Folks, even resigning from an employer you don't enjoy working for is gut-wrenching. I wanna make sure you know what to do, how to do it, and go out with some style. Join me for this. Also, please SUB to the channel for new videos weekly and live office hours on Thursdays! --Andy
i have an upcoming final interview this month. I just resigned from my previous job in a private company but i was there for only 2 mos because i decided to focus all my energy in preparing for the interview of this government institution. Is it necessary to state in my interview that i was in a private company for only 2mos? or should i keep it for myself?
Hello. How can I reach out to you for some coaching?
I resigned, I guess, all the wrong way. I bought your book but didn't realize there was a chapter on resigning!
Iâve resigning tomorrow with no job lined up. I do not care because the job makes me miserable.
I feel you. Iâm resigning tomorrow with no plan B
All the best! Hope you made it through!
Me soon. But after I go, I just wanna go for my long awaited short overseas vacation undisturbed (keyword)
Yes. Sometimes you just have to. Put yourself first. Everything will work out.
I love all of you in this thread, much needed, I've been in finance for so long and just want out. Going to resign this Friday and then take a much needed Xmas break after my notice period.
Iâm planning to resign tomorrow. My boss 100% wonât see that coming. I honestly donât like him but I am planning to keep it professional and follow your approach. Wish me luck !
Yes, keep it professional. Best of luck!! You've got this!
Same here
Iâm planning to do the same tomorrow for the exact same reason lmao
@@mauricioalejandro74 good luck and keep it professional! Make sure you know what you want. Do you want to resign and leave or ask for a counteroffer. If you want to leave donât be hesitant. In addition, donât believe most of the promises you will receive from your bossđ
@@Mawesome111 I plan to break the news at 5 pm right before I leave. Lol
The hardest part is contemplating quitting your job. It can be just as stressful as the job itself. Believe me, any company you quit we be just fine without you. You either quit or not.
I will be putting in my 2 week notice today. I'm nervous as hell! They are great people but I got an opportunity I just can't let pass by. My issue is company loyalty, I've stayed at crap jobs just for the reason I don't want to leave my peers understaffed... but I need to focus on what is best for me..
Update: I love my new job and am thankful I made that scary step forward. I hope you all had same great experiences.
Huge congrats đđđŸđ Victor!
@Victor I'm in this boat right now. I dread going to my teaching job, that I just recently started late October. I feel very much like you felt. I love my boss(principal). She is the one who vouched for me since she knew how I worked in the previous school she was Dean at. There are great people and co workers, but one co worker said don't quit because we'll have to step in and pick up the slack. If that isn't telling, I don't know what is. How are you doing in your new role?? Blessings
Two weeks notice is a relic of the past. The days of giving that are outdated like a paper application
resigned this AM! I feel so liberated!
Glad to hear! Wishing you all the best.
Nice.
Resigned yesterday - itâs very easy folks. Kept it short & sweet. Expressed my appreciation & gratitude for helping me get my foot in the door in the industry. Told him verbatim that I was resigning effective today and was willing to stay on for another week or two to help out if he wanted and if not thatâs no problem - of course he said donât worry about. Itâs very rare that they take you up on the two weeks in the sales game bc for whatever reason they think youâre going to take clients. Anyway, Iâm excited for my new endeavor and now I have a little two week vacation before I start my new job!
Congrats!!!
No job offer. Just moving on with my life and starting my own e-commerce business. I was planning on speaking with my manager tomorrow but it seems like weâre gonna have a 1on1 meeting in about 15 mins and I wasnât prepared. So here I am. Good luck to me đ€Ł
How did it go?
I bet it was flakyâŠ.
How did it go?
11/5/21 Updates please ... âș
Don't leave us hanging. How did it go?
"Need a fresh start" - I'm totally using it. Thanks for the advice!
Good luck đđ!!
That IS good!! Ive been thinking about this as well for over a year now. I need a fresh start!
I like it too.
I actually definitely feel like I need a fresh start because I'm no longer growing where I am.
I'm using this too.
Years ago my boss asked me why i was resigning? (He knew the surface reason why, everybody did). I said, in a word.. YOU. for my career to progress i have to get away from you.
