- How To Quit Your Job Professionally (or at least not like a jerk...). I know it's tempting to forgo giving your two-week notice and quitting in style, but sometimes it's better to resign from your job in a way that actually preserves your ability to be a boomerang employee. Here's how.

A professional two weeks notice is something employers have to earn and are not entitled to. I'm not afraid of walking out on a bad employer.
This video is assuming you're not leaving a bad employer.
@@ALifeAfterLayoffThen just hand in a typed letter saying:
"
Today's date
Your name
Dear Mr./Ms./Mrs. Doe,
Please accept this letter as notification of my resignation; my last day will be [Friday two weeks from when you turn in the letter]. It has been a pleasure working with you and I wish the team all of the luck in the future.
Sincerely,
Your name"
That's it.
@@ALifeAfterLayoff Thanks for the clarification! I'm in this situation right now and considering leaving.
And if you hear applause in the background as you are walking that is probably me giving you a standing ovation
Perfect comment, i was so upset when i was watching this stupid video that i had problems to convey my comment.
Employers expect two weeks or longer notice to leave but they will give the employee zero notice of a layoff.
The reason why I loved my last job and manager. I got laid off and got a months' notice. HR apologized, no one even made sure I turned in everything. All jobs need to be like them. I've never had that happen.
Many people would love to resign professionally. The problem is the companies act very unprofessionally. You have 30 minutes to leave. Giving two weeks notice was good advice 30 years ago. The places I have worked in corp America have been so toxic that I could only use coworkers as references not former managers. You cant call a firmer company toxic at an intetview. They wont hire you.
This is true
True.
Not always true. I left a horrible job for a better job and only gave 3 days notice. The new company asked why I didn't need 2 weeks and I told them they know I'm unhappy and have been for awhile. They don't care. They only got 3 days because if I quit they have 3 days to give me my final check.
Pfffffft....A two-week notification is enough. When I quit my last job, I knew it would put the department in a bind because I was only one of two people that had my role. Knowing this, I gave my boss TWO referrals of people I knew looking for work who did the exact same job as I did. He didn't call them. On my last day I also was trying to polish up a training manual for whomever took my place, but they shut down my access before the end of the day. I did all I could, which is way more than they would've done if they were to let ME go.
Never worry how someones "emotions" will be when quit. Do you, as the company will do them.
I'm literally getting a job interview at a company a former boss works at because I gave three weeks notice and was friendly and supportive on the way out. Former boss put in a great word for me and I managed to negotiate 15k above the salary range posted for the job.
Never burn bridges unless you absolutely have to.
Small correction: "never burn bridges unless you have a good reason"
I gave notice the second I got my interview, both for the referral and the headsup since it was seasonal work and I'd leave right before season. Their referance hyped me up more than my resume and swayed the hiring department who didn't understand why my manager wanted me so badly.
When she told me I was flabbergasted since most of the workplace was quite toxic and did make efforts to keep me. But I'm glad I didn't burn that bridge out of spite.
Then again I needed every edge I could get, having spend most of my 20s in surgeries and rehabilitation, I'm also written up in a disability registry (it's supposed to provide benefits, but most employers won't hire anyone from there except for minimum wage jobs and responsibilities.) I can't afford to burn any bridges.
I gave my 2 weeks on my last job. At first he was cool about it then told me to hit the door after a week. At first I thought he just wants to save money but later I found out he was telling people that he let me go just to save face. So petty.
Very common.
I left a company i was sure I wouldn't come back to. 11 months later, i went back. 2 years into the comeback, i got promoted. Don't burn a bridge that you don't have to. Give the notice if you can, don't be petty.
