If you've found a new job or are quitting your old job for some other reason, it is very important that you say goodbye to your employer in a good way. Sometimes demands an employer that you submit your dismissal on time - how long in advance you have to do this, should be stated in your contract. And even if there is nothing about it in your contract, it is in any case a good idea to let us know in good time that you plan to leave - that way your employer has enough time to find a replacement. Either way, it is in your best interest to end the relationship with your employer tactically and with respect.

Method 1 of 2: Quit your job

1. Check your contract or the written confirmation of the offer of your position. Before resigning, always take a moment to reread your contract and / or the written confirmations of the offer you signed when you were hired. Often there are specific conditions for what to do if you want to quit your job. Usually, those terms and conditions say little more than something like: "This employment contract may be terminated by either party, at any time and for no reason." But were allowed if your employer does have certain rules in case of dismissal, it is very important that you know those rules so that you can be sure that you are not violating the conditions of your employment contract.
   • If you don't have those documents to hand yourself, don't panic. Your employer should have copies of these documents - ask the human resources department, your supervisor, or any other person responsible for the records if they can give you those documents.
2. Talk directly to your supervisor. Always treat your manager with respect (even if you don't think he or she deserves it.) If you take the time to talk to your manager personally, you show that you respect him or her and your position. A personal conversation is much more respectful than canceling by email or over the voicemail, so if you would like your employer to write a good letter of recommendation for you, it is better to opt for a personal conversation.
   • Play the game. Not every job is a dream job. But even if you hated this job, at the very least pretend that you enjoyed doing the job you are now resigning for. Don't be tempted to insult your supervisor or talk negatife about your job - the satisfaction it might give your boss the truth to his or her face won't last long never outweighs the problems you face. future if you have to explain why you cannot give a reference of this function.
3. Explain why you are quitting. Even hoof almost never officially give you the specific reason for your dismissal, it is always useful to have an explanation ready. This will make the final conversation with your boss (and saying goodbye to your colleagues) a lot easier. You can leave for many different reasons: you may have found another job that is better suited to what you want in life, you may move, or you may decide to stop working for health reasons. Only you know exactly why you are leaving.
   • If you resign because you are not enjoying yourself in this workplace, it is better not to say so directly. You can say instead that "this position is not right for you" to spare the feelings of your supervisor and those of your colleagues. Always be careful with comments like this and try not to burn ships behind you.
4. Ask your manager what is expected of you before you leave. Before you leave, you may need to complete certain projects or train a colleague so that he or she can take over your job, or they may need your help finding a replacement. See it as an honor to be able to perform these tasks and do it in a nice and correct manner. Don't be reluctant to do your job now that you know you're leaving - if you're making the transition difficult for your employer, he or she probably won't give you such a good reference in the future.
5. Also, consider submitting your resignation in writing. In some jobs, all contact is by phone or email, such as telecommuting, and it is impossible or impractical to meet your employer in person. And some employers want you to submit your dismissal verbally as well as in writing so that they can store your resignation letter in the archive. In that case, write a formal, dignified letter of resignation and submit it to your employer (or send the letter by mail or email if you cannot deliver it in person.)
   • In your letter, state that you regret having to leave, explain why you are leaving and also indicate that you are willing to help find and / or settle in for a replacement. Keep the tone short and to-the-point - don't waste space on an overly flowery and sentimental goodbye. Save your deepest feelings for the personal conversations and emails with your colleagues.
6. Let your employer know well in advance when you plan to leave. If possible, make sure that the news of your departure doesn't come as a complete surprise to your boss. Not only is this very rude, it also complicates matters a lot for your employer and for your future career. First, your employer will have to go all out to find a replacement for you - and if that doesn't work, he or she may have to reduce production or close the business temporarily. Even if you hate your boss, quitting your job from one moment to the next is downright unjust and unfair. Worst of all, it could hurt your colleagues (as they will likely have to do your job).
   • Moreover, if you surprise your employer with the news about your departure, you can almost get there certainly that he or she won't be much in the mood to write you a good letter of recommendation, and that can be a problem with later job applications.
   • Your employment contract may state the minimum notice period for resigning. If there is nothing about it in your contract, keep in mind that normally from the moment you submit your resignation two weeks keep working until you can indeed leave.
   • Important: Always make sure your boss is the first to know about your plans to quit your job. So don't tell your colleagues before informing your employer, even if you happen to be good friends with them. Rumors always circulate quickly in the workplace - and it is very painful when it comes to the point that your boss you arrives and starts talking about your plans to leave, instead of the other way around.
7. Thank your supervisor. If you've had a good time at work, it should go without saying. And if not, you're going to have to "pretend" anyway. By thanking your employer, you create goodwill in the person who is about to become your ex-manager.
   • At that point, you can tell your employer questions Write a positive letter of recommendation for you or ask if you can give him or her as a reference in the future. Keep in mind that your employer does not obligated is.
   • Always ask your employer specifically for one positive letter of recommendation or reference - a less nice employer might otherwise describe you in a less positive way to potential future employers. No letter of recommendation is usually better than a negative letter of recommendation.
8. Be prepared that you may have to leave immediately. You should understand then, even though you submitted your resignation before the date you intended to leave, your employer may prefer you to leave earlier, perhaps even immediately at that time. That doesn't mean your employer disapproves of your work or your decision - you may have no more work to do, or your employer may think it would be better for you to be gone so the other employees don't get demotivated. In any case, try to ensure that you have cleared up and "completed" things before announcing your resignation. Make sure you complete all current projects and tidy up your belongings a bit so that you can leave neatly and quickly if necessary.
   • If you are sent home early, always check your contract - you may be entitled to severance pay for the period in which you would normally have worked.

