Leaving a job is often a difficult step. Sure, there is an opportunity to do something different, but if you have been with an employer for more than a year, this can become an emotional step. People leave jobs for various reasons. The old job could simply horrible. The pay is miserable and the manager is behaving like a dictator of a 3rd world country. Or the work could be subcontracted and the employee is pro-actively seeking their departure. Or work is a dead end. Opportunity and not a daily routine is boring. It could also be that immediate co-workers and managers are not as nice and there are no great working relationship that make love to the employees to go to work. A thrilling work can not remain a great place to work if you have a great co-workers and managers of all. Work is about money, but the socialization is important, too.
Not trying to go into the reasons for leaving a job here for the issue of this article. However – we concentrate on the party to renounce a job. And again – there are several ways out of a job. If you absolutely do not care about your old job that could be, but this step can have serious repercussions on his career on the road. Note that employers like to see the places where they worked on before you want to hire. These sins of the past can come back and hurt your reputation. “Oh, he left that job without notice. And if he does the same to me?” – This might just be thinking of a new employer may have. Depending on the job for a week or two weeks should give notice. In some cases 3-4 weeks may be appropriate. Like getting up in the top ranks of this could be the way forward. Leaving an executive of a company without taking care of a smooth transition can be hurt if the company is in trouble and then it becomes public knowledge. The employer and just try not to burn any bridges. In the long run this will be the best decision of an employee can do.
By giving up you should be prepared to avoid stress. In most cases, to waive a stressful event. An employee may have prepared some stress out of this big step with proper planning. Write a 2 or 3 line letter of resignation. Nothing fancy. Try not to explain why exit. Only the state is relinquishing his position and let the company know what his last day at work will be. Sign the letter and to the side, the director who is to resign. Do not just turn over the letter and the foot. Saying that you resign and then deliver the letter of resignation. Be prepared to answer questions of why you go. Not doing things. Prepare a list of pain points quickly if necessary. You might even help their fellow employees, providing constructive feedback on specific situations and problems. Personally I recommend not to mention the word money as the main reason for leaving. If things are reduced to money, often if dirty.
Finally be prepared for an immediate counter-offer for his resignation. Some companies try to solve the problem of an employee ceases to throw more money at him. Or they want to save time and pretend they give you more money. They give more money, but he works on his replacement at the same time. Things could also produce well for a while but when things get difficult and it is in the kind of layoffs that took the counter-offer may be one of the first to be let go by the cost factor. I only see a situation where it can be good or to accept a counter-offer. Say they are leaving the work environment and are able to identify problems and issues. Some employers are blind about these things and simply do not realize how employees feel about certain things. Suddenly, a good job and let the issue come to the surface. Some employers are willing to settle the matter and these are rare situations of counter-offer may be accepted. Yet – the employee has to carefully evaluate the situation. It is important to know who you are dealing with one side. Can you trust the employer?
Sometimes a counter-offer may come during the last days on the job or shortly after the last day. We have seen cases in which counter-offer within 60-70 days after the employee left. These situations are not good. I recommend not to accept such a counter-offer no matter what tempting the offer. The employee has to take into account that he / she left. This brand always stick. One day, the employer could be in a different situation and has to decide who to let go first. Will an employee who is loyal to the company for 8 years and is the “Gung-Ho”, which only ceased to be attracted by the money back and finally leave again if the next employer is prepared to deliver further cash? Make a bet ….
These are just some things to keep in mind when thinking about giving up a position. Be prepared. Be strong. Change can be good for your career.
