The Final Shift

You've given your best and invested a lot in your work. It sometimes happens that things don't always work out. You may not be getting properly compensated for your work. Maybe you just don't see yourself in the company. Whatever the case may be, it would be better that you leave gracefully.

Before you decide to submit that resignation letter, you must first think about the options that you have available. Do you have new employment available? Have you saved enough to get you through a transition of jobs? Have you exhausted all actions to work things out in the office? Once you've considered all of this you'll at least be empowered with options.

Now just because you're leaving the company it doesn't mean that you can go bad mouthing people and leave without notice. It is not professional and reflects badly on you as a person. Do the right thing and submit your resignation letter and serve any remaining work days before the effective date of your resignation. Try to reconcile any differences you have if possible. Taking these steps will ensure that you'll not only have a better reference for your next job but also leave you with an option to return.

Process your exit papers and do all that is required as soon as possible. Delaying action would only restrict your movements.

When you've had your final shift. Take what you have learned and move forward.
