Your Resignation Speech

lovinni
By lovinni

Say this is the moment you're waiting for. You are inside your boss office waiting to fire your resignation speech.

What will you say? How will you deliver it that there will be no room for any negotiation. Any well written statements? If possible no rudeness attached.

I have an Indian manager who is a bigger arse hole..so I need a real power statement to him..he thinks he is real cute to his staff. In reality he is a cute babe dressed as a male !

In my previous company, my boss came to my room, not me who came to his room.

Why should you prepare something that you don't know when it will be needed?

However, a friend of mine told me: Never burn the bridge....!

Rocknroll, visa status? well lemme say if there's a will, there MUST BE A WAY! (excluding other complicationsn that life has)

That's really a bad excuse!

Im working a peaceful exit...no violence or hurt feelings...

Lovinni,

Enough fantasizing. What about your Visa status? Are you ready to move out of the country and quickly at that? For example in a few hours? Bags packed and all that?

If not, forget the speech. Make nice, give them notice, offer an excuse, ("My Dog is dying back home"), clear your desk, get an NOC and go on good terms.

Cheers

and tell me why you want to go.

In my company now, I am consider one of the "elder" and top management listen to me, really listen to me regardng a lot of matters specifically regarding employees concern or whatever including grievances. So usually, if anybody wanted to go out of the company, they usually comes to me first and ask for advice and most of the times, they follow it unless for those who opted the hard way.

A lot of our QL friends have said already, if you finish your contract, the company can not tie to your chair to remain (unless for some sensitive position that a replacement is needed prior to your moving out, and it make sense).

DMS...i spoke to him twice for this matter..and gave me counter offers. and i know he will on the next occasion. but no need. so i need a power statement that he can no longer negotiate with me!

after handing he letter, you say this,"Sorry Boss, I need to go. I want new opportunity and new challenges. My work here is becoming boring and I feel my potentials are not properly explored (serious face, please), Goodbye, Boss, hope we'll meet again someday", then as you are about to go, say "P.S. Boss, unless you triple my salary, because I have an offer" Hehehehehehehe!!!!!!

Check the reaction.

I can no longer work with anyone who loses respect to his peers who used to be supporting the organization's objectives. There isnt a perfect working environment but things get worse and finally you say...its too much. We all deserve to move on and risk what lies ahead hoping its better. but id rather take this risk than getting tied up in such situation...

I never had liked my boss because he was a liar and a cheat, so thanked him for the opportunity to work with the clients I had and the staff, who were wonderful, but that I would rather work for someone that I could trust to be honest and who always followed through with what they said they would do. Got up from my chair, handed him my key and never looked back.

The staff who were all there, called me later to say it took him about 3 minutes before he could close his mouth...lmao..

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

lovinni, they can't demand anything! Your obligation is to give them a letter. But you don't have to give any explanation, you do it if you want to. Of course it's better to give some explanation if you want to keep a good relationship with them.

malley not here...in our own soil its possible...

that's what i want to do alexa, i hope there wont be any counter offers. but...i know my boss..he doesnt want anyone to easily get away. this is usually the dilemma...

Why would you need a speech to back up your letter? You resign you resign, finished. They can't chain you to your desk.

By lovinni• 18 Oct 2008 18:56

speech? because sometimes your letter needs a back up...
