlement for any outstanding salary, vacation (and sick and personal) days and commission payments or other compensation due to you. 

 DON'TS 
  1. Make drama queen exits
    • Even if you hate your boss or have a problem with a difficult colleague, do resist the temptation to create scene. Don't criticize or try to give them a piece of your mind no matter how much you're tempted to.
  2. Gloat to colleagues
    • Never ever dangle your new job in front of your current colleagues. It's acceptable to seem excited over your new job but raving about how great it is while your colleagues are stuck at the current company is definitely asking for trouble.
  3. Slack off
    • You probably won't be handling any heavy projects but do continue to work as per routine and not disappear during the last weeks of the job. Avoid taking a short-timer's attitude or aligning yourself with any discontent co-workers.