I hate my job and Iâm moving but I donât want these nosy people to know where Iâm going to move at and what job I have
@@shutit4024 Don't tell them then. I made that mistake. The next day they rang my new boss trying to cause trouble for me. It worked.
@@kdlofty the next company I am going to be working for, I let them know in advance and they know how most employers are so they donât care and I made sure not to tell my boss or her minions
Lmao! I should say that to my manager. âIâm resigning not because of you or co workers but because of the ownerâ in my case it was the pompous owner
@@kdlofty Exactly- a perfect example.
This video showed up in my inbox at the right time.
Glad to be timely.
Congratulations
Good luck
SameđŻ
I gave two months because I liked my managers, ended up needing my job back and got it. Donât burn bridges.
Good for you!!
Two months or two weeks?
@@haha-cm6pg Months
The best advice ever! I found myself in the same situation as you. My old company welcomed me back with open arms, and told me they were happy I came back.
You wonât need a bridge if you have a boat đ€
Another tip : Apply the same strategy of sharing to your co-workers when you quit. I think it is fine (not obligated) to share with your "friend" co-workers in a few months later after you already settle down in the new job. But nonetheless, less sharing is always the best option.
Thanks for sharing!!
This is absolutely true as many coworkers are additional ears to management. Great tip!!
đđđ
đđ Iâm not telling anyone anything and for those that have my number itâs âohhh Iâm taking time off to figure out next stepsâ, they are like sieveâs where I work.
@@andylacivita you're totally right! I do believe even when co workers can be great friend and collĂšgue and sharing fraternity it's good not to say too much the moment you resign and told the more information after you start your new job.
Thanks so much for posting this. I will be soon 63 years old, and have been in banking for 37 years. I've had several life changing events over the past couple of years, i.e., death of parents, death of siblings, and it makes you realize what is important in life. And for me now, what is not important to me is remaining with my current employer. I've decided to resign and enjoy the rest of my life.
Your video has given me inspiration to handle my resignation with class,
Love to hear it my friend. Not, of course, some of the live events youâve endured in the past few years but that I somehow gave you a bit of insight that helped. đ
Great!!!! Hope you are doing well. Posting this comment on 1.25.24.
I watched this when i got a job that doubled my salary last year. Im watching this again now after getting a job offer that will double my vacation days from 2 weeks to 4 weeks and a 30% pay bump for a similar mid-level position.
Congrats!!!đŸđđđ
Awesome!! Great job
I've watched several videos of yours and they've helped me a LOT. I'm in aerospace and went from 90k a year to 100k+ now and working 100% remote. I gotta say your videos have changed my life to the point I am accelerating my retirement.
YES! Orlando, this is so amazing to hear! Big congrats buddy!!
Call me classless. I resigned with an email (worded it exactly how the vid says you should)but I did not give my supervisor or manager a phone call prior to the email. I hated them that much. Also they were new management after prev one retired.
They also in turn did not reach out to me to talk about my departure during the final two weeks. Kinda solidified why I was resigning in the first place
Andrew, I had decided leave my retail corporate job two months ago and watched your videos on interviewing do's/dont's, and subscribed of course. I am proud to say that I landed an amazing job that offered me much more than what I was asking. Thank you for all of your guidance, amazing videos and mentorship. - Avalos
Great to hear this Nubia! Huge congratulations on the new role!
This is probably the greatest advice out there. I have another job lined up that starts a little under a month but I honestly like the company I work for and my coworkers/ boss (i just dont like my job role). I on the other hand want to give a 3 weeks notice because I respect my co workers and want to give enough time to have someone be brought on board and give a smooth transition. I've been dreading talking to my boss about resigning because we get along well and this feels like a break up in a sense. I'll just go straight to the point and not leave any gaps for him to make a counter offer or convince me to stay
Glad it helped! If you're looking for more on this, especially the part about your gap in time between the jobs, check out the more full and current version here: czcams.com/video/UTtm7niqqB8/video.html
I just need a fresh start. Using this MONDAY!
