This is the most powerful message I have read this week for my part of my experience with most of my friends who are leaving the job.and it happen other way round also.The advice is—-Dont let yourself be carried by emotions.All the negatives encounters are part of you positve experience in life.The negatives things you see are to harden you up to struggle hard in apositive way for your future.You never know what tomorrow holds for you.

Nice Message.
I completely agree with the thought that there is no point spreading negativity once you are going to leave a place.One should know how to play safe in the corporate world.How ever giving a frank opinion in Exit Interview may be a good idea as company officials are aware of the reason leading to attrition.It may also be a good feedback to the existing managers.

Very Nice article. However one should consider the fact that if someone is leaving a job that would not be without any reason. It’s simple that the employee is not happy with company. However I do fully agree that while leaving the job, one should leave with good notes. Employee should participate in exit interview where He/She can mention his/her reservations and company can take those reservations as a feedback to correct every wrong thing so company can hold other good employees.

Being the only PMP in the Projects department, I was very surprised when I was given a two week notice due to “budget cuts”. After going through the phases of shock, disbelief, and then anger, I realized that the best thing to do is to thank the directors for the opportunity of working in their department and swapping contact information with your coworkers. Rather than doing something negative like sending nasty emails, I asked for letters of recommendation. It is a very small world and it’s not a good idea to burn your bridges. To me, it is best to stay positive not only in these last days at work but more importantly when I am with my family.

Excellent article! I agree with it wholly. When I have left jobs, I always make sure I do exactly what I always do… a great job, if not better. This leaves the employer with a feeling that you are leaving to better yourself and hopefully, that they are also losing a good employee. If you are leaving due to other circumstances, such as, no chance of a promotion, then I would share this with the employer because hopefully, they will see they should have a succession plan in place. Keeping employees actively engaged and learning more about career ladders will reduce turnover, and keep new employee training costs down. Have a great day all.

Great article. Thank you Jenny for summing it up. My rule is – Business is business, don’t take it personally! And even if you are canned – well, it is a great opportunity for you to find new job, new colleagues and new horizons.

Very much true that what goes around always comes around, so before leaving an organization never leave a bad impression to the employer.