I'm a software engineer... I've quit in many ways.... normally two week notice. I had boss at one company that I knew if I put two week notice in he'd just tell me to leave NOW. So I kept getting paid by them until Friday... left at lunch and didn't come back. Started new job on Monday. Another time I gave a 2 week notice but the grass wasn't greener on the other side so they took me back. Another company I put a two week notice in. I liked the company but they weren't big in giving raises. My boss came to me and asked why I was leaving... I said it was monetary. They ask if I would stay on and offered 20K/yr more salary on my next paycheck :)
Gotta be careful with taking counter offers. You might have a target on your back and when the time comes for promotion, you might get rejected. And when layoffs come, you'll be first in line.
Then the question becomes: If they could pay you 20K more to stay, why did the pay increase only come after you were leaving? Every employer does this, and it's virtually never worth staying. They've shown they don't recognize value and will get rid of you the second someone cheaper comes along.
One of my former employers immediately offered a $20K increase after I gave my 2 week notice, which for a recent college grad at that time was significant. However my new job was already paying me more than the increased salary, and I was a little offended that they could afford to pay me more all this time but refused to until I decided to leave. So I respectfully refused.
I found a new position that started at the beginning of the month so I was only able to give my former employer (a hospital) one week. During the exit interview he told me "since you didn't give us two week's notice, you're not eligible for rehire." Then the scene from Star Wars (episode IV: A New Hope) where Luke has to see his landspeeder popped into my head: "I'm not coming back to this planet." Was told from my new manager that what they did wasn't legal.
I understand the "don't burn bridges, it's a small world, etc." but the job had no advancement opportunities, very little time off, lackluster compensation, a hierarchy based on how many sets of initials were following your last name and a fairly violent work environment (hospital security). So the "take this job and shove it" applies here.
When I change jobs, you can't believe how many coworkers and clients give me their private contact details. Some people I have never spoken to want to keep in touch. It's all about networking, folks. Don't burn those bridges.
Networking has such an 80's type connotation but it is very very important. Years ago I left my car dealership job to take up landscaping and my first customers were my old customers! I have plain nice business cards with just my name on, and I can hand write in the contact detail depending on the person I am giving it to.
Lets be honest, no one goes back to their old job and when we need references most people just use a fake referee
Elegance is paramount, never mind if employer doesn't have it, you keep your head high at all times.
I carry a notebook in my bag- on the first page in big letters I wrote "Keep equanimity at all times". It's a word not often used but is a very valuable trait to have!
My current employer has a statement in our handbook that no two week need to be given. I’m fine with that, that means no exit interviews or further conversations; just hit the door. Like most employers, when they are ready to terminate you, it’s right then and there for them. I have worked for 40 years and have always given a two week notice. After 40 years, I am to the point where I am tired of playing the nice guy.
Last job I gave two weeks notice. They got salty about it and started doing microagressions like taking away privileges like working from home because "I resigned" even tho there wasn't any mention of that before or in policy. I came in and quit the next day. They thought I was gonna stay there and make my life a living hell like the last person (I heard the stories later). Nope!
Two weeks used to be the norm and ideally should be the case to prevent burning bridges however lately I’ve heard what tends to happen to some is an employee will send their resignation and then the employer will fire them next day or even same day. That’s not fair and often kills any vacation pay and other benefits.
I also learned the hard way to try and exhaust your vacation before resigning because not all employers will pay that out…legally they’re not required to unfortunately in the U.S.
That's not true. I never exhaust my vacay. I let it hit max so I always have a cushion. Vacation is earned and they have to pay it. Most employers have that in your hiring guide/manual where they tell you the accrual rate and what the cap is.
Company stated they weren’t going to pay my bonus on Monday, I gave notice Friday would be my last day. I was asked why not two weeks. I stated normally I would but I don’t trust you Friday will be my last day.
I've been on an on and off search for a new job this past year and I have to say that your videos have been without a doubt the most helpful in this "journey". It was definitely a struggle and a bit discouraging at some points but I did my best to have a positive outlook and remained persistent. Whenever I had some sort of question regarding my job search, I just looked into the videos you have posted and surely enough you had relevant answers to my questions. I finally received an offer from the company that's been at the top of my list this month and have a confirmed start date of January 2024. Thank you so much for all your help!