Method 2 of 2: Cancel your lease

1. Check your lease. The notice period is often equal to the number of days between two payments. Find out what your rental contract says about canceling the rent - the contract usually tells you how to announce your departure and what the rules are for canceling the rent. Make sure you know these rules before giving notice as they may affect your decision. For example, if you have signed a rental contract for a specific period, if you leave earlier, you may not comply with the rental conditions and are therefore responsible for paying the rent after you leave, advertising costs, etc.
2. Cancel the rent to your landlord in writing. Even though this is not always necessary for an employer, to a landlord must you usually cancel the rent in writing. Include important information in the letter, such as the names of all persons who will leave the home, the address of the home you are leaving, the address of the home where you to is moving and the date you plan to leave.
   • Keep the tone of your letter serious and business-like and check spelling and grammar carefully.
3. Ask the landlord what else you need to do before you leave. If possible, do this in a personal conversation with your landlord (possibly by telephone, or in the latter case, by email), so that clear agreements can be made about what you still need to do before you can leave. The landlord may ask you to leave the key in a specific place on your last day. He or she may also ask you to completely clean the house before a certain date, even if you do not leave until later. It is better not to look at things like this to guess , so talk to your landlord about it as early as possible.
4. Assure your landlord that you will clean the house completely before you leave. During the conversation with your landlord, tell your landlord that you will leave the home in a clean (if not perfect) condition. If you return the house clean and tidy, the chances are that you will get the deposit that you have paid back in full.
5. Make an appointment for a check round of the house. A landlord often wants to check the property during a personal inspection (where you must also be present) before you hand in the keys. This is in the interest of both parties. The landlord wants to honestly check the condition of the property so that he or she can withhold the correct amount from the deposit for repairs and the like. And you will also want to be there so that the landlord cannot tell untruths about the condition of the house in order to incorrectly withhold part of the deposit. During the conversation with your landlord, don't forget to ask when he or she plans to check the home so that you can make sure you are there.
6. Agree when and how you will get the deposit back. Usually, when you rent a home, you pay a considerable amount in advance in advance (usually an amount equal to one month's rent).On your departure you will receive this deposit back, minus the costs for any repairs and the like that the landlord has had to perform due to damage you have caused. But assuming you haven't done crazy things and have maintained the property well, you should get the full deposit or at least most of it back.
   • At the beginning of the conversation, tell your landlord that you want the security deposit back after you leave and after any repairs have been paid. Make sure it doesn't go unmentioned - most landlords are honest people who will always plan on giving you your security deposit back, but if you're unlucky enough you However just hit on a dishonest landlord, you may have to bring it up yourself.
   • Make sure the landlord does not shy away from your questions. Insist - it may not be easy to bring up, but it shouldn't be the case that doing so should not make your landlord withhold the security deposit you so badly need.
