You have got a new job! Well done. Now, dont spoil it all by
making a hash of your exit from whereyou are now. I know, you are
excited. Its hard to stay focused on the old gig, when everything
is oh s
cool about the new one.
But remember, the old gig was the new gig not so long ago, and
how you behave on your way outwill affect your brand, your
references and your future employability. Trust me on that.
Its true that often you get shown the door as soon as you
resign. Also true, some employers behaveappallingly to exiting
staff. But no matter. You be the better person, leaving with every
loose end tiedup, and your head held high.
The Savage Truth 15 Rules of Resignation will give you the road
map to do just that;
Give fair noti ce. Sure, your offer letter of 5 years ago says
you need only give 2 weeks notice.But you were a trainee then, and
now a Team Leader. You know you will cause your employerhuge issues
if you leave at such short notice. Dont do it. Provide enough time
for them to gettheir business covered. Its the professional thing
to do.
1.
Do the deed gracefully. The actual resignation, I mean. Plan how
you will do it. Set a formalmeeting. Be polite. Accentuate the
positives. Be firm, but humble. Show appreciation. Thank
youboss.
2.
Dont blab. To everyone else, I mean. Either before you resign,
or after. Until your boss agreescommunication plan. In my
experience, 90% of resignees fail right here. Just have to
telleveryone about my great new job. Its selfish. Destructive. You
need to be collaborative inhelping convey the message at the right
time, in the right way, to the right people.
