Psychologists' advice on how to decide on dismissal, and advice from lawyers on the correct dismissal. How to properly and legally quit your job of your own free will

“Don't leave work before you find a new one,” we have heard this mantra a million times. You're tired? Are you sick? Need a break? These are all excuses, an inner voice whispers (which sounds suspiciously similar to the voice of a colleague, friend or one of the young people at the next table, whose conversation you accidentally overheard). If you leave now, you will lose. Don't leave work. Make no mistake.

What can you answer to this voice? At the very least, this is the following: the option that seems safe to us is not always the most reasonable. When we are under severe stress, we switch to survival mode. And in this mode, we are not inclined to think soberly and thoroughly. We are afraid of risk. We think of only one thing: to relax and forget.

In addition, in this state, the chances of finding something better tend to zero. Trying to escape from one captivity, we easily fall into another, if we cannot adequately weigh all the pros and cons. It happens that a person simply does not have the strength to fight for better conditions. He is exhausted, his fighting spirit has evaporated - only a sluggish, lifeless body remains. Can we hope to impress the next HR officer in this state?

Before deciding whether to stay in a grueling or unpleasant job, take stock of your condition. Perhaps you just need a pause to recover. Here are some things to watch out for.

You don't feel safe

Your safety comes first. If you don't feel safe at work, you'd better quit, even if your finances are not in the best position. Some workplaces can be real places of increased danger - like disadvantaged areas of the city, zones of radioactive contamination and hostilities.

If you tolerate harassment or threats at work, tell your management about it. If you remain silent, no one will protect you. If attempts to defend your rights have not led to anything, or after the "lull" pressure on you resumes with renewed vigor, leave boldly and as soon as possible.

Work undermines your health

Remember: your health is always more important. The word "stability", so beloved by many, acts like a slow poison. We become passive, not ready for action - even when the old life brings only suffering. Is work killing you - physically or in any other way? Then you should leave it as early as possible, while you still have strength. In some places, people work in fear all the time. How to go to an interview in such a state and expect that you will be appreciated at your true worth?

You feel insecure

The hatred of work can grow so strong over time that you will be ready to grab at any straw in search of salvation.

It can be a simple "hack", work under the wing of a friend, the merits of which boil down to the fact that it brings a little money and allows you to escape from the hell of your old life. But often, these respites drag on, and your determination to look for your dream job subtly fades away.

You need a break

“I got sick of my job,” says Alexander, “But I was just not ready to take on a new one right away. I did not have enough time and inner space to understand what I want. I was in a terrible state. I had to leave before I could think of anything else. "

Alexander resigned, despite the fact that colleagues considered his act insane. But he himself admits that he felt relief: "Probably, my blood pressure dropped by half the minute I left the building." He decided to do a three-week internship at a new company and got the job a week after graduation.

“This job was completely unrelated to my previous career, I was paid less, but so what? - says Alexander. - I work, I help people. Now I see the meaning in what I do. And I can calmly plan the next steps. "

You don't have time for yourself

“I never quit my job without knowing where to go,” says Barbara. “But now I had to do it. The previous work consumed all my strength. While I was there, I couldn't imagine my life outside the office. I felt stuck and unable to move. Now I can concentrate and understand what I really want. "

If, returning from work, you feel completely overwhelmed and squeezed out like a lemon, you will simply not be able to look for a new job. Everything can end up being on new job you will not be satisfied in the same way. Listen to your body - it will not deceive you.

If you need to quit your job first, just to look in the mirror and figure out who you are and what you want, do it right away!

About the expert

Liz Ryan- the founder of the consulting company Human Workspace.

According to article 80 of the Labor Code, dismissal under on their own occurs at the initiative of the employee for various reasons: a new offer, a move or other circumstances. This procedure for terminating an agreement is today considered one of the most conflict-free. The reason is that, unlike the case initiated by the employer due to absenteeism or layoff, no arguments are required, a special procedure and increased compensation payments are not required. Although the procedure for dismissal is simple, it still has its own rules.

