How to tell the boss about the dismissal?

Firing and looking for a new job is a common practice in a person's life. However, not everyone knows how to properly tell their boss about quitting in order to maintain a good relationship and get recommendations.

Most people will agree that it is not always easy to admit to your boss that you have a desire to quit. Even if it is not the first time an employee goes through such a procedure, each case is unique. Therefore, every time before you tell your boss about the dismissal, you should think carefully.

It's even more difficult to confess to a newcomer who has never quit before. Some are afraid of ruining relationships with the team and change their mind. Sometimes changing your mind is the right decision. If a person feels comfortable with the current team, no one can guarantee that in a new place, even in more favorable conditions, he will be able to establish relationships with colleagues.

But if an employee is thinking about changing his place of work, it means that he has reasons. You should think over your decision several times, and then write a statement to the employer of your own free will.

If the decision to change jobs has not changed, you should first inform your supervisor about this. It is recommended to tell about your desires before the letter of resignation is written. With this approach, you can maintain a good relationship with your superiors. However, this option is not suitable for cases where the relationship with the management has already been spoiled.

But if a person is on good terms with the director, you should not spoil them. This is due to the fact that the corporate world is rather small, so you don't need to make enemies for yourself. No one can say in advance who you will meet in the future. Quarrels with bosses can lead to a deterioration in reputation and difficulties in finding a job in the future. It should be borne in mind that the future manager can request recommendations from the previous place of work, and in case of conflicts, no one will write a good description to the former employee... Therefore, it is worth considering how to say goodbye to your current boss while maintaining a good relationship.

To do this, you must truthfully tell about the reason for your departure. Together with that you need to remember about diplomacy. If a person does not like the company itself and colleagues, do not dwell on this. But when you offer a higher position in a new job and pay, you do not need to hide such reasons. There is a possibility that the director will not want to lose a valuable employee and will offer a salary increase or career advancement.

Reasons of a different nature: family difficulties, relocation, fatigue and a desire to leave for another specialty. An adequate leader must understand all this. That's why with the help of the right conversation, you can always leave the company without quarrels, while maintaining normal relations... And there is no need to hide the true reasons for this.

And here it is not worth prescribing the true reasons in a written statement. There is enough legal basis for dismissal to prevent arbitrariness. The employee can leave after the agreed deadlines are fulfilled, if they are necessary, and no one can force them to justify in writing. The formulation of reasons is required only if the employee cannot work the prescribed days.

There are several reasons in the labor code that are called valid:

• if the employee is unable to continue working due to retirement;
• when enrolling in an educational institution;
• due to violation of legislation by the employer.

The right time and place to inform your boss about your decision is half the battle. Don't be afraid of negative reactions from your employer, since with the right actions, you can minimize the waves of negativity and say softer that a dismissal is planned. The best place for conversation is the director's office.

It is best to approach with a conversation at a time when there is no emergency at work.... It is also not recommended to approach with such things at lunchtime, because the manager must have time to listen to his colleague and sign the necessary documents. It is worth giving up the dialogue during business negotiations and before the end of the working day. It is advisable to come up with a conversation in the morning. Regardless of the relationship an employee is in with his superiors, you should not call the director on weekends or during the holidays to inform about the dismissal. You should always remember about tact and keeping your distance.

If a decision is made, you need to carefully read the employment contract concluded at the current location and study the termination clause... There should be information about the period for which the authorities should be notified of the dismissal. Some companies require at least one month in advance. It is important to fulfill the conditions of the employer so as not to let him down. At the same time, you do not need to report your decision six months in advance, since everything can change in such a time. If an employee is entrusted with work on an unfinished project, he should first finish it, and then go to talk about dismissal with his superiors.

In order to start a conversation with the director correctly, it is worth informing tactfully about the reasons for terminating the contract, while waiting for this, the use of a template phrase is allowed. The following conversation example can be used.

• “Good afternoon, Dmitry Viktorovich! Can we talk to you now? "
• "Dmitry Viktorovich, I was offered a new job, I want to take advantage of this offer."
• “I want to express my gratitude to you for everything that you have taught me. Thanks to you, I now have a model leader that I want to be like. "
• “Unfortunately, I feel that I cannot develop in this position. The new location that I have chosen will give me more prospects for development. "
• “Now the situation has developed in such a way that I need to say goodbye to your company. The reason for my decision lies in the move / family circumstances / my state of health. "

When pronouncing these phrases, you need to be aware that none of the templates can guarantee that the leader will hear what he is told and will be able to adequately perceive the situation... But with the help of a well-constructed speech, you can regulate the situation and minimize the conflict. Informing a good boss about your dismissal, you need to think about more than formulaic phrases, time and place.

It is important to thank a good leader who has invested in the development of the employee. Each person wants to hear on a subconscious level that his efforts were not in vain.

To quit properly, it's important to read the guidelines. They will help maintain a good reputation and relationship with the former team.

• In the case when the employee has firmly made the decision to dismiss, he needs to finish all projects, transfer his responsibilities to colleagueswho will be responsible for them.
• Should immediately discuss this issue with your boss: he must advise what needs to be done before dismissal. Some companies practice training a new employee - they may be asked to do this during a job.
• Colleagues should also be aware that they will soon have to say goodbye. It is good practice to give them notice. You can leave your contacts with the words that, if necessary, they can always ask for help. Such an attitude suggests that the employee is responsible for his work and takes care of his colleagues and common affairs with them.
• You shouldn't argue with your colleagues, since business contacts are important in any field of activity. Nobody knows how the circumstances will turn out, with whom they will communicate in the future. Useful acquaintances should always be present in the life of every person.
• Before you leave you should leave only good memories of yourself... The option with a small buffet table is the optimal solution with which you can say goodbye to the team.
• You can also exchange phonesto be in touch in the right situation.
• On your last working day you should tidy up your table, clean up and collect things.

It is also worth familiarizing yourself with the main mistakes that people often make before leaving. Here is a list of the things you shouldn't do.

• Quitting day after day, without warning, without transferring your work affairs. It will take time for the bosses to replace the employee - this needs to be understood.
• It is strictly forbidden to criticize the company openly. Do not say in style: "This is the worst place where I have ever worked." This approach will lead to negative reactions, and particularly resentful leaders can take revenge with a "good" characterization.
• The topic of poor-quality employee management during the conversation should not be brought up. This is too offensive a topic that depends not only on the manager, but also on the employees themselves.
• If there is a tense atmosphere in the work team, where the majority has a negative attitude towards the boss, do not speak on behalf of the majority. You should speak only on your own behalf, because a specific person is leaving at the moment, and the rest remain in their places.
• You cannot judge your colleagues "for the eyes" talk about their mistakes and weaknesses. This is categorized as bad form.
• Criticizing the work processes and programs of the current place of work can make the retired employee an enemy... You can constructively express yourself in a mild form about what can be corrected, but we must not forget about caution and a sense of proportion.
• You shouldn't talk about the fact that the employee is very bored in the current workplace. Non-motivation is not the best trait that the bosses should see in their employee.
• It is also better to keep unnecessary tips and tricks to yourself.
• Even if the director asks about a new job, there is no need to talk about it with admiration. Better to talk constructively about the company and why you decided to work there.