I'm a janitor. I doubt there is a way to start, work or quit the job with class. People look down on you like a piece of turd no matter what you do. I'm giving no notice. The truth is, we are slammed hard. I am just one of three people left in a department with eight+ positions (the + represents the four part timers we're supposed to have but do not have). We're so desperate they're now talking about bringing in a contractor to pick up the slack. I started an LLC, my own cleaning company, and told them to contract me to take care of the weekend shift, for which there is not one person to cover it. They refused, saying they only need mandatory overtime me to cover it whenever they wish. And if they bring in the contractor of their choice, my role in the department will change entirely and I will no longer be doing my job, but something else.
Give me one good reason why I should give notice before quitting.
Never complain, never explain.. im leaving thatâs it
Good words!!
I just walked in on my last day of vacation and said I can no longer work there with my back.
That is true.
But the mental damage and toxic environment were also major factor but didn't tell them that.
Been there over 20 years.
That's exactly how I feel - give the news personally over the phone or in person. Then give the formal note to said people and anyone that was a part of the hiring process.
Good to hear Julie B!
The only reason I watched this video is to see if I did it right. I did every one of my resignation the right way. I gave them the reason they cannot meet, I want to work closer to home (pre COVID), I want to work in a different field. Just remember once you are resigning, you have the upper hand, but donât over play it. Just resign and move on. This is a reason they are the EX.
So on point here. Good for you.
Hi Andrew, I am currently a teenager working my first job, your videos have been very helpful. I have had my current job for going on 6 months and put all my effort into my job, my employers are very good and my boss is lovely but I have too many commitments and need to finish school. This and the work schedule I received (I work everyday we are open, regularly scheduled) just make the job unattainable for me. Recently my coworkers and I received an email that we could not request time off during the month of march as my boss would be away and weâd need all hands on deck. (There are 6 of us total) Unfortunately my school commitments have me out of town during that time and I am handing in my two weeks notice this week. Thank you for the confidence and advice!
I should clarify I wouldnât be out of town the entire month obviously, just 3 days that would be out of my vacation time
Great advice Andrew. Much appreciate it. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Nothing but truth and knowledge. Thanks for the advice!
My pleasure!
Thank you so much for this. Iâm quitting my job today. I have a really good relationship with everyone, and my new job is just a huge step up professionally for me. I want to tell them why, and the feedback to tell them things they canât address is huge. Thank you.
Great to hear! Best of luck.
This is great advice because if the shoe was on the other foot, your company would blow you out in two seconds. Say you're leaving in a nice way, done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You DO NOT need to give 2 weeks notice. I wish people would stop this. They won't give you 2 weeks notice when you are fired.
Try this when you're fired: demand 2 weeks notice from the firing period.
đ
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
From what Iâve always been told, itâs best to check your contract for this, most standard contracts will state that you must give 2 weeks notice if quitting
But the idea is that if they fire you, than they already have the plans set to replace you, so they donât need 2 weeks.
Itâs not about being nice to the employee, itâs about the company
You can ask for 2 weeks but they arenât obligated to give it to you
THATâS WHAT I SAY!!! I agree with you.
Australian standard is 4 months in the contract.
Thank you! Great advice
Youâre welcome!
I've worked for a small company for almost three years. I love the people because we've grown so close. However, I've reached the sealing. I've been given an offer at a bigger company with better career growth prospects. I hate the fact that I'm leaving the guys, but I need to think for myself in 20 years time when I have a family to take care of. Thanks for the vid. I know my speech now
So spot on, it's kinda scaryđ
Recently thought about how to leave my current job, and just 1 day later, thisđ
Thanksâ€
Iâm a mindreader. đ
THANK YOU brother.... I'm nervous about doing this. But your video has helped.
Hang in there buddy! You got this!
Perfect timing I have to do this in two days and I definitely wanted to be professional about it because of the length of time spent at my current company. Thanks Andrew!
You're welcome!
What Andrew says is the right think and dont even give any reason why leaving, even if you want to stick it to them because you got a better position and salary. Even though is tempting to do it, dont burn bridges when you leave places, even though some managers deserve to be stick with a fork.
Thanks Andy, your video is really inspiring and also reminds me about why did i look for job at the first place
Great to hear!
Thank you for posting
Youâre welcome!