Congratulations, that's amazing news! :)
Not disclosing the new employer is especially important. The former employer will have a hard time going after what they consider a non-compete violation if they don't know who the other employer is.
They can find out in a matter of hours if they truly want to.
one time, long long ago, i worked at a gigantic call center. so much turnover there that they had a 90 day "gig" policy. it was a 90 day, "grass is greener" policy that let you leave and the company kept your employee paperwork, credentials, logins etc.. on file for 90 days in case you wanted back in. as long as you were in good standing with the company, they let you come back anytime within 90 days. p.s. if i remember correctly, you could still come back after 90 days but at that point, they deleted your stuff and you had to go back through training. as i recall, it worked fairly well.
Even with a toxic situation, it still doesn't hurt to simply send a neutral letter of resignation- after you have a new position someplace else.
Yep, yep, yep, don't waltz out without making double sure that you have a place to go. And yep, make sure you bring your stuff, all your stuff.
The vague and generic regarding where you are going and why is perfect!
Could you please comment on the more recent phenomenon of companies that retaliate against those employees who do, in fact, give a professional, two-week notice, only to find themselves terminated for giving notice? I had this happen to me recently, only to have it reversed because the company did not have anyone immediately ready to fill the position. It seems more and more companies today are the ones acting unprofessionally, and do so with impunity.
Is this a bad thing? Happened to me too, and I got to enjoy an extra couple of weeks off before starting my new job.
I should also mention that I was the 'Employee of the Year' having established the highest sales increases, year to year, in the company's history. It has become abundantly clear to me that here in the United States, employees are nothing more than disposable utilities, regardless of merit. Modern corporate culture: ain't it "a slice"?
Yes, given that I was relying on the expected income. You see, some of us can't afford to lose 2 weeks pay. The fact that this happened to you too confirms just how unprofessional and dishonorable companies have become. They expect a 2-week notice only to retaliate against you when you give it to them. In the future, I think I will factor this into play and act accordingly. Thanks for the follow-up. It's much appreciated. @@ALifeAfterLayoff
@@cjosephmandolin6341 Your boss was probably just being vengeful and took it personally.
When my previous boss was announcing my resignation to our team, she made it sound so quick and careless, everyone's jaws dropped, including mine. I asked her WTF, she said she was about to start crying and wanted to avoid that.
But we had a great relationship (still do) and she was the second person after my husband to learn I had an interview and when I got a job offer. I did not hide anything from her and she knew I was leaving before my official 2 week notice. She actually even pushed farther my last day by adding all of my sick time that I had left unused. A year and a half later, she still checks in every few months if I want to come back. There were times when she believed in me more than I believed in myself and I will say I grew up as a professional under her more than anywhere else. I would love to work with her again, just not in that company.
Also not all employers will pay out your vacation (legally they don’t have to in most U.S, states) so vacation isn’t always guaranteed…
Companies NEVER give an employee 2 weeks notice. Employees should give them zero notice too.
At one company, I was given a layoff notice in May and allowed to stay til October to make my 9 year anniversary and collect an additional two weeks of severance.
That’s so right. I’m telling my manager “I am accepting another position “ and leaving it like that.
I actually just put in my notice today haha so this is perfectly timed for me.
My mom always told me "walk away with grace"
I quit my hotel job, front desk attendant. I liked my coworkers. But my boss was horrible and wasn’t giving me any hours. He joined us in June. Loved my old boss but when the new boss came he cut my hours to the point that I was only working two days a month. So I gave my 2 week notice and left. I don’t know why he did that to me, as my old boss told me I was doing a great job. I was with them for almost 2 years. I got a better job as a bookkeeper for a small nonprofit and I enjoyed it.
