The best way to quit? |
I currently work as a senior accountant for a public traded company. My boss is a really great guy. However, I can`t stand my job anymore. I want to quit for another job because it seems I m gonna be making more money somewhere else without having to deal with the negotiation process and the yearly review. The problem is since I landed with the company I took over a lot of his responsibilities. I think I made his life a lot easier because i always want to learn what he`s doing and he was kind to let me drive. Now, i want to quit and I just don`t have the courage to tell him. I think he`s not going to accept it. What do you think? two weeks notice or make up a story about me going back to school or need to take a break from work to take care of problems. Much Thanks Tell it to him like it is. Two weeks notice. If he's a great guy like you say, he'll understand and wish you the best. First, you should write a letter of resignation. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Just address it to your boss and inform him that you're leaving, when you're leaving, and it isn't necessary, but it is always nice to say why you're leaving. I know you don't want to upset your boss, but you aren't doing yourself or him any favors by lying to him about this. If you lie, then you are effectively burning a bridge, because it will get back around to him that you weren't truthful. He probably won't be willing to give you a glowing reference or ever help you if things don't work out with your new job. The fact is, people leave jobs everyday for many reasons. Your boss will probably be upset and sad to see you go, but he'll get over it. It's the nature of business these days. People don't stay long. So be honest and make sure you give your boss at least 2 weeks notice. Good luck! Just be straight forward with him and give him a 2 week notice. What caused you to leave the company might cause them to re-think some of their policies/procedures to keep future employees. If your boss is truly a good boss like you say, he will understand and accept it. Good luck to you! Well, depending on your job will depend on how much time you can give. In most cases its 2 weeks. Depending on your standing in the company it may be proper ediquit to give a month. For example school teachers give a month. I dont know enough about your job to be able to tell you how much time to give so look this info up on your own. Then write a letter of resignation and talk to your boss. Thank him for the opportunity that he has given you and that you really enjoyed your time working there. This will help you not burn that bridge incase you ever need to work for the company again. Be honest, and tell him that you are looking at a more competitive salary but you like your job. He may come back to you with a high enough offer for you to reconsider leaving if he really needs you at the company. However, remember... you are never forced to work anywhere and you can leave any time you want... just do it with a little class and you do fine. You are going to want to use him as a reference when you switch jobs anyway, so its best to be good about the leaving situation. Good luck hun. Write a nicely worded resignation letter. Let him know that you've really enjoyed working with him and have appreciated him broadening your experience and scope of skills. Let him know you've found another opportunity and that you're going to pursue it and are giving 2 (or more) weeks notice so that he can find and have trained a replacement for you. He may come back with a counter-offer to get you to stay. It is almost always a terrible idea to take the counter-offer presented by the present employer. Your loyalty will always be in question within the company & they'll look to replace you if the opportunity presents itself (and may even advertise to replace you). I'd make sure you have a new job to go to before you quit or give a two weeks. I'd give two weeks notice this way he won't have anything bad to say and you can use him as a referral. Writing a letter of Resignation is always the best it is your choice whether to put in a reason. Make sure you give a copy to your boss and the HR department covering your bases is key. If it's a job where you have to train someone to take your place I strongly recommend giving 3 to 4 weeks notice, that way your giving the company plenty of time to find a replacement and for you to train them. Making yourself available via phone for the first week after leaving is helpful incase there are last minute questions about your job duties. |
