It's time to make a change, whether it's taking a new career or simply challenging. The procedure for resignation is quite simple: notice, preferably in advance.

This article will focus on a few ways to make your resignation process as smooth and as free as possible.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Choosing the right time to resign

1. 

   Try to end well. Most people apply for resignation when they feel exhausted and as if they are incapable of doing their jobs. This feeling of exhaustion often causes a lack of productivity. Although this is understandable, you need to try your best in the final project. You may end up wanting a note from your future boss (or you may even want to work with them again). It would be better to be remembered as a diligent, fully dedicated employee throughout the working period.
   • Know any benefits for which you are eligible. If you are preparing to apply for termination, you can receive severance pay, or unemployment benefit. They will be essential if you do not have a new job. Resigning can make you ineligible to accept anything. In many cases, it is better to receive these allowances while searching for the next position.

2. 

   
   
   Set up a plan to send notice. If you want to resign in the best possible way, you shouldn't put your boss in a difficult position when struggling to find someone to replace your position. You should give at least two weeks notice (or as stated in your employment contract if any) so that your boss can prepare someone else to act for you, or have time to thoroughly prepare for you. replacement.
   • Even if your contract does not specify a specific notice period, you should give 2-3 weeks notice to show courtesy to your boss. Notifying more than 2 weeks later will prevent your boss from finding a suitable replacement; If it is 3 weeks earlier, your boss will wonder why you are still around in the company.

3. 

   
   
   Keep your decision private. Once you've made your decision, don't brag around the company until your immediate supervisor knows the news. You should think more deeply, like a general, and know that knowledge is power.
   • Give your boss or supervisor time to receive and process the information. If the company makes an offer to keep you on, it can be quite awkward if you have already informed your coworkers of the plan.
   • Determine how to share your departure information with all employees after you have talked to your boss. Your boss will probably email the entire company, or ask you to submit your own notice. Avoid mentioning your departure to anyone before discussing it in detail with your boss.

4. 

   
   
   Solve all outstanding problems. This is a respectful and thoughtful act that you can take and your boss and colleagues will appreciate it. Complete the project you are working on and have a guide ready for the person who will take your place. Consider leaving guidance on where you left off on any long-term project, and any other essentials your replacement needs to know about what you're working on. Be sure to make sure all the papers are sorted, labeled, and easy to find - you won't want your panicked colleague to call you after you've quit your job because they can't find it. see a certain document.
   • This is especially important if you are working in a team. Once you have submitted your two-week notice, you need to discuss with your team who will take on which work until the company has found a replacement for you.

Part 3 of 3: Meeting the boss

1. 

   Ask to see your boss to discuss an important issue.

   Consider the possibility of the company making an offer to keep you on. Your boss may value you more than you know it, and offer suggestions to retain you.

   • The meeting with your boss will mainly be an opportunity to negotiate, so you need to be prepared, and know your limits.

   • Be aware that some bosses do not like you being a "decision maker". Remember to make sure you can really quit that day because sometimes your supervisor will personally attack you for taking your leave, telling you there is no need to give notice, and asking you to leave immediately. You need to be the best judge in this regard, so do your best to assess if your boss is one of these types of people - but you need to be careful, sometimes. You can't predict what everyone will do.