I know this video is for people who are NOT leaving a bad employment situation, but unless the supervisor is truly dangerous, and you need to escape as quickly as possible, I think it still applies. Even if the situation is a bad one, I have found it still makes for a better transition to the new job if you resign and leave on professional terms rather than leaving all your work unfinished, telling everybody what you really think of them, and kicking over the planter in the lobby on your way out the door. The only people you're punishing when you behave like that are the people who are on the same level as you or lower.....including people who didn't do anything nasty to you when you were there. Your now former supervisor doesn't care that some guy or girl who used to work below them thinks they're a sketchball, and the obnoxious people from another department aren't going to come running over to finish up your work or clean up the spilled dirt from the planter. Even if your supervisor is not somebody you could have a real talk with or would want to keep in touch with, it's still best to calmly and politely give notice, then do as much of your work as is reasonable up until the end of your last day, when you clean out your locker or office, say a polite "goodbye," and walk out the door. And even if you seriously don't care about any of those people....word gets around. You don't want a professional reputation as a hothead.
Focusing on getting the best severance possible is far more beneficial than doing anything nasty.
nha you get the f out of their and go enjoy your new job you'll be forgotten in 2 weeks
Great summary of items, I wouldn't have thought of all of them.
Every job which I gave at least a 2 week notice, the next day I was told to gather my tools up & fired. So I never have given a noticed since then.
I did just what you mentioned, but with the exception of a handful of people I don't intend do keep in contact with any of them.
The point being vague is one that I support 100%. When they asked like 2-3 times were I go I just said that I got the opportunity to work as a teamlead in an IT company. Because I was afraid of just that, old employer calling new company behind my back an ruining it for me.
You have no idea how high I can fly. ~ Michael Scott
I just left my first company after 8 years. It was 100% of my career and 2 years in particular, where I did most likely 1000+ hours of free overtime.... (I learned the hardway). Since I am/ was fresh out of school, I was easy to fool. I wouldn say it was a toxic aggressive workplace, but passively toxic. I lost myself over the past years and when I woke up (because I remembered something significant from 10 years ago). I was like: "WTF what have I become!" It took me very long to decide to quit, but my resignation was very rushed and bad executed by me. Im very happy im out, but I definelty messed up that last step up... You can be emotional on the inside, let it out at home. BEFORE u go to work and then do it in a normal cool way... Yes you might feel hatred etc, but dont give in you will regret it!
I like the idea of waiting till your background check and drug test clear. Although, in practice there never seems to be 2 weeks between those things and my start date. Maybe this is just a healthcare industry thing.
If a boss were to surreptitiously try and torpedo your new job I would think that would be grounds for a civil lawsuit.
So does that mean employers can be held to same standard?
Hi Bryan,
I came across your CZcams channel and love your work and content great job. I was wondering if you could make a video on the top companies that are hiring remote workers for people in the filed of social work (mental health) I saw the last video you did on remote workers but I wanted to ask how you research specific remote based companies. I would have loved to have a session with you or take your linked in course but I am unemployed and low on funds and unfortunately cannot afford your current prices. Kindly advise.
Best wishes from Canada
Love the videos and your honesty! Can you tell me if once I submit my 2 weeks notice is my former company obligated to pay for the 2 weeks?
Thank you for this video! I actually enjoy my company but plan to enroll to a new role in the beginning of 2025 because my current company doesn’t have the role I need to advance in my career but they have treated me well so I want to leave jn good standing with them. They are the exception and not the norm because I know the majority of employers, employees don’t feel the same way.
I got laid off in November. It was suppose to be a regular 1 on 1 call.
And boom, instead of just the manager showing up, the HR is the first to join the call.
At that second, I knew what was up.
I quit my last job over text at 4 AM. If you have to go you have to go. You owe them nothing
Wgen a company sabotage everything you do, the force you out there's no other way to quit but as diplomatic as possible.
I would love to see videos on the effects that interest rates, election campaigns, and/or tax deadlines have on how willing employers are to hire new talent.
Interest rates and tax deadlines definitely have a huge impact on hiring decisions. I'm most curious to know how much of an impact political campaigns, especially US Presidential campaigns, have on the hiring process.