Iâm dreading having this conversation and this video helped me think of my game plan and put my mind at ease. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! You've got this!
Great video! I'm getting to ready to submit mine. I enjoyed working at the university. My wife and I decided to move closer to our family.
Best of luck!
Really glad found your channel dont feel like jumping off the bridge anymore
Great to have you!
This is what I really needed. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Feeling very confidence after watching. Thankyou for this video. Much love.
That's great to hear. You are so welcome!
3:50 - 4:15 is a piece of incredible advise that no other video I have found has recommended. I will be using this. Thank you for the advice
Glad to hear it Erin!
Listen to this just before I walked into my bossâs office. Thanks for the advice!
Youâre welcome Gabe!
Thank you for this
Youâre welcome!
Thanks for the advice man it's always tricky quitting, This is my first resignation letter I've ever written.
You got this buddy. Lots of luck and congrats on the new job!
Thanks, Sir. I need this today.
You're very welcome!
I think I overthink these things. I want to be respectful, but I am also being paid less then those I am supervising and in a not so good environment. This really is a simple and classy way to address this without making it a big deal. Thank you! Personally awaiting my next steps.
The correct answer is always to leave to opportunities that align with your career goals. Anything else usually gets you marked as non-rehire.
I love this!! And it was funny thank you!
Youâre so welcome!!
Andrew this is perfect thank you
Glad it helped!!
Straightforward talk,âșïž
Thank you sir, this has helped me immensely
Glad to hear it!
No because I am smart & I am not gonna tell you anything until I know I am gonna leave lol đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł Amazing video Thanks a lot! Love from India â€
Lol, so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your kind words.
Iâm putting my two week notice tomorrow and I needed reassurance that I am doing the right thing for me and my career. Wish me luck!
Good luck!!!đđ
Very helpful perspective. đ
Glad to liked it!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
This the best video I could find on the topic
Great to hear!
Thanks. That was really helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
@@andylacivita I was thinking to resign by just sending an email. You gave me words and wisdom to resign properly. I resigned yesterday and it all went very well. As you said in a classy way. So thanks a lot once again.
I put in my two weeks yesterday with a company I have enjoyed working for over the past year. This morning my manager blows up my phone and e-mail wanting to talk about my decision, first thing they did was make it my problem by saying I shouldnât have blind sided them and immediately wanted to know how they could make it better(though I donât believe they can), especially after they denied my yearly 3% increase in April and am now requesting an extra 6/hour.
I felt a relief after watching ur video...as i was thinking about resigning bt i was confused how to talk about it with them as i am not enjoying working at my workplace currently...thank you so much
Glad to hear!!
Congrats, Wade!
So I can make an impromptu resignation. Great help! đ
Great advice!
Glad you think so!
Thanks!
Youâre welcome!
Thank you đ
Youâre welcome!
Exactly the video I needed.
Love to hear this!!
@@andylacivita keep up the good work
Thank you for this. Best video despite the lower views.
Thank you Erick!
Here's what I'm going to say if they ask why I'm leaving or going into that role:
"Well, after learning more and more about the role, I realized this is an opportunity that I see myself enjoying."
Keep it vague. So vague that it basically says nothing đ
Thank you
You're welcome!
Great tips! Make sure you have your new offer in writing before letting your current employer know.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, a written job offer provides confirmation.
Andrew, the amount of free content you provide that changes lives is astounding. I have personally benefited from a lot of your free content the last few weeks and will be picking up some of your paid material to support your work.
On timeframe, I find myself with a compelling job offer and I just started a week of vacation. My new employer is fine with starting in 3 weeks instead of 2. Do I resign while on vacation and offer 3, or wait to tell them until I'm back and only offer 2?
EDIT: just found this answered in another post. 10 working days is the respectful approach and that's what I'm staying in my resignation letter.
Happy to hear this, Micah! Best of luck and enjoy your vacation!
Actually just heard back this evening after my counter. They came close to my request and I am excited about working for the company so I agreed and start in a few weeks. Appreciate your wisdom in this great content. I've been raving to friends and colleagues about you. You are so underrated I don't know how that sub count isn't 3-4 times higher.