Under what article is dismissed at will

Article 80 of the Labor Code Russian Federation(Labor Code of the Russian Federation) entitled "Termination of an employment contract at the initiative of an employee (at his own request)" discusses in detail the procedure and rules of this procedure. They relate to reasons, deadlines for filing a petition and cases of work stoppages before the expiration of the warning period. In addition, the article contains information on the withdrawal of the application.

The procedure for dismissal of your own free will

Any employee, including a pregnant woman, in accordance with paragraph 3 of Article 77 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation "General grounds for terminating an employment contract", has the right to resign on his own initiative due to various circumstances. To do this correctly, it is important to know the specifics and rules for terminating an employment contract. This will prevent conflicts with the employer and other problems that will drag out the process for a long time.

Dismissal terms

According to the general rule of Article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the employee must notify the employer in writing about the dismissal by submitting an application to his name 2 weeks before the intended departure. This period begins to count on the next day after the registration of the application. It is important that the application is registered, otherwise the working period may be postponed. Other rules for dismissing an employee at will:

  • the two-week period can be canceled by written agreement between the employee and the employer;
  • the law does not oblige the employee to be at the workplace during these 2 weeks (you can go on vacation, on sick leave);
  • the general rule of two-week work has exceptions (for a trial period - 3 days, and for a managerial position - 1 month).

The manager has no right to refuse an employee. If this happens, then the employee should know that this is a violation of the law by the employer. Then the application is drawn up in a standard form and sent by mail with acknowledgment of receipt. This way you will know when the employer has received the documents. After 2 weeks, you can stop working in the organization. After this period, the employee must be issued a work book and calculation. Otherwise, he has the right to contact the inspectorate dealing with such illegal situations and labor disputes.

Dismissal letter

The first thing an employee should do is to file a resignation letter on his own initiative 2 weeks before leaving. The next day the countdown will begin. The law does not specify the exact requirements, but it should specify several important points:

  1. Surname, name, patronymic and position of the head, name of the organization.
  2. Surname, name, patronymic of the applicant, i.e. the employee himself.
  3. The text of the statement itself. Includes a request to be dismissed from his position on a certain date (it is better to write, for example, "August 1, and not" from August 1 "). If necessary, the reason for the termination of the contract is indicated.
  4. At the end, the date of submission of the application, signature and transcript are put.

Labor legislation allows you to withdraw your petition. This is done in the same form as the application for dismissal initiated by the employee. The manager has the right to refuse:

  • if another person has already been hired in the place of the leaving employee, who, according to the law, cannot be denied a job;
  • if the employee went on vacation (he had to withdraw the application before the start of the vacation).

Reasons for dismissal

According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the following cases are considered good reasons for maintaining the length of service of an employee:

  • reaching retirement age;
  • the need to move;
  • some diseases;
  • the beginning of training in a higher or secondary specialized institution;
  • caring for a sick family member;
  • violation of an employment contract by the employer.

It is not necessary to state the reason unless it is the basis for any compensation payments or cancellation of the period of compulsory service. In general, you should just write "please dismiss me of my own free will." Additionally, you can specify the reason - "in connection with retirement." Other circumstances are formulated in the same way.

Dismissal order

If the letter of resignation of his own free will does not have a clear sample, then the order about it is drawn up in accordance with the T-8 form established by law. It is published in 2 copies, one of which remains in the accounting department for calculating material payments. An order of dismissal is drawn up of his own free will with certain details, such as:

  • code for the all-Russian classifier of management activities (OKUD) - 0301006;
  • code according to the all-Russian classifier of enterprises and organizations (OKPO) - it is different for each company;
  • name of company;
  • the text of the order itself;
  • Date of preparation.

Term of working off

The standard working period is 2 weeks. It starts the day after the application is submitted. But this period does not always remain. You can not work for 2 weeks if:

  • the employer does not see the need for this;
  • the employee has good reasons - admission to full-time study, urgent relocation, becoming a pensioner);
  • the employer violated labor contract;
  • the employee is on sick leave.

