What Do You Say When Quitting?

What Do You Say When Quitting?

By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter

There is no benefit to you by quitting your job and telling everyone about the many ways you were wronged while working there. All it does is make people not listen to any advice you may later offer. Instead, you should just give your manager a note that says, “I am resigning my position today. My last day of employment is (whatever day it is). I appreciate the opportunity I have had here and working for you, but I was approached about a role that I thought was too good to refuse.”

“I’m disappointed to be losing you. Who are you going to work for, what will you be doing and how much will you be paid?”

“I don’t want to go into that. I just want you to know that I am quitting and my last day is . . .”

Keep the entire conversation polite and professional. You never know where this person might be working in the future and whether they can affect you being interviewed and hired at some point in the future.
