Exiting Your Second Home(means your office/job) Gracefully!

As an individual,  the primary reason to resign from the current role are very common viz office politics, frustration with the current role, better offer, personal issues, etc.

Resigning via quick text, email or leaving office after a yelling scene with your supervisor, impacts your future relationship with people who in all probability maybe in a position to influence your career at a later date.

There has been a big clashes of views on ethical ways to move out of the company, it depends on person to person / company to company where an individual works.

Let’s try to summarize few pointers which an individual can follow;

1.    Read your Appointment/ Contract agreement and ensure that you clearly understands all the departure formalities and not violating any company rules.

2.    Schedule a time with your Boss and discuss your reasons for change(try to avoid any negative traits about the company and boss).

3.    Discuss your date of exit and hand over process with your current employer, based on which inform your future employer about your date of joining.

4.    Based on your discussion send your resignation note via email copying to respective authorities – HR and Department heads.

5.    Draft a formal letter, thanking your employer for the opportunity to learn new skills and requesting them to relieve you as you would like to move on. No matter how much you hated your job or your boss, ensure that your letter is neither controversial nor does it appear like an attempt to negotiate a better salary with your current employer. Remember, this letter will remain on the company’s records, years after your anger has subsided!  

6.    Offer to help the new incumbent settle in, if an internal replacement has been assigned the job, and complete all pending tasks, leaving a detailed report of handover during your notice period.

7.    Send an email to colleagues you’ve interacted with, informing them about your departure and leave your contact details on your last day in the organization.

8.    Be Honest during your exit interview, state your reasons for quitting, your views and opinion in making things better in existing set up.

9.    Handover all office property in good condition and clean your desk/laptop.  

1. Leave gracefully, ensuring that your boss and colleagues give you a good reference in the future. It’s a wired world, and senior people are connected. You never know - your current boss may become your employer again in a few years!

So Cheers!😂😂😂

Good Luck for your new role.