Vacation before dismissal

An employee has the right to quit on his own initiative, even during or before vacation. In this case, the application is written in the same form. More often it contains the phrase "I ask you to grant leave with subsequent dismissal at will." In accordance with article 127 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the last working day is the last day of the vacation. In this case, you do not need to work out for 2 weeks.

List of documents upon dismissal of your own free will

The employee only needs to submit a letter of resignation. In response, he will be issued with official documents from the following list:

  • work book with an entry on the basis of the dismissal, issued by the personnel department;
  • 2-NDFL certificate confirming the amount of income received and personal income tax withheld;
  • certificate of payment of wages for the last 2 calendar years;
  • information on payments and other remuneration, on the length of service of the insured employee.

Rights upon dismissal of your own free will

Each side has its own rights. For the employee, this is the opportunity to withdraw the application at any time. The employment contract remains in effect if the employee was not dismissed on the last day. The employer has the right to demand from him the full performance of his duties, up to and including dismissal. In case of violation by the head of the labor contract, the employee may not work for 2 weeks, but only if he was able to prove it in court.

Calculation upon dismissal of your own free will

It must be made on the day of dismissal, i.e. the last worker after 2 weeks of work. The final settlement includes the payment of all amounts due to the employee. These include:

  • wage;
  • compensation for unused weekend vacations;
  • payments under an employment or collective agreement.

Sick leave

An employee can apply even if the date of dismissal falls within a period of temporary incapacity for work. The employer has no right to change it. After the expiration of a 2-week period, the management calculates, issues an order with a note that the employee is absent. You can come for documents and amounts due at any time. The only condition for the dismissal procedure is that temporary disability benefits are assigned within 10 days after the sick leave is granted. It will be paid on the next payday.

On holiday

In this case, all calculations and the issuance of a work book in this case are made on the last working day before the vacation. The employee writes a letter of resignation of his own free will on the same conditions. In addition to the salary, the employee must be issued vacation pay. The compensated payment for unused vacation is already excluded. An employee can get it if he refuses to provide him with rest.

After vacation

If the employee has already used the vacation and decided to quit after it, then he will have to work for 2 weeks on a general basis after writing the application. Payments in this case are the same as when leaving work at any other time. These include wages and payments under an employment or collective agreement. If the application was submitted before the vacation with a note of dismissal after it, then the calculation is made on the last working day. At the same time, they issue a work book. If the vacation was provided in advance, then the amount of overpaid vacation pay in the amount of 20% is withheld from the dismissed.

After sick leave

If the employee, after the end of the period of incapacity for work, cannot continue to work, then in the application he refers to this reason and confirms it with documents. In this case, he can be dismissed on the same day with the calculation and issuance of a work book. The person receives compensation for unused vacation, salary and sick leave payment.

Dismissal in one day

If the employee is unable to continue working, the organization is obliged to terminate the contract with him within the period specified in the application. To do this, you need to provide supporting documents, for example, a certificate from a medical institution about the disease, from an institute of admission, etc. Writing an application, issuing an order and familiarizing with it in case of early dismissal takes place in one day. The calculation can be made no later than the next day, including salary and compensation payments for vacation.

How to properly resign of your own free will

It is important for the employee to know that he has the right to dismiss at his own request, and the employer cannot refuse to accept the application. It is important to do everything according to the instructions so that there are no disagreements. The procedure for how to properly resign includes several stages:

  1. Writing a statement. An employee who decides to take such a step must, within a certain time frame, submit an application addressed to the director, indicating, if necessary, the reason for his departure.
  2. Issue of an order. After registering the application (this must be followed, and it is better to make a copy for yourself) an order will be generated. It is compiled in a standard unified form. The employee must familiarize himself with the order, put his signature on it.
  3. Dismissal. The employer makes a corresponding entry in the work book, the employee signs for it in the personal card. At the same stage, a full calculation is made on the basis of Article 140 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

How to fire an employee of your own free will

The employer must sign a letter of resignation. Next, you need to issue an order in the form of T-8, with which you familiarize the employee. After that, the personnel department and accounting department clarifies the information about the period worked out in the current month, the provision of leave, the sick leave period and other information necessary for calculating compensation. On the day of dismissal, a labor is issued with an indication of the reason for dismissal and payment of the funds owed.

