Sometimes quitting is a job difficult. We worry about the consequences for our career, the rebuttal from our manager or even just an awkward conversation. Lots of different thoughts can go through your mind: “what if they ask me to stay?”, “what if they offer me a position in a different department that I don’t want?“, “what if they guilt me into staying for another few months or promise me there will be changes, when I know in reality that nothing will change?“. And so on…
In order to deal with these types of issues, I’ve come up with a few tips that have helped clients in the past - now, you can use them for yourself.

If you are thinking about quitting your job or you have any questions for me - let me know in the comments below.
What about if your manager ask you why your leaving and I tell them I would rather not answer is that a better answer.
Should we answer if manager asks where we are going to?
@@deborahawe5428 Well it really depends on what the truth is - personal or professional reasons; and their intention behind the question. But yeah you could say that once you can deliver it in a polite way. Hope it goes well!
@@eetang2528 Do you want to tell them?
What to answer if my manager ask why i'm leaving because I know my boss is the kind of boss with WHY question?
I don’t know if it’ll be difficult. I’m excited to leave my job. I’m so grateful for it and how it’s helped me advance in life but the job has become a source of anxiety, stress, and depression. I’m choosing ME and moving on.
Wow. You sound just like me! I hope it all went over well for you, and that you found a better opportunity! 🤗
I feel you man.. Same here
Same here
Same
Yes - it's such a common feeling in November 2021 --- worked through a pandemic and 20 mos. later it's just become too much to bear daily + unrealistic and overloaded / new responsibilities and a micromanaging boss ... 😕
It’s tough when your boss makes you feel wanted and makes you feel bad for leaving, that’s why it’s tough for me to quit even though I really want to quit. I’ve been contemplating on what to say for months now and this video helped.
Did you quit
@@jimbeam3081 ha ha!
Just quit! Life is too short. If you would regret on your death bed thinking you worked there for so long then it’s time to quit!
silence yessir!! I did quit my G, my last day is the 28th. Exciting times for me rn excited for my future. Finna be lit
@@silentassassin3086 congrats
5 minutes away from doing this... nerves!!!!
Hope it went well for you Gerjo!
About 30 minutes away from doing this myself! I really like my boss so this is going to be...interesting.
@@HotTubFoot69 I know it can be challenging. Hope it went well!
A day away from doing this ahhh so stressful
About an hour away from quitting myself. Hope it all went well for you!
I’m on lunch right now and going to tell my boss as soon as I get back. I’m quit scared as I just started this job a month ago so I feel bad, but with my situation I need time to tend to my personal life.
Edit. I told him and he was super understanding and cool about it!
Good for you! I'm glad it went well. I also am going to tell my boss next week. He's a difficult character and a man with little paitence, so i'm quite worried. But you gotta do whatcha gotta do.
Well done! Glad it went well Thomas!
Coming from someone who is bad at saying no to those in a good relationships, it is really difficult and I find this video really helpful. You gotta go into your manager's office with the decision that you know you must not change, no matter what your manager says.
Quitting my Job tomorrow, wish me luck.
Ill be doing this tomorrow after being there for a 2 years thanks for the help
Hope it went well!
@@ronankennedy yeah it did! Thank you
Same here been working for 2years finally i have to say goodbye
Today I am going to say Goodbye. Thank you for your video
Same here! Learning to cope with it leaving a job of 1 and a half years soon. My mental and physical health have taken strain and I feel those should come 1st even before a paycheck.
I have been up all night contemplating how I will tell my manager I am quitting and this is the most insightful video I’ve viewed. Thanks!! Now to get the courage up to make the call.
I’m not giving a two weeks notice though. I hope this goes over well. I’ve only been there three weeks and have not had a happy moment since I’ve gotten there. But some how I’ve managed to excel and the manager has noted it on several occasions. I feel really bad but this is something i need to do for my own personal sanity.
Glad it was helpful! Hope it goes well Yolanda!
@@yolandasample7863 don’t feel bad you doing it for you. And yes never give a notices cuz they won’t give you a notice when they fire you.
