Sometimes quitting is a job difficult. We worry about the consequences for our career, the rebuttal from our manager or even just an awkward conversation. Lots of different thoughts can go through your mind: “what if they ask me to stay?”, “what if they offer me a position in a different department that I don’t want?“, “what if they guilt me into staying for another few months or promise me there will be changes, when I know in reality that nothing will change?“. And so on…
In order to deal with these types of issues, I’ve come up with a few tips that have helped clients in the past - now, you can use them for yourself.

I’m 24 and just put in my 2 weeks today. I’m working construction for my uncle in law which made it more awkward than it would for most people. I’m changing careers though and taking up truck driving. So I told him the truth that I just don’t enjoy that line of work (construction) and that I want to try something new and see where it goes. He asked me how much they’d pay me but when I told him he didn’t even try to bargain with me. I’m happy I’m leaving this job. I hated going to work here for the last 2+ years. Of course I didn’t tell him that part.

I have a bit of a shit situation for my boss, just two days ago his most important Employee immigrated to another country because an opportunity presented itself for her to make a change that she wanted. I know he will struggle very much to find a replacement for her and yesterday a similar opportunity presented itself for me to live in a big city without having to pay the insane rent that normally comes with that city. That means the two employees (me and the girl) that he relies most on will leave in the same month. I hope he'll be understanding, I can still work for a month so I hope he can find my replacement in the meantime.

So I'll be there for two days again to help them out and I think a good relationship between me and my boss made is easier for me to leave and that in return now gives them the opportunity to call me and me being willing to help out.

@ronankennedy 2 жыл бұрын

Well, what about being honest in a positive way? For example, 'this has been a good opportunity for me to learn what's important to me'. And then you could follow up with a 'I feel it's the right time for me to move on...'. How does that sound to you?

@@shutit4024 I made the mistake of telling them where I was going. But I am not doing that again! Because, they can get in touch with your new employer. They influence their judgement. So don't tell them. Because you have nothing to gain by telling them. Because I told them, now I am going to another job, and they think that I am going to the one they told them about. The plan, I meant the new job. I am happy for you that you found a better job.

Hi Ronan, I hope you're still reading the comments section. What's the best excuse or reason to tell a good manager if I want to resign after 11 months and I still have some minor projects to deliver? I basically want to focus on my mental health, and I hate the job that I'm doing, but I don't want to let the manager know that I hate the job. He hired me over so many applicants, and I don't want to just quit and disappoint him, because I'm hoping that I could use him as my reference for the next job eventhough I think he's not really happy with my performance and maybe he thinks it's just satisfactory. I just want to quit and take a break for 3 months, then find another job, but do you think I could still ask him to be my reference? What is the best way or how is the best way to approach this? Thank you.

@ronankennedy Жыл бұрын

Hi Jack, thanks for your comment. If you knew he was actually happy with your performance, would it make you want to stay? I think the most important thing is to firstly figure out what you want to communicate and secondly how you want to say it. If you want to quit one way or another, you just need to find a script that makes you comfortable telling him. For example, "I've decided that for a combination of personal and professional reasons, it's best for me to move on. But I really appreciate you giving me the opportunity to work here. Thanks for everything you've done for me..." Yeah, you can still ask for a reference once you keep the relationship on the right track.

@higherpurpose1212 Жыл бұрын

@@ronankennedy Thanks Ronan, will take note of your advise. It's not about staying, I've decided to quit in a few months. It's about my mental health and the difficulty of work. Just worried about what could he possibly think given he hired me over other applicants with the expectations that I'll be staying for many many years.

So I've been working at a new job for the last couple of months and with my school starting back up next month, I'm nervous about resigning this job to work for a different job that's flexible for me and to not have stress being built up on me personally and mentally. Is there any kind of things I can say for that or mostly saying what you said in the video?

@ronankennedy 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Awesumwasum, yeah a lot of it I've said in the video. But is there any particular thing you'd like to thank them for? And would you like to explain that you're leaving to have more flexibility? Sometimes it's nice to give the reasons so that people don't feel they're being rejected. Of course, you also have to prepare for the chance that they may ask you to stay if they change something. Would you be interested in that?

@awesumwasum7228 2 жыл бұрын

@@ronankennedy I would say that I would want to thank them for giving me the opportunity to work there (a previous job) and for teaching me skills that I can use in another job so that I'll know exactly how to be prepared.