If you decide to change your place of work, it is important to comply with all the formalities. One of them is compulsory work. Let us consider in more detail when the employer's requirements are legitimate, and when they can be avoided and quit without working off.

Is it obligatory to work in 2 weeks upon dismissal

According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the employee is obliged to notify the management of his / her leaving 2 weeks before dismissal. During this time, the employer will be able to find a worthy candidate, and the worker will be able to transfer all cases in full. "Working off" implies that the employee must notify of his departure, pick up the documents and receive all payments. Sometimes an employee cannot work for a required period of time. For example, if he wrote a statement, and then went on sick leave for more than two weeks. The employer does not have the right to make any demands. The term of work is not always two weeks, you can notify the employer 3 days in advance if:
    The probationary period has not ended, the employee has decided to quit or the employer is not satisfied with the professional qualities and skills of the candidate. The condition is met if the employment contract is concluded for a period of up to three months. It's about seasonal work. The employee must notify the administration three days in advance, if the initiative comes from the company, then the employee is supposed to deliver the notification seven days in advance. The employment contract is concluded for a period not exceeding two months. Usually, in such cases, we are talking about the liquidation or closure of an individual entrepreneur.
Persons holding managerial positions (chief accountant, manager) and sports coaches (if the contract is concluded for more than 4 months) are required to give a month's notice of their leaving. Based on the reasons for dismissal, the employment contract may be terminated on the day of contact. This rule applies to the case when an employee leaves of his own free will.

How to quickly quit without a job, without a good reason

The employee is not obliged to work if the management has violated the requirements of the Labor Code. Non-payment or delay of wages is not such. In such a situation, it is worth writing a complaint to the trade union, labor commission. The competent authority carries out an audit, the results of which are decided. If a violation is recorded, the employer will pay a fine. The best option is if the subordinate and the employer agree to dismiss by agreement of the parties. The Labor Code does not stipulate compulsory training or immediate termination of cooperation in such situations. The parties independently agree on the terms of the termination of labor relations. Even if you do not have good relations with the management, you should not give up this method of breaking off labor relations. As practice shows, not every director wants to put up with an unpleasant person on the staff. Management often makes a big mistake if an employee leaves by agreement of the parties. They require a letter of resignation. This document is not needed, as the initiative can come from the leadership. Also, employers are trying to change the conditions of dismissal: they are forced to submit a report, complete a number of assignments, or work for several days. These actions are also illegal.

Dismissal without work under the Labor Code - a list of cases when work is not needed

In Art. 81 TC lists all the exceptions to the general rule. An employee may not work out the due period if:
    enrolled in a university or general education institution for a bachelor's or master's degree in a full-time department; retiring; violated the Labor Code, local labor acts and the collective agreement; he or his spouse moves to another city / country to work; changes place of residence for medical reasons; caring for a family member, child, disabled person.

The exception also includes pregnant women and mothers with a disabled person, a child under 14 years old. In this case, a copy of the birth certificate, medical certificate or any other document confirming the status of the child is attached to the application. If we are talking about caring for a disabled family member, then as supporting documents you can attach:

    a certificate from the housing office about the residence of relatives with you; copies of passports with the same registration; a copy of the medical certificate, and in the application it is prescribed that the person needs your care.
The letter of resignation must be certified by the office, and the document itself must be sent by mail with notification. If an unreasonable refusal follows in response, you will have to go to court.

Quit of your own free will

The best way to quit your job without working off is to take advantage of your accumulated vacation days. Every officially employed citizen is entitled to a certain number of days of paid leave. The minimum is two weeks, the maximum is 56 days. The employee writes a statement in which he indicates that he will quit immediately after the vacation. Since the vacation application is supposed to be written at least a month in advance, the requirements of the Labor Code are met. The advantages of this option are that the last day of work is the day of vacation for which the person receives money. During this time, you can look for a new place. If the vacation has not yet been used, but it is due, then the employee is paid compensation. This rule even applies to minors and pregnant women. If the employee has not rest for two years in a row, then he can take advantage of legal leave, and receive money for the second. You will not be able to take two vacations. If during the rest period a person falls ill, then, in the presence of a sick leave, the vacation can be postponed or extended for several more days. Before dismissal, they have the right to take unpaid leave without giving reasons:
    WWII veterans; working pensioners; disabled people; family members of military personnel.

