CareerAdvice #JobTransition #QuittingJob
Hey there! 🌟 So, I’ve been with my current healthcare employer for almost a decade now, and I’ve recently accepted a job elsewhere that’s a better fit for me. But now comes the tough part – telling my boss and coworkers that I’ll be leaving in 3 weeks. 😬
I can’t help but feel guilty about leaving, especially since we’re already short-staffed. The change is also making my emotions go haywire. Anyone else been in this situation before? Here are some tips that might help:
- Prepare for the conversation: Think about what you want to say and how you want to approach the topic with your boss.
- Express gratitude: Let your boss know how much you appreciate the opportunity and experience gained during your time there.
- Offer assistance: Assure your boss that you are willing to help with the transition process to make it as smooth as possible.
- Stay positive: Focus on the exciting new chapter ahead and the growth opportunities it offers.
Remember, change can be scary but it’s also an essential part of personal and professional growth. Be kind to yourself during this transition period and trust that everything will work out in the end. You’ve got this! 💪 #YouGotThis
I think the best advice I’ve seen is just to not let the guilt get to you. You can feel it and still do what’s best for you. Solidarity though. I’m getting ready to do the same thing.
If your employer is understaffed, that’s on them. That’s the risk of running with as few employees as possible, because someone *will* quit.
That’s not your issue. It’s the risk they run, when they choose to be short staffed to make more money.
They won’t be scared to let you go when the time comes…
Hm, what do you honestly expect us to say to you that will help?
“Get over it”
“Have a few drinks, then tell him”
“Just don’t show up to work anymore”
Time to be an adult.
It isn’t your fault that they’re understaffed. You did not do that. They can hire more people. Just stop for a moment and realize what you have is a feeling. Assess this feeling. You are feeling badly for a situation that you did not create. It is a situation over which you have no control. When you have left, then they will hire on a new employee and move forward. No harm done. I hope you are challenged by your new opportunity.
You don’t have to overcome the feeling, you just do it anyway.
Go see your boss and tell them you’re quitting.
You might be scared, but people do things while scared.
Put it all in a resignation letter that way you can look it all over and give the best response. You have to do what you have to do
Dont be scared.
You can possibly practice what you’re going to say so it’s not so bad. They should know what to do to get other employees. If you have a good relationship with your boss, they should understand that you have to survive just like they do. It might be bittersweet, but just accept that this time will come, handle it like a boss and let it pass. Good luck at your next job
Please bear in mind that your boss would have no fear whatsoever to fire you, and wouldn’t even give you a notice.
If they didn’t want to be understaffed, they had every opportunity within the last 10 years you were there to fix that problem.
If the shoe was on the other foot, most employers will cut you off and lose little sleep over it.
Know your worth and look out for you.