I'm here to watch the video but i'm also reading all your comments. Everyone has been very helpful. I realize that "You are not alone". We went through a lot and you are all right, it's time to choose me. Thank you
You're welcome, glad it helped!
was ready an hour ago and my shift starts in 31 minutes.. i decided to eat KFC just before work to at least make myself calm, and now i'm in the mall's toilets because my stomach decided to act up.. what are the odds god damn it
Greasy food on top of a nervous stomach will get you for sure. :(
Resigning from my job in one of the big four tomorrow. Thanks for this video, it really helped me understand how to talk to my boss about it.
Glad it was helpful!
How did it go?
@@shutit4024 It went great. I handled the situation very well as I was prepared.
I am actually quiting tomorrow, I try to do my job but the boss keeps yelling at me and I have only been there a month so it's time I just got out of there.
Thanks mate that really helped. I'm just about to quit my job tomorrow and I will literally use your lines. Genius. Thank you.
Best of luck Ewelina - glad it helped! Thanks for the feedback
this is the only video I've managed to find where anyone has given actual examples of *what to say* not just broad topics to hit. Thank you!
Cool, glad you found it helpful Lilly :-)
I am doing this exact thing today at the end of my work day. I have been here over 4 years & I have loved my job but it has become so toxic
Well done on taking action Nikki! Hope it went well.
How did it go? I’m doing mine in 3 days
@@shutit4024 it went well I left that day feeling good.
@@shutit4024 good luck with yours!!
@@ronankennedy thank you & thank you for this video it truly helped me
Just accepted a job offer and will be resigning from my current position on Monday.
I’m 24 and just put in my 2 weeks today. I’m working construction for my uncle in law which made it more awkward than it would for most people. I’m changing careers though and taking up truck driving. So I told him the truth that I just don’t enjoy that line of work (construction) and that I want to try something new and see where it goes. He asked me how much they’d pay me but when I told him he didn’t even try to bargain with me. I’m happy I’m leaving this job. I hated going to work here for the last 2+ years. Of course I didn’t tell him that part.
R u still a truck driver?
tried to quit my job over the phone but she was being very passive aggressive and didn't want to listen to what I had to say and blamed it on my boyfriend and told me to "stick it out until 2 months" and I ended up reluctantly agreeing. It's hard as an introvert and now I feel like I'm being forced to come to work when I wanted to quit for months. She lost a lot of my respect
This 3 min video is really helpful.
I'm going to quit today as I received a really good offer & position from another company
I'm quitting my job tomorrow. I got a new one but I gotta go. And I'm giving less than 2 weeks because I want a week off.
I said, "I've accepted a position at another company. I'm giving you my two weeks' notice. My last day will be next Friday."
Looked them in the eyes, kept it short and to the point.
Where does 'Thanks for the opportunity' come into that.
@@TaxingIsThieving It didn't, as it happened. I could have said it five years ago. Not now.
Make sure to feel superior to me because of how much class you have that I lack. That was the entire point of your comment, no?
@@VinceLyle2161 I forgot the 😂. And that's what this guy is saying to do no matter what.
This has brought me some peace. Thanks!
Thank you so much this is going to help me quit my job on Sunday! After five years being there I just find it so difficult to quit especially because I’m a caregiver and I have to deal with the whole family. It’s hard but I need to do this for myself. Thank you you should have more followers!
Glad it helped Mayra! And you're very welcome. I hope it goes well for you on Sunday. Ronan
I'm a caregiver to an I love my clients so much but I don't like the company that I work for so I don't know what to do
@@its-meh-charlotte9139 trust me leave
This is great help! How do you start the conversation with a manager who has been difficult to work with but you don’t want to outrightly say that? You cannot use career progression as an reason? How would you talk to the manager, when the reason for leaving is the stress, workload and anxiety.
Well, what about being honest in a positive way? For example, 'this has been a good opportunity for me to learn what's important to me'. And then you could follow up with a 'I feel it's the right time for me to move on...'.
How does that sound to you?
Why am I feeling so stressed about this when I'm a bloody dishwasher (This was my first job)
Relatable
I feel you. It was my first job aswell
🤗🤗
Because you're responsible. That's a good thing!
I have a bit of a shit situation for my boss, just two days ago his most important Employee immigrated to another country because an opportunity presented itself for her to make a change that she wanted. I know he will struggle very much to find a replacement for her and yesterday a similar opportunity presented itself for me to live in a big city without having to pay the insane rent that normally comes with that city. That means the two employees (me and the girl) that he relies most on will leave in the same month. I hope he'll be understanding, I can still work for a month so I hope he can find my replacement in the meantime.
