“Regardless of the mood in which you leave the company, you should not burn bridges,” says Dana Manshiali. "It depends on your words when you quit whether the company will support you in the future." Dana notes that usually people regret what they said when they submitted their resignation.
When leaving the company it is best to talk about the positive aspects, for example, about the experience gained. “Try to use words that will not leave the leadership an unpleasant aftertaste, no matter how difficult it may be. It can always happen that you again have to get a job in this place, ”Manshiali says.
Lynn Taylor advises not to rush and spend some time thinking about the upcoming conversation. “Write out the positive aspects of working for the company. The bosses will remember everything you say. Exposing negativity in this case makes no practical sense. ”
Here is a list of 17 things you can't say when you quit.
1. "I'm leaving ... today"
You should never leave the company without giving management enough time to think about the situation and find a new employee. “If you can offer your superiors more than two weeks, it will positively affect your reputation, even if the company does not need so much time,” Taylor says.
2. “This is the worst organization I've ever worked for.”
In order not to hammer a few additional nails into the lid of your coffin, you should not give the company negative ratings - this way you can only lower your chances of returning if necessary. “There is nothing good in publicly humiliating a company,” Dana says.
Better to say: "I hope that my skills will be more in demand elsewhere."
3. “You do not know how to manage people”
Firstly, insults will not lead to anything. Secondly, the quality of management depends equally on superiors and on subordinates, notes Manshiali.
Instead, you can say: "It seems to me that we are both tired of each other, so that our relationship as a manager and subordinate was not what we should be." However, it is best to avoid this topic altogether in a conversation.
4. “No one likes working here.”
“Do not try to portray the captain on a sinking ship. Even if what you say is true, your colleagues will not appreciate your impulse, since no one chose to speak on their behalf, ”says Taylor. “Even if they are going to jump from the ship, they will cope with this task on their own.”
5. “Other employees get promoted, and I'm moving nowhere, so I'm leaving.”
“To hear this is sad, because a person who says so does not understand that his career advancement has nothing to do with the success of his colleagues. This indicates a low level of self-awareness, ”said Dana.
6. “What we do is not in accordance with generally accepted standards”
This will not add points to the retiring person, even if the criticism is constructive. “As soon as you said something like that, you’re already perceived as a traitor, so don’t give the management any reason to think that you can become an obstacle for them,” says Lynn.
7. “My work is paid too low” or “Salaries in this company are not competitive”
You should not reduce everything to money. “Statements about unsatisfactory wages, even if they are fair, will be perceived as attacks against the company, and will affect your recommendations and future careers in general,” Taylor notes. “Think carefully about what you gain, or rather, lose, openly criticizing employer policy. ”
Marshial agrees with Lynn: “You cannot judge the competitiveness of your salary unless you have conducted statistically reliable market research.”
If you still want to mention the salary, you can try: "I was lucky to find a position that would give me and my family a little respite financially."
8. “I am worried about the future of the company”
“You simply express your fears before leaving, and the leadership seems to get a stone in the head,” Lynn Taylor said. It is better not to share your doubts with the employer.
9. "He never allowed me to be realized, and she was always rude to me."
Now is not the time to mention your relationship with colleagues, says Marshiali. "Too late. Are you leaving. With this approach to business, you will look miserable and weak - so do not do this. Speak only about yourself. ”
10. “I do not get enough work” or “I am always bored”
This statement speaks only of the lack of initiative, and the employee who uttered such a thing forever marks himself in the eyes of his superiors as "unmotivated." Shifting blame on the boss or employees in this case is useless - what was, was. The best tactic is to speak briefly, professionally, and thank you for the opportunities provided.
