How to Resign Nicely (& Stay Classy!)
So you’ve got a better job offer or had enough at your current workplace that you want to call it quits.
Whatever your reason, changing jobs is normal, and it’s important to leave your job on good terms as you'll never know who you’ll cross paths with in the future.
I have personally resigned from at least two jobs in my career. But, looking back, some parts could’ve been handled more tactfully.
In this video, I will share with you how to resign nicely & how to write a short resignation letter so you can quit without burning any bridges.

Thank you so much for your advice. Will follow this exact guide!
If the environment is toxic, a 2 week notice might be too long.

I have a 1 month notice during probation. Unfortunately I had to tell them I have health issues which is half truths since the other half is me and the issues I cannot stand with management/HR/managers and the overall toxic environment

How about I'm going to resign due to mental health or bcoz due to toxic of work environment.
What if you have a 60 day notice and can’t fulfill that due to toxic environment? Want to resign immediately
What if I just want to quit but without another job lined up? Just say personal reasons?
Your so good

Its true that most people quit because they got another job. But some quit and don't have another job yet. They gave a white lie about having personal plans and changes in their life etc - thats the reason they give to their boss. Because they are actually afraid to tell their boss they found another job because your boss tells you how valuable you are to the company but there are some major factors that make want to leave....
My lead resigned 3 weeks ago and now I don't have any supervisor. Should I directly send a resignation email to HR or should I talk to her in person about resigning? but I really want to resign.

Depends on your company. Since you already talked to your direct supervisor, better ask him/her what is the company's policy for resigning.

@@helmi_finance It's never easy to arranged video call before emailing even though it is common courtesy. Resigning for most people are not an easy thing to do and I personally do have fear of arranging video call before sending the resignation letter. I know all the right way of resign but to carry out and overcome the fear of resign is overwhealming, can you please share how people can overcome these fear I know that resigning isn't the end of the world, and you also don't want to tell too much about your next adventure with your current employer. Be polite and nice and professional about it during your exit period but I really prefer to send resignation letter and then schedule video call about it. Look forward to your suggestion what people can do to overcome their fear thank you.

Can they fired you during your last two weeks.
Whack giving the company notice. I would not give them the opportunity to mess with me before quitting... I hear what you're saying, sir, but certain racial classes of folks get harassed on the way out. Your advice doesn't work for all employees.

I am in a situation where I do have a job line up and it starts mid next month and where I work the notice period is 1 week. Sounds a lot easier to quit the job right, well not exactly the company salary payment cycle is 1 month and they paid mid of the month about 14th each month, for 2 weeks in arrears and 2 weeks in advance, when I quit I give 1 week notice period a day after I get paid (from a moral value point of view I feel guilty as I felt like too calculative quit the day I get my monthly paid). However, I will write in my resignation letter that I will work until the end of the month since I have been paid. The hardest part is because my mindset is already not with this company so subconsciously I would work a lot slower than usual and I know that not as professional as it seems, another issue is I already had performance coaching and my boss already told me the area I need to improve on. I really don't know what I should do in this situation to feel a lot less stressed, anyone who can provide me with some sort of suggestion would be much appreciated. There are still approximately 2 weeks after I resign I need to serve after I resign (1 week is notice period and 4 working days extra to cover for them paying me a whole month) and I will not feel like working as I felt extremely stressed for the reason I don't really know, anyone has an idea to help me out would be great thank you.
