How To Quit Your Job The Right Way

Donna Ballman, employment attorney and author of Stand Up For Yourself Without Getting Fired recommends safeguarding your future and gives the right way to Quit Your Job.

“Review any agreements you signed before you quit. Make sure you don’t have anything like a non compete or non solicitation agreement that will limit or prevent you from taking your new job.” She also suggests waiting to quit until after you’ve received any commissions or bonuses if possible as your employer will likely look for any excuse not to pay you.

It’s also important to protect yourself against potential accusations. “Don’t copy or email yourself a bunch of company documents before you leave. Your employer might accuse you of stealing trade secrets or of violating any confidentiality agreement you may have signed, even if you didn’t. Especially avoid sending yourself client lists, pricing information and other information that might have value to a competitor.”

Don’t slack off after you’ve given notice. Seeing it through until the end will help you feel good about yourself when you walk out the door for the last time. Donna Ballman agrees suggesting that you go beyond helping with the transition and offer to be available even after your two week’s notice.

No matter what the circumstances you want to leave your current employer on a good note. Donna Ballman says, “It’s not just about ‘not burning bridges’ and making sure you get a good recommendation, but more importantly about who you are and how you feel about yourself. It’s important to leave with your own dignity intact.”