And of course I'm referring to the hiring process at US based businesses.
I'm in a bit of a toxic situation, Bryan. And I'm also not in very good standing with my employer. Admittedly some of this is my own fault. Though I'm aware that it take two to tango. But some of this advice is helpful. I don't have a linked in. And my only colleague I'd want to stay in contact with and I have already exchanged numbers. I work as a concierge at an apartment building on Monday through Friday nights on the overnight (third) shift. My colleague and I have found it's easier for me to text her when I'm running a bit late or something. I also live and work in Virginia. It's my understanding Virginia is an at will state.
I’m leaving my job because I was injured at work. The state I work in is forcing me to see one of their hand picked doctors. This doc who is blowing off my spinal cord injury is trying to force me back to work and I know as soon as I go back to full duty I’m going to lose my job. My job was threatened because of job performance. I was slowly losing the ability to use my hands and arms as well as losing my balance in the OR. My boss was under the impression I was being lazy. I am unfortunately a very stubborn woman and I forced myself to work up until the point where I felt I may be a risk to my patients. I kept getting harassed and bullied over my shortcomings and it wound up being a terribly toxic work environment.
How did people who have "a life after layoff" get to quit their job professionally? They just got fired.
Brain only focus on white collar jobs. Not real jobs
Lol this is true for me.
I was stalling work because my coworkers were absolutely incompetent.
They fired me, but they were hemorrhaging revenue even without me.
The manager that fired me for laid off 4 months later.
Jokes on him, I have a pension at nearly half his age so I don't need a job, but he does 😂😂😂 welcome to the shitty job market where nobody wants a manager
Amen! We are always supposed to be professional when the employers do not care at all about us.
I’m 100% with you on this but this isn’t the focus of the video. This one is for those who want to preserve relationships.
I left Detroit Public Schools with professionalism...this proved monumental. After a short stint in Lansing, I got an interview and a job with a dream district near my house. I used both Detroit and Lansing references/supervisors and they were my allies in the recommendation process. This ultimately was the deciding factor in me getting hired.
For who this video is? I am asking seriously, the job market is such a mess that most people are quitting because of frustration and don't want to keep actual god relationship with their old company.
The video is for people leaving their job. Obviously.
Never burn bridges unless you have to people.
@@chuckchan4127 networking lol made up term
I'm wondering about the timing of this video. Pre-holiday layoffs are in full swing. Hasbro, GM, etc. Thousands are getting terminated as we speak. If you have a job...any job...hold onto it with everything you have, no matter how bad it is. 2024 is going to be a very, VERY rough year.😢
@@genx7006 walmart isn't laying off
@@genx7006 2024 is the official recession year.
2023 was just the warm appetizer they serve.
I've left most jobs professionally.
1 month notice as needed (in my country) but the first one. So glad I left that.
The last job, I miss them but my last boss (after having 3 before him) along with org changes was horrible.
I still wish I could bomerang but the rehire policy is horrible (wait for at least x number of years with a certain rating)
Often in the UK companies have a very long notice period. In my company it’s 3 months.
I negotiated mine to just 1. 3 months is too long
That’s because the UK has stronger worker protections than the US!
One of my former co-worker submitted his 2 weeks notice, then he sent out an mass email trashing everyone he worked with in the company. He was fired couple of hours later............
Many companies nowadays are so arrogant. Not only should you not give them any notice, just quietly clean out your office over a couple weeks time, then just stop showing up. Don't even bother telling them that you left their employ. Let them figure it out, LOL.
Question: how to handle the inquiry "what company are you about to go?" in a professional and polite way, in case I wouldnt disclose it at this moment?
