Hi friends,
Don't break relations when you think of leaving the job because when people come to help you, you don't know................
How to Leave a Job Gracefully And Make a Good Last Impression
How can you make a move as pain-free as possible?
First, schedule a private moment with your boss to break the news—and do it tactfully.
Instead of screaming, "I quit," say something about "how fortunate you have been and how grateful you are for all the opportunities you have been given, but that you have an offer that you felt you couldn't refuse."
In other words, don't be tempted to use leaving as an opportunity to blow off steam. You never know when your boss will be a good reference. It's foolish to make everyone angry before you go.
Don't burn bridges with co-workers, either. Remember that anyone you've worked with is a potential reference.
Another way to make your transition as smooth as possible is to give more than two weeks' notice. Most employers won't be able to find and hire a replacement in two weeks, so if you can give them extra time—three weeks or a month—to get started, they will usually be appreciative.
Some employers get very upset when someone quits and may want the worker out immediately. So before you tell your boss, you might want to reflect on how your boss has responded in the past when employees gave notice.
Download all the personal documents on your computer to a disk before you go in to see your boss. That way, if he or she unceremoniously boots you out the door, you already have those things in your possession.
Presuming your boss doesn't flip out, you do as much as you can to help your boss hire your replacement, which might include writing a job ad or even gathering and vetting resumes from possible candidates.
Another thing to do is to write instructions about how to do your job for your replacement and even offer to make yourself available to answer any questions for a week or two after you leave.
The resignation/thank you letter should "thank them for understanding your position and for giving you the opportunity to begin with." A really nice thank you note goes a long way.
Of course, you should also resist the temptation to start completely slacking off after you've given notice. Work as hard as you possibly can. People are watching you.

Hi Sid,
Nice article. All the things which you have written are absolutely correct. But when you talk about the notice period, you know in the present scenario, nobody is ready to give you more than a week's time to join a new organization. What should a person do in that case?
Secondly, I personally feel that when somebody serves his or her notice period, the immediate boss doesn't behave normally. Could you shed some light on it?
Thanks,

Hello Sidhu,
A very nice article; this will help us build a very strong relationship between management and coworkers. It creates a good impression on the person responding positively.
Thanks for the guidance; good things start with a good beginning!

Hello Sidhu,
Nice email and I agree with you. However, I personally feel that when one quits a job, management never reacts positively and never takes interest in carrying on the relationship as a former employee.

Hi Shikha,
This is my sixth organisation. My experience is very good because I have given enough time to my previous employer, except for one case where the relationship is not good. Every previous boss and employer (for small organisations) used to call me for my well-being. I used to inquire about how they are and how work is going. We should never spoil our relationships. In this world, people come and go, but they leave their footprints, for which they are either appreciated or defamed. This is my personal experience. We try our level best, and the rest we should leave to others.

Hi Sujata,
We have the option to join within a week. You will have to apply your mind and get the result. I can join within a week and I'll complete the notice period of one month too if location is not a problem.

Hi,
It is very true that the management does not react positively after one has submitted his resignation. But it pays a lot if one exits gracefully from the organization. At least, the management will not speak ill of you. Even your name in the corporate circle will be spoken highly (sorry, I do not have experience of this... I am still with my first organization). But I had read these things in an article.

Hi Sidhu,
It is, in fact, a very good article. People who leave any organization should take care of such things. It makes the ex-employer feel good about the employee who is leaving.
But unfortunately, not too many people do this. They do exactly the opposite of this. Sometimes it so happens that after seeing an employee's behavior during relieving, the employer feels it's good that the employee left the company; otherwise, it would have affected other sincere employees also. And that's really bad.

Hi friends,
I have good experience in this matter because only a week ago, I resigned from my previous company and joined an MNC. The way I handled it was by first expressing my sincere thanks to the seniors. I narrated the exposure and guidance I received from them, highlighted the career progression and promotions I achieved in the company, and made them understand that my decision to resign was solely for further career enhancement and not for any other reasons.

Dear Sujata,
What I have seen is that if you are going to join a really good organization, then definitely they are going to give a joining period of about a month. Everyone is professional, so is the boss. In case he is going to be indifferent, it's bad for him, not for you.

I agree with Shikha absolutely, in MNCs or for that matter, in any company, nobody is indispensable today. You leave, and a thousand others are there to join. It hardly matters, but the only thing that matters is the employee who leaves should ensure that he gets his Relieving Letter and Experience Certificate, as well as his full and Final Payments. Nothing else is important.
