- Give appropriate notice. Quitting on a whim isn't going to benefit you. Two weeks notice is the traditional time frame.
- Tell the right people at the right time. Don't discuss your plans to resign with your coworkers before your boss. The grapevine is a powerful thing.
- Be mindful. You are probably leaving a lot of work behind for other people. Offer to stick around and help train your replacement.
- Give good reasons. Don't be vague when you talk to your boss. They will respect you more if you are honest with them about why you want to leave.
- Don't burn bridges. While you might have some complaints you've been waiting to get off your chest, it's best to maintain positive relationships. You never know when you'll cross paths again.