Could you please help me. I plan to quit in the next 6 months (tops 12 months) and move to a new job (because of toxic reasons). From day 1, the work environment has been unsupportive, expectations were not set out from the get go, processes/guidelines are have not been clear and i have hardly had any time to get feedback from my manager. I feel like i have been left alone for the past year. Performance reviews are coming up and i wondered if it was a good idea to ask for a raise, even though i already have plans to quit. Would it be worth asking or would it burn bridges and severe the relationship with my employer if i do get a raise and then quit. I do plan on using my employer as a reference for future job opportunities.
If you quit and they ask you to leave immediately, is that being fired?
No, it's called taking a vacation. :)
What is the criteria of failing a credit check. Too much debt? Or bankruptcy?
I never had an employer give me two weeks notice when sacking me.
I find your channel indispensable. Can you link your website?
Should be in the video description but it's www.alifeafterlayoff.com
Since 2008 I have not had a single person ask or want a reference list either personal or professional. Is this just me or is it how things are trending?
Can you do a video on how to quit if you want to cause as much chaos as possible and make everybody feel really bad for being shitty to you?
What if you are on FMLA but found a better less stressful position? Go back and give 2 weeks notice?
Probably the most polite option, unlike a lady at that had a new child, took advantage of maternity leave full well knowing she wasn't coming back and still counted as time in service, must be nice.
I love the inferred title of this video of yours, Bryan!! 😀😊
I saw that movie several times during the past 3 or 4 decades!! "Take this job and shove it!" 😁 Sometimes, you have to tell your asshole boss or bosses this!! Great videos, Bryan!!
If you take a week off to rest in between 2 jobs, are you not taking a risk since you will have no benefits during that gap?
COBRA coverage, maybe?
@proudmoon3 hmm maybe. Not sure if we have something similar in Canada but this is a good idea. Thanks
Be neutral. Be professional. Never burn a bridge
Looking at the comments, everyone assumes it's a bad employer. There are just as many bad employees 😂
You just have to be careful if you were to burn any bridges, and don't be like either George Costanza or Homer Simpson quitting their jobs. Just don't try to rage quit.
If I ever quit I will go with: “I do not need this. My man has two jobs. I don’t need to be here.”
They give you the screws either way in 2023!
this is so stupid, why companies can fire you without any decency, consideration but you the peasant have to resign professionally.
You have said here in your channel, Loyalty to between companies and employees died 5 years ago. I don't have to follow any rules or policies if i will resign, as nowadays companies don't notify, they kick you out anyday, anytime.
Hey guys, it's Brain from a life after crack
😂
@@AtrcnI fully expect him to block me soon
What do you mean about this?
Do you have a hit for me?
@@Stealth-im7ld yes. Come get it
When you quit your job dont forget to allow time to train your recently imported refugee non-white replacement who will do your job for a fraction of your white mans wages.
Lol 😂true...
You should not worry about training any replacement. That's the company's job. Unless mandated by your contract or if the company deserves this.
@@ForgottenKnight1 Facetious, my friend. They can kiss my backside if they think I am going to train my replacement.
Even better: we had contract security from a certain company (not naming names but they have three red dots for a logo) assist our propitiatory security and the rumor was our company was going to transition to contract security. Out of a dozen guards, only two could actually do the job but they were constantly late or no call/no shows, so it showed our management that they needed us and that contract company was a joke.
Remember employers, you get what you paid for; good people aren't cheap and cheap people aren't good.
@@HomelessWhiteMaleStartingOvera you can say ass on here
More often than not, ppl don’t quit companies they love. No way am I working hard to tie up loose ends if I’ve given my 2 week, and that’s coming from a director. It’s a small world mind if you think burning a bridge is going to ruin your career. Unless you plan on working for a direct competitor or something of that nature, you quitting abruptly has no effect on your career. It hasn’t for me and I’m doing very well.
I've seen it. Employee A leaved a company, and makes their old employer mad. A then a few years down the road is fired because someone in his new firm knew his old boss, and viewed the way he left that company in such a light that he felt he needed to fire A.
The world is a small town. Blacklists are real. If you work as a professional, never burn a bridge
Train the next guy? Yea not happening 🤣