Dismissal initiated by management

It often happens that staff are laid off due to staff reductions. According to Art. 81 of the Labor Code, the employer must notify about this two months in advance and pay compensation. Some managers try to "skip" this responsibility and force subordinates to write statements at their own expense. This is illegal and such dismissal can be challenged in court. Otherwise, a person is deprived of the right to receive double monetary compensation.

What documents will need to be presented

The employee must write an application addressed to the employer. It should contain the following information:
    position and full name of the head; position and full name of the authorized person; name of the employer, structural unit, if we are talking about a large enterprise.
If the management goes to meet the subordinate who has no good reason for dismissal, then the latter needs to indicate in the application the wording "I ask to dismiss me without working 2 weeks ...." You should also list the documents confirming the fleeting dismissal. After the text, the date of the application, signature and initials must be indicated.

How to quit your job without working out - step by step instructions

If an employee does not have a good relationship with management or there is no good reason, it’s hard enough to quit without a job, but it’s possible. Let's consider in more detail the algorithm of actions. Make a decision to leave The first step is to make a firm decision to change jobs. It is better to choose a new foothold for activity in advance than to go nowhere. Write a letter of resignation Write a statement according to the sample with the obligatory indication of the conditions for leaving without working. The document is drawn up in two copies. The first is transferred to the employer, and the second is certified by the office. It remains with the employee and, in the event of a dispute, will serve as evidence of compliance with the law.

Wait for the decision of the management During work, for any reason, the employee is obliged to regularly fulfill all his duties. If the employee does not go to workplace for no good reason, he can be fired under the article. Get paid, vacation pay On the last day, the employee must pay off: give the salary and vacation pay, if any. If the employer for some reason delays the payment of funds, then for all days of delay, he must pay the average daily wage. If the employee took a vacation, then the last working day is the last day of the vacation. On this day, he must receive a full payment. In case of violation of the deadlines for receiving the calculation, the employee may demand a payroll taking into account the accrued penalty. The latter is calculated according to the following formula: Penalty = (0.003 * Central Bank refinancing rate) * (Salary + Vacation) This amount is charged for each day of delay. If a worthy candidate for the position was not found during the working period, the employee can cancel his application. The management has no right to interfere with him, since he has complied with all the requirements of the law. Pick up all documents, labor, hand over special. shape, etc. On the last day or a few days before the dismissal, the employee is given a work-around sheet. This is not a required document, but it is often used in large enterprises. An employee could interact with several departments. Therefore, the employer must be sure that the employee has no "debts" to the company. Debt means not only financial indebtedness (for example, unused funds under the report), but also other IBEs. This may be a non-returned work form, books from the library, a pass, etc. Employers are trying to "scare" the employee with a bypass sheet that he will not receive his payment. But these actions are not legitimate. Moreover, the duty of the employee to go through the bypass list should be spelled out in the employment contract. Otherwise, its use is also illegal. A serious violation is the refusal to give the work book. If such a situation occurs, then the employee must be compensated for each day of retention, since the absence of a work book does not allow a person to get a job. The date of dismissal in the document must correspond to the day the book was issued. If the document was not delivered on time, then you need to write an application for compensation and change the date of departure. If the employer refuses to fulfill these conditions, then you can immediately go to court. The main thing is that no more than a month has passed since the dismissal. Otherwise, the statement of claim will be accepted only if there are good reasons for such a large delay, and the chances of the management to win the court will increase significantly. The employer is not responsible for violation of the terms of receipt of the book, if the employee did not come for it himself, ignored the management's notification or agreed to send the document by mail.