@@micahthedutch Micah!! Yeah baby!! Huge congratulations đđđđŸ to you. Iâm so happy to be able to support you a little on your journey. Yes, please share me with your friends! đđđ
@@andylacivita the last sentence is super sus
I'm gonna quit in 8 weeks and counting. 1 week after I walk out the door, a massive 5 day new standard re-certification is gonna drop, they have all forgotten about. All your dudes.
I like your thoughts, great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good timing on suggesting this video CZcams!
Glad it helped!!
Manager: "Ok, let's talk about your end of year review and compensation" Me: "I don't know how long you have allocated for this meeting, and that there is no real good way to say this. So, I'm going to just say this. "I'm giving you my two weeks notice." ... Silence on his part over the phone.
Always good to give your two weeks notice.
The exact same thing happened to me on my last job. Reviews and raises were supposed to happen in January. When she finally got around to it in March, I told her don't bother. I'm resigning. đ€·đŸââïž
After multiple attempts asking for a raise, finally got called in to discuss. Manager: âLetâs see, youâve been here for 12 years and youâve been a tremendous help to our company. We are happy to offer you a $5,000 bump up to your salary.â Me: âoh wow.. umm thatâs ok, KEEP IT, I think you need it more than me. Hereâs my 2 weeks notice.â Manager was silent. And i went straight home. Next 2 weeks was the silence. Last day he didnât even show up to work to bid farewell. Wow i guest thereâs not return bridge.
@@andylacivita nah two weeks notice is ridiculous. Amazing companies have belred that into the work culture. They will not give us 2 weeks notice if we're fired.
I work a job that is unsafe and took another job offer. We have had 6 people injured in the last month and people being forced to work triple shifts for no good reason. I feel that my safety is more important and going into this new job without a busted knee is most important. I am thinking about resigning without a notice because the situation continues to deteriorate
Andy! The interview King.
đ
If my new company wants immediate start, all I can offer is one week. I understand the 2 wks but I am not giving up a better opportunity just for courtesy cause they would walk me out without any cause.
đđđđ
Great work
Nice talk
Thanks a lot!
I love your energy
Thank you so much for that @Kameron!
I already donât like my job but after this year they will no longer buy back unused vacation time. I have too many hours so I think Iâm going to make my last day be dec 29 and sell back the vacation time. And get out. Plus they keep threatening me with performance even though Iâve told em itâs too much and that like so many others in this position quit or get fired. Last year 1/3 of the associates quit.
I work for a large corporate investment firm. Iâm not willing to risk all that vacay time getting lost bc I get fired for unreasonable expectations. Plus the extreme multitasking we do is really affecting me mentally. Iâm close to all the employees. I am pretty sure almost all elate looking for a new job.
Iâve saved up a couple years living expenses so Iâm just gonna take a sabbatical.
"Employers don't like to be fired. They wanna let you go on their time, not your time." đđ So true
Dang right!
Nice and helpful đ
So glad to hear!!
I am resigning from a job and itâs a little harder due to the fact I had gotten this job through a family friend and that family friend is my bosses boss. I am using everything you had talked about and I want to keep it as professional as possible even though my relationship with my boss is very friendly and non professional. I hope he doesnât take it the wrong way. Wish me luck!
In that case I would put emphasis in my personal growth and how important to me is that new path I am taking, if your boss is a friend or considerate enough, will understand and support you.
It helps!
So glad!
Was just writing my resignation from my nursing job. Thanks!
Best of luck! :)
I recently resigned. Things are a bit different in my country, so the notice period is 3 months. There's nothing wrong with my current job, boss or employer, but I got an offer which was simply more exciting for me, and for once I wanted to pursue a different opportunity. I was completely upfront about why I accepted the offer, and my boss let me know that I would be welcome back if should want to.
If I had been dissatisfied with my current job, I might have been a little bit less forthcoming about my reasons, but I believe you should always be honest, polite and professional. There is nothing to be gained from slamming the door, other than a tarnished reputation.
Well said!
3 months resignation period. Wow, thatâs a long resignation period.
@@carladw3380 same here in Sweden. Im going to resign tomorrow
@@carladw3380 I guess in some places people don't hate their jobs as much.
