Worst Ways to Quit Your Job
It is better not to leave your current job under these circumstances, if you can help it.
1. Don’t Quit When You Are Going Through A Bad Time
Just use your common sense and don’t leave your job if you currently have a lot of financial obligations, especially if you are under debt and you don’t have any other job lined up.
2. Don’t Quit When You Don’t Have Negotiating Power.
If you have another job lined up, you will have some negotiating power and may be able to work out better terms with your employer or may even consider counter-offers.
3. Don’t Announce Your Departure Through Email, Fax, Phone or Post-it note.
This way you will definitely burn your bridges instantly. Your boss surely won’t appreciate it, and your chances for getting references from your former employer will be nil. Therefore even if you hate it, you still need to be polite about your leaving.
4. Don’t Leave By Making A Dramatic Exit
It would be very lame of you to make a dramatic scene out of your leave. No one would want an emotional departure from a co-worker.
5. Avoid Becoming Overly Emotional
Try to act professionally. Becoming emotional is as lame as making a scene, it’s embarrassing to be less than businesslike in a professional situation.
6. Don’t Leave Suddenly and Without Warning
It is unprofessional and immature to ditch your job without a decent warning. This will also be an excellent way to ruin your track record. A proper resignation, together with a decent time period should be granted to the employer just out of respect and courtesy.
7. If You Go, Don’t Take Other Colleagues and the Company’s Clients
This is the most unethical thing an employee can do. But surprisingly, it’s not uncommon for this to happen. Although such a practice may be acceptable in some circles, it is unwise for a professional to so this.