What to do if the bosses do not let you go from work without two weeks' work

If there are valid reasons for dismissal without work, the employer has no right to deny this right to an employee. In practice, such situations occur frequently. In this case, it is better to contact the trade union or the Labor Commission. If the employee still wants to come to a peaceful solution, then he can offer a replacement instead. If the employer is satisfied with this option, then the employment contract may be terminated on the day the application is signed. If it is not possible to reach a consensus, you will have to move to higher authorities, for example, to the labor inspectorate. This state body accepts the application, both in person and by mail, in electronic form. You need to "joke" to the inspectorate of the region in which the company is registered. In extreme cases, you should write a statement to the court. The proceedings can take several months. If we are talking about the self-protection of labor rights, then these measures will be justified. After a decision is made in favor of the plaintiff, the employer is obliged to reinstate the former employee, calculate and pay him compensation for the downtime.

Whatever the reason for a layoff, the event is almost always stressful. You need to leave correctly, without spawning enemies and creating for yourself a reputation as a brawler. Observe Business Etiquette- it always justifies itself.

Quit your job? No problem. I wrote a statement, took the work book - and you are free, like a bird, and your own master. But this is only if you are firmly convinced that you will not be left without earnings, you have, your home does not hang on your wings, or your requests and needs are so modest that the absence does not scare you. Otherwise, the dismissal must be approached carefully.

They leave for various reasons: they leave for a higher salary or position, find a vacancy closer to home, do not work well with their boss, etc. Accordingly, they behave differently when they are fired. Some finally tell their boss everything they think of him, others settle scores with annoying colleagues and, leaving, loudly slam the door. Still others, on the contrary, have their eyes in a wet place due to parting with a friendly team. Someone else cannot hide the joy of the dizzying prospects opening up. However, no matter what emotions overwhelmed the one who intends to quit, you should not openly show them. As the proverb says, "Don't say gop until you jump over."

1. Before you burn the bridges behind you, you need to firmly know that in the new place they are waiting for us

We can recall more than one case when a vacant position escaped from under the very nose. The phone rang and a polite voice said, "We're sorry, but circumstances have changed." It is always unpleasant to receive a refusal, but it will be even worse if we were in a hurry to quit or told about our plans "in secret to the whole world."

Asking for back? Thinking that we were refused because a vacant position was taken by someone's relative? In any case, our pride will suffer, and for especially impressionable natures, and will suffer. If no one knew anything, it will be easier to survive the failure.

It is not necessary to inform anyone in advance about your plans also because the new workplace, which we are so eager to get into, may interest someone from our environment. Thus, we will give a tip, and a person can make every effort and connection to get ahead of us.

The boss, who will hear rumors about our intention to quit, can also put a spoke in our wheels. Of course, he is unlikely to interfere if we worked carelessly. But if we are a valuable employee, whom he had his own ideas for, who knows if he will interfere in the course of events. Or maybe he will give unflattering recommendations, dismiss not of his own free will, but, having found fault with something, also under the article.

So, it is worth taking some steps to dismiss only after all the details have been discussed with the new employer, the date of going to work has been agreed and the relevant documents have been signed. But now everything is ready, and now you can

2. Notify your supervisor

Our task is to part with the boss kindly, no matter how we really treat him. After all, the professional circle is quite close, especially in small towns, so the reputation of a brawler, a foolish and unbalanced person is of no use to us. Most employers prefer to hire non-conflict people, even if they are inferior in competence and professionalism to others. Knowledge and experience is a profitable business, but "the black sheep spoils the whole flock."

Best of all, if the conversation about dismissal goes tete-a-tete. Bye . And it is not known how the conversation will turn out. It depends on the relationship in the team, on the current work situation, our personal relationships.

Of course, there will be a question about the reasons for the dismissal (the option that the boss signs the statement without looking is not ours). On the one hand, you won’t say that his management methods do not inspire confidence, there are no prospects, there is no money, and in general “the fish is looking where it is deeper, and the person - where it is better”. On the other hand, in order to avoid an embarrassing situation, you need to answer sincerely, because we are not a professional liar who will not give ourselves away.