Great channel! â€ïž Thank you!! My upcoming resignation would actually be a transfer to a different department-same company. I am a nurse working in a clinic inside a hospital. Felt I needed to share my desire to transfer with my current leader (after 20 years) because my current leader would find out anyway. I am sure my new manager within the organization would consult my current manager.
5 years ago I even talked with my current leader about my desire to look for other opportunities. She understood and was supportive. Please explain how to resign if itâs a transfer within the company.
Youâre not resigning but transferring. This is something that should be handled inside the organization and both units should be aware of this. I would simply be communicating with both sides.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
I never burn my bridges. I have become jaded by companies who say you are at-will, yet demand two weeks resignation but give you 1 hour notice to clear out your desk. How about giving YOU 1 hour notice?
I agree on never burning bridges. You never know where your paths may cross again.
i agree ..companies demand loyalty but almost never give it...
I have burned some bridges and I have never regretted it. I was certain that they were bridges that I would never cross for any reason.
When a bridge is so shoddy that it's in danger of collapsing under you at any second, it's best to burn it to the ground.
A previous job of mine required 3 weeks notice in the Employee Handbook if you wanted to leave in good standing. Meaning you get your unused PTO pay out (legal to withhold in my state since it's in the handbook) or if you want to be eligible for re-hire in the future.
It's probably an edge case, but there are times where 2 weeks isn't the right choice.
Yes, of course. Comply with your corporate rules.
How am I supposed to know to give my 2 weeks notice if my job donât even have an employee handbook or anything in the job stating that? All I know is at my job we have to give a 30 day notice to take a vacation for a day or week I was told it goes by that ( Radom person on the Internet told me) so I guess I was supposed to give a 30 day notice?
@@shutit4024 No. If no handbook, just give the industry standard 2 weeks.
Disagree. You donât have to give the notice they suggest in the handbook if youâre in an at will state. Give the 2 weeks. Youâll screw yourself.
I think it is best to NOT tell why you are moving on. Better to be gracious and say how much you've enjoyed working there and being a part of the team. I never give a reason why because very important to never, ever burn bridges. Plus some industries are so small that everyone knows everybody so best to keep my mouth SHUT!
Always best not to burn bridges! You never know when your paths may cross again.
So then how do you phrase it or answer them when they ask why.
@@avapilsen I just repeat how much I appreciated being a part of the team and say again what I had already said. If pushed a 3rd time, I lean slightly forward and lower my voice volume a little and say, "Thank you for your time." My industry is far too small to ever say the real "why". I will be changing jobs in April. I don't have to explain or justify my choices to anyone. đ
@@happycook6737 Thank you! I'm 23 and fairly new to this stuff.
@@avapilsen If I could go back in time to when I was 23!!! I would tell myself, find a way to do everything the cheapest way possible and save/invest most of my money. I wasted so much on clothes, make up, hair, eating out, etc. Find a job with pension after 25 years of service like military. I envy those who get that money paid monthly for rest of their lives!
One thing to add:
When you are leaving, no matter how pissed at your company you are or how much your boss is a Dick:
Always say Thank You.
You don't have to blow smoke up their arse and tell them it was wonderful working with them if it wasn't, but ultimately - you both benefited from the arrangement - you got paid and got experience, they got the value of your labour.
So say as you are leaving, show some gratitude.
Just spoke to my immediate Sales Manager this morning about my intention to resign giving 2 weeks notice just 1 month into my new job as I donât feel I can adapt to their sales tactics. Happy that I took the right step after watching your video.
Glad to hear this!!!
Yes best to cut your losses and resign right away if new job isn't a great fit. Then you can avoid listing it on your resume too.
It was so funny my sister resigned from her car sales position to go back to school recently. Their protocol is to resign the same day (so youâre not taking leads for 2 weeks or doing nothing).
It's simply a different type of organization. Many of these exist for sure.
i gave my boss two weeks notice and he asked why and i told him i was going back to school......total lie..i hated the place but he has alot of connections in my field so no sense burning a bridge...
Ok. Probably smart.
I will do tomorrow.
Hope this video helped you.