What happened? I'm one of two employees too. I replaced a girl who went on maternity leave and left him with loads of work and he was angry then.
@@TaxingIsThieving I told him the day after my original comment, he was glad I could still work another month and he tried to find my replacement throughout that month and succeeded, funny enough, this weekend I'm staying at my parents house and they were short staffed and asked if I could work two days. So I'll be there for two days again to help them out and I think a good relationship between me and my boss made is easier for me to leave and that in return now gives them the opportunity to call me and me being willing to help out.
This helps a lot the best polite line ever
.They want you to stay longer than a month? They want to make you a new offer to stay? Of course they do! That is what will be best for them. Now, what would be best for you ... right?
Resigning today, super nervous, I've grown very close friendships with my boss and coworkers and am scared to lose them
Best of luck with it Maddie! Hope it goes well for you
How'd it go?
@@TaxingIsThieving It went well, I don't see them as often as I used to but we still have hung out outside of work. So the fear of losing them has been overcome. It was a hard few weeks during the transition- but I'm at a happier job now!
I will be doing this tomorrow. I feel awful because it’s only been a week since I started there, but I would absolutely rather die than keep on working there
Hope it went well Simone
Hey,just wanna know..what reason you gave to leave a job being on probation period.
@@kim987ful I have no clue what a probational period is. And my mom ended up talking to her w/o telling me so when I went into her office she just like told me the general date I'd leave... it wasn't a normal job
I’m not weak it was as easy as sending resignation with immediate effect once I received my new contract. Just mad exciting I don’t understand why ppl are scared … this isn’t a marriage
This was so helpful. I have a follow up question. Do I request a 1:1., and then tell them? Do I call her, tell her then follow up with my LOR? My nerves are wrecked building the courage to have this courageous conversation. Thank you
A good question to ask yourself is, how would I like to receive this news? In my case, I think face-to-face is the best, and it's what I would appreciate. The phone may be more suitable if there is a big distance involved and it doesn't make sense to travel for a 5 minute conversation. Best of luck with it!
Wish me luck, my boss is going to explode 😬😬😬
Good luck! Hope it goes well!
Mine too lol tomorrow is the day
@@ikramrafi6481 how'd it go
How did it go? I’m handing my letter in next week my boss and her side kick is going to be mad lol oh well should have never had that surprise “meeting” on me on a Friday night after I clocked out when they had 40 minutes to talk to me lol she had me in the room with her side kick asking me dumb ass questions from the day before lol
@@shutit4024 If that meeting doesn't show on your wages and you let H.R. know with no results, file a complaint with the state wage and labor dept-even if you no longer work there.
Putting my resignation papers in next 15 mins.. I hope this video will help me in reducing some anxiety.. 🙄
Hope it went well Arpit!
Brief, to the point, and what I hope to be very effective. Took diligent notes! Thank you so very much, this is so very helpful!
Glad it was helpful Lisa!
I'm doing this in about 20 min after working 4 days. I'm scared because the last 4 days my coworkers And boss been telling me they see so much potential in me and can't wait to have me doing much more, I work at a oil changing place.
Hope it went well Dan!
How did it go?
Doing this tomorrow. I work for a small joinery company so when I leave it will be my boss and his father who is working 2 day weeks. I know what I'm doing is for the best for myself to progress further in life but it will go down like a lead balloon
I hope it went well George. You have to do what's best for yourself in that situation. Ronan
How'd it go?
Smile, nod and go on autopilot for the next two or four weeks. Stay polite, courteous and finish them work allocations.
I was hired to be a GM. Well I'm a glorified front desk jockey on a salary, working 2nd shift, six days a week!
I absolutely hate it!
The issue is, we are short staffed and for now the owner doesn't want to hire anyone.
I'm new (3months in) and said, I don't want to work six days a week, 2nd shift every day. (I don't mind 3days) He looked at me and said, I will look into that. Meaning, Too bad. I don't want to leave them high and dry but I want a life.
And my salary was based on a 5 day work week. Ugh!!!!
Rise above…
Life changing moment getting ready to happen for me, wish me luck.
Best of luck!
I just walked in his office, pooped on his desk and left.