Therefore, we will think over in advance a diplomatic answer to such a question. For example, we received a serious offer, which we have always dreamed of, there is an opportunity for career growth, a new office not far from home, etc. It is worth noting in the end that we were glad to work under his supervision and thank you for the experience gained.

You need to be prepared for the option that the boss, not wanting to let go of a good employee, will offer to increase the salary, a new position, a change in the work schedule, or something else that can interest and retain. This counter-offer of the employer with better and more favorable working conditions in response to the employee's intention to quit was called a counter-offer. True, upon dismissal, it is received by a smaller part of workers who want to quit. As a rule, these are those who find it difficult to find a replacement. In addition, practice shows that not all employers keep their promises in the future.

Would we agree to such a proposal? According to statistics, young people still prefer not to change their decision, and those over 35–40 are responsible for consent.

Of course, the boss may decide that by reporting the dismissal, we are trying to bargain for a higher salary or position, but there's nothing you can do about it.

3. We warn you two weeks in advance

This period is needed in order to find a replacement and so that the new employee has time to get up to speed. With the consent of the employer, the period of 14 days may well be reduced. If it is known that it is problematic to find a replacement, it is better to notify the authorities earlier than two weeks in order to avoid possible claims, tears and misunderstandings.

The boss may declare that he will not sign the letter of resignation until he finds a suitable, in his opinion, new employee. There is no need to argue with him. You can go the other way - to comply with all the formalities and leave a statement in the office with a request to transfer to the head. Another way is to send the application by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt to the addressee, that is, to the chief. The date of delivery of the letter with the statement, which will be indicated in the notification, will be the starting date of the 14-day period. At the end of it, we go for the work book and the calculation. Do not forget about compensation for the days of unused vacation. We can take it not in money, but for days - to issue a vacation with further dismissal. The last day of vacation will be the last day of work at this workplace.

Of course, in this case, you will have to endure a little, because the boss will surely be offended and begin to pester with nagging. And if it will be completely unbearable, as an option, you can "get sick" - go on sick leave.

And one more thing to know: before the expiration of the 2-week period after submitting the application, it can be collected. It happens that circumstances change and the issue of dismissal becomes irrelevant.

4. Saying goodbye beautifully

And now our colleagues are aware that soon we will say goodbye to them. It would seem that you can relax and allow yourself to be a little late, be lazy, fool around, leave work earlier, because mentally we are already at a new workplace, in a different team.

As Omar Khayyam wrote: "Do not do evil - it will return like a boomerang, Do not spit into the well - you will drink water ...".

There is an opinion that in any conversation the last phrase is remembered: “It is important how to enter the desired conversation, but it is even more important to get out of it correctly,” said one intelligence officer. In the same way, it will be right to leave in order to keep fond memories of yourself. So:

  1. We will finish our section of work without leaving the employees “tails” and without forcing them to clean up the rubble.
  2. We will help the employee who replaced us to quickly get involved in work.
  3. We would like to thank our colleagues for their cooperation - if it doesn't work out in person, then by e-mail.
  4. We observe farewell traditions (treats in the form of tea, coffee, sandwiches, sweets).

How to quit your job and why is it so important to do it right? Read the article.

If you had problems finding a vacancy, if you did not know, how to quit your job, if you have experienced difficulties with choosing a field of activity, this can only mean one thing: you still have not subscribed to the mailing list of articles on this very useful site.

It was not by chance that I started a conversation about topics that relate to work and career, because today we will touch on one of them.

I believe that everything should be done as well as possible.

It is necessary not only to correctly start activities in a new place, but also to part with the old team and boss without problems and scandal.

Today we will talk about exactly how to quit.

Why is it so important to quit your job properly?

The bosses, they are like girls from a stupid but popular song.

The bosses are different: black, white, red.

That is, someone was quite lucky with the boss, while someone got the true fiend of Hell.

And when you have a chance to escape from this demon (you find a new job), then an irresistible desire arises: to tell the bastard boss everything you think about him, and at the same time to notify your colleagues about your “fairy” about their obedience to the satrap ...

