The document provides guidance on resigning from a job properly. It advises to (1) meet with your employer face to face to resign, (2) be prepared for different reactions from your employer but remain composed, and (3) think carefully about any counteroffers as most people who accept them still end up looking for another job within 6 months. It also suggests working your notice period professionally to leave on good terms in case your career paths cross again.

Should quitting be viewed as a sign of weakness in business?
An opinion by Safaraz Ali
Winners never quit, quitters never win? Actually, they do
Quitting is often seen as a weak trait; quitters are people who can’t handle it, who can’t be bothered, who simply don’t care. But often people who do quit do it because they understand when it’s the right moment to walk away from something. Winners know when and how to quit. If something isn’t going well, persisting at it isn’t the answer. Willpower and wishful thinking don’t get you what you want, but reassessing and trying again might. This isn’t weak; it’s good business sense, and will save you time and money in the long run.

This article, while in some ways aimed at those who have recently graduated from college or are about to, takes a look at job satisfaction that anyone exploring the concept for the first time should find useful. Some people are able to live their entire lives whilst being able to tolerate a miserable existence at work. Yet it seems as though more and more people are fed-up with having to live such a duality...rather, they want to feel satisfied and fulfilled with their work.
While it's nice to see the depersonalisation and mechanisation of labor that has occurred over the past 100+ years is being in the real world...where do we draw the lines here? At some point you have to just say "work is work" and march along so you can pay your bills each month, right?
Well...Yes. But much more importantly, no. Regardless of if you're currently unemployed or currently working a job that you hate, at the very least there's a better way of looking at things. And more than likely, there's probably a more satisfying way of doing them.
You need to believe, understand and see the opportunities that are already present in your current job. Further, you need to focus on your strengths and not your weaknesses.

Resigning
1. A Blusource Guide to
Resigning
the right way
I want to
stay on good
terms with my
employer
2. First things first....
Resigning
The Meeting - Telling them
face to faceDo you actually want to leave?
Have you written down the pros and cons
of moving on?
Do you know that this will be a good move
for you?
If you have been looking for a new role, that would
indicate there are issues with your current one.
You could be looking for career development, new
challenges, better money or location, but whatever it
is, have you explored whether the issue(s) could first
be solved by your current employer?
Some may fear resigning, but leaving a business
does not have to be bad experience. People enjoy
the feeling of taking charge of their own destiny and
usually find the process quite liberating. If something
is holding you back in any way (which is probably why
you are looking to move on, directly or indirectly), to
release yourself from those shackles, to do something
about it is inspiring. I often see when one person
leaves an organisation, it can often trigger colleagues
to look at improving things for themselves.
If you are prepared for it, you will enjoy it, because if
you are prepared and have accurately weighed up the
pros and cons, you will know whether you are doing
the right thing.
• Prepare what you are going to say and
stick with it in the meeting. I don’t mean
prepare a speech, but they may ask in-depth
questions which you may not want to answer just
yet. Making them understand the benefits for you
in moving on will help them come to terms with
it, but you don’t have to go into all of the detail if
you don’t want to. However, don’t be obstructive
and let them know you will do whatever you can
to help in terms of a handover.
• Be positive, highlight the benefits of what your
new role will mean to your life, rather than talking
of any negatives about your current employer
• Be prepared for different ways they
may take the news, you might be surprised
by how they react. Some employers can take it
personally or tell you that you are letting them or
the team down (you aren’t) and could become
either confrontational or emotional – either way,
retain your composure and stick with what you
had prepared to say. The truth is, if they truly want
what is best for you as an individual and they
understand why you are moving, their reaction
should be “Congratulations! Hope it all goes well
for you”. If however they react badly, do they really
have your best interests at heart or is just because
it is an inconvenience for them or because it may
cost them money to replace you?
You may have an urge
to tell your boss in no
uncertain terms why you
are leaving, but have
you thought about the
longer term...
There are good and bad ways
to resign and you need to
remember you are likely to need
that employer to give you a
reference (not just for your next
job, but maybe the one after that
if your career path progresses
or changes). You also don’t
know where your career may
cross paths with those of your
employer in the future.
To resign the right way, be
positive, prepared and expect
that your employer could react
in a way you weren’t necessarily
expecting (positively or
negatively). Have your
reasons for
leaving clear
in your mind
3. Think very
carefully about any
counter offer
PS...
Finally, good luck in your new role.
Hope it goes well!

guide about how to
make an impact in
your new job….
What if they make you
a counter-offer?
Working your notice
You should take any counter offer seriously, but you
need to ask yourself:
• Are they offering me what I really want?
• Have they addressed all the reasons I was looking
to leave in the first place?
• Why has it taken until now for them to offer this
to me?
• Now you have handed in your notice, will your
employer think you are fully committed to them
going forwards?
• How would you, accepting a counter-offer,
affect the potential new employers’ view of your
integrity? You never know when your paths with
may cross again.
Whilst accepting a counter-offer can sometimes solve
the problem, studies have shown that overwhelmingly,
most people who accept a counter offer will be
looking for another role again within 6 months!
• The actual length of your notice period should
be stated in your contract and whilst you can
negotiate around that if you wish, be prepared
that you are obliged to work it and to complete
all outstanding tasks where possible.
• Make sure you leave on a good note; people
remember first and last impressions. Chances are,
the way you work your notice will be their last
impression of you. You may have worked there for
20 years and done a great job, but that can all be
undone by leaving on a sour note. Plus, knowing
you have done a good job when you have finished
will feel good for you too.
• Who do you think gets the better reference? The
person who works their notice but doesn’t really
care about what they are doing, or the one that
does it to the best of their ability as if they weren’t
leaving at all.
• Be positive with colleagues as again, you never
know when you will come across them again
in your career. Being very negative about your
employees whilst working your notice won’t
generally go down well. Let them know if you
have enjoyed working with them and give
them support.
Leave a good
impression - you
never know when you
will cross paths with
colleagues again
