Not long ago, I saw a message like this on the Internet: "After receiving an offer from my favorite company, I found that leaving my job is a worrying matter. The leader was unwilling to sign, but also insinuated and asked me where I would leave. I really didn't know how to answer it? To be honest, after all, we are going to a competing company, and if we are not careful, it will turn the tables; if we don't say it, it will seem unsincere."
Leaving a job is a normal phenomenon in the workplace. Only by saying goodbye to the old journey can we start a new journey. However, many people in the workplace are troubled when their departure comes, especially when they are questioned by people in the company about their departure, they feel deeply helpless and conflicted. Whether or not to say it and how to say it is often difficult to decide, ultimately turning leaving into a tiring experience.
When leaving, should I disclose my whereabouts to people in the company? This is a question of opinion, and there is no standard answer that is either right or wrong. Mature professionals usually make choices based on their past experience and deeper thinking in order to achieve the goal of retiring safely.
1. The resignation "confession" misses a new offer
Cheng Cheng has an overseas master's degree. After graduation, he joined a large Internet factory and is mainly responsible for front-end technology development. He is calm and down-to-earth, has excellent professional skills, and gets along well with leaders and colleagues, and has good room for development. Faced with the company's endless overtime culture, he felt physically and mentally exhausted and had no choice but to apply for resignation.
Given his good comprehensive literacy, he quickly got an offer from the new company, and his salary almost doubled. During the exit interview, the leader asked him why he left and where he went. Thinking that everyone got along well, he frankly told him, including salary and reporting time, and then began to hand over work with his colleagues.
Unexpectedly, two days later, the leader talked to him again, hoping to retain him through a salary increase, but the amount was far less than the new offer. After the communication failed, the leader performed a face-changing trick, accusing him of problems with the work handover, and refused to let him go, eventually missing the check-in time for the new offer.
As the external economic environment becomes increasingly severe, competition for talent among industries is also surging, and some companies do not rule out the use of some gray tricks. This requires us to have a clear understanding. We must know that the employment relationship has quietly changed when we formally propose to leave, and the former close relationship and commitment to advance and retreat together have disappeared in an instant.
Sometimes they will be criticized inexplicably, believing that choosing to leave is a sign of ungratitude and betrayal; what is more excessive is that some leaders deliberately set up resignation barriers to delay the time in order to prevent talent from being lost to competing companies, resulting in employees 'new offers. Failure to fulfill the contract as scheduled. From this point of view, the so-called honesty is just a mistake of sincerity and a bad ending.
2. Avoid talking about where to go, focus on walking away unscathed
Due to his poor performance, his colleague Xiao Luo received a basic salary for several months in accordance with the company's evaluation system. Despite frugality, he was still tight and looked depressed. After careful consideration, she thought that it would be difficult to break through in the short term, so she had the idea of leaving, but she was very unwilling.
Fortunately, thanks to her friend's push, she got a new offer, and the company's platform and benefits were more secure. So he couldn't help but be excited. He told everyone he met that he was going to get rid of the sea of suffering and that the new company had a better future. He felt like he couldn't express his emotions without letting it out. For a time, rumors spread everywhere, causing a stir, which aroused great dissatisfaction among the leaders and attracted various strange looks from colleagues.
Leaving is an employee's personal choice. Although there is no obligation to inform the company where the company will leave, there is no need to publicize and exaggerate, and add words that the value of the job is underestimated, causing panic. This is the work of childish students 'thinking, but it is just to satisfy their self-vanity. It seems to have won face, but in fact it has planted the seeds of risk.
When mature professionals leave, they usually do not tell others where they are leaving. Even if someone asks, they often choose to avoid talking about it or talk in general terms. They will lower their attitude to communicate, express their reluctance to leave with regret and gratitude, promise never to forget the grace of cultivation, emphasize work handover, and strive to retire unscathed.
3. Do smart professionals choose to disclose where they go?
3.1 During the "riding a donkey and looking for a horse" period, keep silent
As the saying goes: "Job hopping has been poor for half a year." The financial pressure on people in the workplace is huge, and they often feel anxious in the face of a long vacancy in the workplace. Therefore, after having the intention to change jobs, more people will choose to "ride a donkey and find a horse" than "resign naked", that is, apply for resignation after finding a suitable next job.
This period is particularly sensitive, and a slight carelessness will turn into nothing. When asked by colleagues, some people couldn't help but proudly show off their departure destination. Even if the new offer has not yet been finalized, this is still a manifestation of extremely low EQ.
In the workplace, if you say too much, you will miss it. We must learn to shut up at the right time. Before you get a formal offer, everything is still unknown and there are many uncertainties. At this time, advice should remain silent for anyone in the company. Don't show any clues that you want to leave your job at work, so as not to arouse the company's vigilance, cause additional complications, and lose the gain.
3.2, formal communication period, planning reasons for leaving
There was once a paragraph circulated on the Internet about the reasons for employees to leave: "Employees leave because they either did not give them enough money or they were wronged." This is indeed a true reflection of most people leaving their jobs. However, because of the need to leave with dignity, smart professionals will spend their time choosing a "reliable" reason.
Many times, people in the company will ask questions about where they leave. In addition to the curiosity of onlookers, more often in the interview process, leaders will ask: "Why do you leave? Where are you going next? Do you have any good suggestions for the company and team before leaving?"
The answer to the reasons for leaving is about the "mental skill" rather than the skills of saying goodbye. Usually when formally submitting a written resignation application, you need to formulate the reasons for the resignation, communicate them concisely and to the point, and appropriately use good-faith language packaging if necessary, such as industry development, personal reasons, family reasons, etc., and try to reflect on the external environment and objective reasons as much as possible. Lay on it and lay out a mutually comfortable ending.
3.3, work handover period, build a good reputation
A good ending is more important than a good beginning after leaving office. Once some people enter the waiting period for leave, they start fishing mode and perfunctory with their work. Mature professionals will do the opposite, not only strictly abide by the company's management system, handle all tasks as always, but also attach great importance to work handover.
First of all, the job content will be organized into a document, listing in detail the completed and pending work, and sorting out the docking personnel and contact information for each work; it will also proactively remind the matters needing attention in the work, and every detail will ensure that the replacement can be easily started; more importantly, the handover progress will be reported regularly to the leader to reassure the leader and show a high level of professionalism.
Do a good job handover and maximize your professional impression threshold, which will make leaders and colleagues marvel at your professionalism and professionalism. In addition to not deliberately making trouble for you, it will not gossip too much about where you leave. At the same time, it can also establish a good personal professional reputation, which also wins points for subsequent background investigations.
In the workplace, from the moment you decide to leave, you must no longer have resentment and nostalgia. All the next efforts must be related to a better future. As for the direction of departure, even if you choose not to say anything, it is understandable and there is no need to worry too much.
May you be smart enough not to be afraid of the trouble of leaving your job and say goodbye generously and decently. You may still meet you at high places in the future.