This desire is understandable, but try to accumulate all your strength in order to drive it away.

The husband of one of my friends often repeats the phrase: "You need to leave so that you can always return."

It seems to me that he is absolutely right, because you never know how your fate will turn, no one has yet canceled the boomerang law.

What if it doesn't work out for you in a new place?

What if you have to cooperate with the old one?

And you have already burned all the bridges with no hope of rebuilding them.

Besides, try to look at this situation from the other side.

I once witnessed the disgusting picture of the departure of one of my colleagues who did not know how to properly quit your job, so he threw the most disgusting scandal in the office.

He shouted, what we are all idiots, and what our boss is a bastard.

It is clear that he seemed to himself a fighter against evil in a spotless cloak, but we saw only an ill-mannered loser with a bunch of complexes.

The mistakes of those who do not know how to properly quit their jobs


Not all people deliberately try to leave by slamming the door louder.

For some, this happens by itself, because they simply do not know the rules for the perfect dismissal from work.

The most common mistakes when changing jobs are as follows:

    The desire to break old ties in one fell swoop and at the same time - to take revenge on everyone who hurt you or badly during your work.

    And you just need to leave, while maintaining your face.

    The misconception that you can easily do without maintenance good relationship with a former boss and colleagues.

    And about the fact that you may well intersect with one of your colleagues at seminars, conferences, but anywhere?

    The habit of telling nasty things about your old colleagues at a new place of work, about how much you had to endure while you worked in this branch of Hell.

    Particularly talented applicants begin to do this during the interview, and then they are surprised: “How is it: I wasn’t taken ?!”.

    Unwillingness to defend their rights.

    There is no need to make a scandal, but it is imperative to talk (that is, to talk, and not to yell) about compensation for unused vacation or the timing of payment of the remainder of the salary.

    Manipulating a new job offer to get a pay raise or a managerial position.

    Idiots don't become bosses, so they'll get you through in no time and get you in trouble.


Quitting your job so as not to create problems for yourself or for people is easy enough.

The main thing is to stick to these tips:

    Tell the first one that you are going to leave, namely the boss.

    Not half of the office in secret, but your boss.

    It is better to do this in private, and not shouting: "That's it, goat, your domination is over, I'm going to where they will love and respect me!" in front of the entire team.

    Remember, you must write your application two weeks before leaving.

    Do not cheer yourself up with hopes that you threw down your application and were free in 5 minutes.

    A smart boss will be able to drink another bucket of your blood during these two weeks, if you do not resolve issues with him in an amicable way.

    Finish all your business.

    Don't leave tails to the new employee who comes to your place.

    Why do you need curses that will be sent by a beginner trying to clean up your blockages.

    Don't indulge your villainous instincts.

    Do not row paper clips, files, paper, or pushpins with both hands.

    Well, why do you need all this?

    To destroy the remnants of self-esteem with unnecessary trash?

    Do not be insolent during the mandatory two-week period.

    There is no need to be constantly late and go home earlier, demonstrating with your behavior: “I don’t care, I hardly work here anymore.”

    Make sure that you, as already almost unemployed here, do not get paid the same wages for the last month.

    Leave nicely with warm words to your colleagues and your boss.

    If this is accepted in your office, then you can even set a "waste" (to set the table - this is a decryption for the dull).

    Do not tell everyone in a row how well you will be on, what prospects await you there.

    Hell, worse than the current one, may well await you there, and such stories will annoy colleagues and bosses.

  1. Remember that the results of your activities belong to the old office (unless otherwise agreed by the contract), so you should not take these developments with you.
  2. Leave the work area clean.

    Clean up your desk drawers, throw away all unnecessary papers, and take your personal belongings with you.

    Leave with a smile on your face and gratitude to the people with whom you worked side by side, and to the boss, thanks to whom they had money for bread and butter.

    Even if you don't have much to thank, make an effort on yourself.

The tips in the video below will also be helpful.

We look, remember:

If you stick to these simple rules and avoid common mistakes, you will never again feel ashamed of your actions, as you did before, when you did not know how to quit your job.
