WHY WE SHOULD CELEBRATE QUITTING/RESIGNATION DAY? I recently came across a picture of the resignation cake that my colleagues had prepared for almost a week. We ate our hearts out from the stress and reminisced about the fact that one of us would be leaving, and that person is me. We enjoyed this moment by playing Monopoly, cards, and Jenga when we had time. The goodbye was intense. When the time finally came, the hug and wave would be the last. No more good morning or banter; there was a huge queue. No more. Why should we celebrate Resignation Day? We all have our own reasons for quitting our jobs. For some, it may seem like a bad idea due to financial concerns, but they do it in order to find a better-paying job that can meet their needs and reduce stress, ultimately benefiting their health. For others, it's a positive step towards attaining their dream job. The main reason for quitting is to embark on a new journey. I want you to know that quitting is not a sign of weakness, but rather a way to seek improvement. There will be challenges in finding a new job, and there may be some regrets, but it's important to focus on the future. It is worth celebrating. #resign #respectfulexit #workplaceculture

"Quit your job when it starts hurting your body and soul" Easier said than done, we usually advise people to quit their jobs when it's a must to quit. Reasons of quitting could vary between (demotivation, nothing more to learn, toxic environment, depressing management, practices of modern slavery...etc." However, I tend to draw a line between "quitting a job" and "preparing oneself" to quit. If you have to, at least be prepared for it. Preparedness could articulate around two main pillars: 1- Ethical commitment to your current employer. make the quitting process smooth by setting a handover plan, duly resignation notice and share a set of recommendations. Under no obligation you're to share the exact reasons of quitting. Remember that you need your current employer for future referencing, so you might want to leave with good faith with no grudges behind. 2- Update your CV and tailor it to the specific requirements per job application. Master interview skills, and know your market value as it'll help you negotiate job offers comfortably. Last but not least, do quit your job if it's no longer tolerable. Humans work to fulfill their existence as humans and to serve a cause, not to be mistreated or manipulated.

Quitting a job is easy... A newcomer the other day was telling his wife's employer was taken over by another company and it has been hard going since, and many of her "old" colleagues have quit and she was thinking of doing the same.. He asked my 2 cents about it.... Mind you she was doing survival jobs for a long time and only got this role a few months ago... I told him, if she is quitting - not to do it until she found another role given she needs a job and how difficult it was to get this one... But then also went on to say... A change in management is a "change" and as human we are naturally not that receptive to change. New ways of doing things with the new management is a new learning process. Both these will be seen as "difficult" or seen as negative...that's how most of us are wired. I also reminded him that her colleagues leaving isn't a reason for her to leave too! But then more importantly told him with more employees from the old management leaving, this could be an opportunity for her as the new management would still need some "continuity" ! Adversity and change at work is not easy and quitting looks so easy...it is! But please slow down and think it through...talk to someone before doing anything rash! #jobsekers #quitting #resigning #jobsearch

Should I Stay Or Should I Go? 😓 Have you ever felt that heavy weight of uncertainty, making you question where you're headed? We've all been there at some point, grappling with the thought, "Should I quit? If you are contemplating quitting make sure to ask yourself these three questions first: 1. Am I really clear on what I want? Are you clear that your feelings about leaving aren’t just about a temporary issue in your current workplace? I would first be transparent about any challenges you are facing and seek advice from your manager to improve your current situation. If there is no real change after being clear with management then it's time to ask yourself the next question. 2. Have I done my research? When you're unhappy at work, whether it's due to a difficult manager or frustration over your pay, it’s easy to think the grass is greener on the other side right? Be honest with yourself about what you want and recognize your limitations. Weigh the pros and cons compared to your current role and consider which aspects would be most beneficial for your career and if it's time to move ask yourself the last question. 3. Have I thought about the bigger picture? Think long-term. If you haven't already, come up with a long-term goal of where you want to end up in your career and define a plan of action to get there. If you don't see your current employer part of that plan of action then it's most likely time to quit. #recruitment #recruitmenttips

Should a person fear telling their employer they're quitting? Why would a person fear leaving their place of work? Understanding the reasons behind this fear is crucial. In my experience, I've never hesitated to quit a job or worry about my employer's reaction. Until, my most previous place of employment... Having a respectful and understanding work relationship is key. At my previous job, witnessing how departing employees were treated made me uneasy. Promises were made and past words were used against them upon quitting. This raised concerns about the work environment's toxicity. Feeling apprehensive about leaving a job due to fear of repercussions is a clear sign of a toxic workplace. It's essential to prioritize one's well-being and avoid such environments.

Ever quit your job before? . . We have observed numerous instances of people leaving their jobs perhaps you might have also experienced quitting a job at some point. Though we are familiar with the concept of quitting we may not always understand the specific reasons behind it or the various types of quitting. Let me share the specifics and categories of quitting ⭕By-the-Book Quit This is the professional approach, involving a face to face meeting with your manager, providing a standard notice period, and potentially explaining your reasons for leaving. ⭕Grateful Quit Similar to the By The Book approach, but with a stronger emphasis on expressing gratitude for the opportunity and sometimes offering to help with the transition. ⭕In-the-Loop Quit Discussing your intention to leave with your manager before formally resigning, allowing for open communication and potentially exploring ways to address any concerns that might lead you to leave. ⭕Perfunctory Quit A brief and straightforward resignation, often lacking detailed explanations for leaving. ⭕Avoidant Quit Informing colleagues or HR about your departure instead of your direct manager, potentially due to discomfort or unresolved issues. ⭕Impulsive Quit Making an abrupt decision to leave your job without much planning or forethought, often due to strong negative emotions towards the work environment. ⭕Bridge-Burning Quit Leaving in a negative and destructive way, potentially damaging relationships and burning bridges with colleagues and the company. ⭕Quite Quit It is when employees continue to put in the minimum amount of effort to keep their jobs, but don't go the extra mile for their employer and don't really care if they lose the job. Have you ever quit before? If so which type was it?
