Wonderful thoughts. I have passed thorough this many many times. Every time I resign, emotions usually rise up in my heart to walk straight to my CEO or the HR head and bark off my heart\\\'s content. But when I sit and think about it, I realise that it will only result in bad taste and nothing else is ever going to change.
Resigning gracefully is perhaps as important, if not more important, as attending a job interview. Please remember, it is your boss who could give you a good professional reference for future jobs...and as it was rightly pointed out, you might even return back to the same company.
What about the employer allowing you to leave gracefully?

While it is fine for you to expect to provide adequate period for leaving an organisation, there are organisations that try to ensure that your next employer is not too hot about you coming in because of the hassles they put in. A FI in Mumbai with export import orientation even manages to extort money out of employees who are leaving and their top mgmt. calls the prospective employer bad mouthing the employee. No wonder many of its employees just walk out without saying anything. If the employee has a responsibility, what about the employer?
I do agree resigning gracefully is of importance as an individual.But many organisations even do not acknowledge the resignation letter only to say later that the employee hasn't given sufficient time to blame him and demand money in lieu of notice period.
In more cases employees show more integrity than the boss....As employees do not leave organisations but their boss...
Prefect tips given in the article. I have resigned 4 times and I have followed everything that is said in the article. Few tips: 1. Never speak of new employer, till you join the new place. Telling can only harm you..... 2. In exit interview highlight things for improvement, so that future that place can become better for others. My previous place of work are better that my days. 3. Always transfer information to next responsible, it makes you feel light when you leave. 4. Treat resignation means of change and not the end. We should always remember new place is looking best of ourself. So all is in attitude. Wish all best of future.
Hi, The article good one.These are all known tips,if someone is unaware of these etiquettes being at the professional level then I believe these tips turn out to be hard nuts for him/her to crack. The writer,in the previous article and in this one too,adivices NOT TO TRUST anyone.It could be enough if he writes not to share such things in the organisation.I am mot sure is this a tip or virtue to be inculcated.If the writer advices not trust anyone then, why and how should one trust writer's words. The world exists on the virtues like trust, trustworthiness,faith,belief and so on.He is one advocating the negatives. This will only spread hatred,betrayal,mistrust.In no circumstances should one advice like this.In fact they should write to create love,friendliness harmony and so on, because, many will take advantage of this tip and develop mistrust with evryone they interact with.Remember, always people tend to learn bad things fast and easily.