Way to be brave bro, poop letters are my go-to 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is gold
Thank you this really helped me to quit my job today so thank you
Glad I could help Thomas!
Please make more videos. We would loved to get more professional advices. Thank you very much. Much appreciated!❤
Will do!
Thank you , I'm having this talk today this was very helpful 👍
Glad it was helpful!
I got a job. I was naive and don't get anyone advice and now I'm regret it. It is so opposite of my personality and make me sick of it and one more thing is my health getting bad during the time i work so I'm going to quit next Monday 😪 wish me luck guys
Good luck!
Wow nice video...! I am also gonna talk this today to my boss..!!
Gah…. I don’t know why I have so much anxiety to tell my boss. It’s in my nature to do what others want me to do, not what I need to do for me.
Yeah that's a common concern. But also ask yourself, can you do your best work if you're heart's not in it anymore? And is that fair to them then, or you? Best of luck with it!
I struggling big time with this. Explains why I'm here. I even have a great opportunity awaiting me. I just can not get the courage to tell him. Why am I scared? lol
Best of luck with it benjamin! Be brave!
Great video! Haha leave it up to the Irish to make the quality content on how to convey something. They are masters of articulation! Cheers!
Thanks Jack! Much appreciated! Look out for the 90-day job change challenge that I've just posted-new video every 3 days! th-cam.com/play/PLySsm0jMPXTcmtSUIB-SW3MMpZee3cmLV.html
I quit last week. I literally just said "yeah im leaving, you've got me until the end of February"
how did it go?
As much as I've been mistreated here at my current company. I defo don't wanna burn bridges. So I am defo gonna do this approach.
Best of luck with it Divergence!
I’ve been working two full time jobs because I can’t leave my old job so I work from midnight to 8 am and then 9am to 7pm for a month trying to get the courage to tell them I’m leaving and don’t want to work graveyard shifts
Best of luck with it! Hope it goes well : )
I should have watched this video before I handed in my resignation. "More lopholes being open!" close them all! thanks
You're welcome :-)
I’m doing mine soon
@@shutit4024 make a plan
@@simopr09 plan on what? What to write in there? I did that but I’m quitting because I hate the job and I’m moving but I’m not telling them where I’m moving to although they’re very nosy and will ask more questions
@@shutit4024 I made the mistake of telling them where I was going. But I am not doing that again!
Because, they can get in touch with your new employer. They influence their judgement. So don't tell them. Because you have nothing to gain by telling them. Because I told them, now I am going to another job, and they think that I am going to the one they told them about.
The plan, I meant the new job.
I am happy for you that you found a better job.
thanks a lot for the lines. i need them tomorrow..🤭
Just did it. I quit.
Hope it went well Cholpon!
Thank you for this video as it has helped me to know what to say as I will be putting my notice in soon, I think it is hard as I meant to do it over a year ago but then backed out because of the fear even though work causes me anxiety ans caused me panic attacks but I ended up doing another year, so thanks as I’m less worried on what to say and am finally choosing me.
I’m scared to tell my boss I want to leave I don’t want to make my boss feel sad on how I say I want to leave
What did you tell them
Hello to you too!
Hello there!
I will do this tomorrow, Inshallah
So I got this job 2 week's ago and now I got another offer from my fiance's office and I really want that job, but the fact that I'm gonna tell in my new job that I want to leave is making me so sad, how should I tell them that I'm leaving after 2 months ? ((
What reason you gave?
Thank you brother, great video.
Glad you enjoyed it zain
This was actually the advice I needed. Thank you!
you're welcome :-)
I'm leaving but I totally love my job and the people - the problem is it is dead-end, but I would learn lots in it. Difficult for that reason!
Best of luck with the move!
this is really good and informative., thank you
You're very welcome!
I am literally one of two employees. I fear he will be passive aggressive towards me in my last 2 weeks which he was to the girl that went on maternity leave who I replaced. What do I say if he says, "That's a shame," or "Sorry to see you go, is there anything I can do?" which he probably will. I don't think he will have seen this coming!
Have you put in your 2 weeks? I will be putting my 2 weeks when I get another job. I'm so nervous thinking about it. I hate disappointing people but we have to be loyal to ourselves, not our employer/ manager.
@@rocio4618 At this rate it's more likely he sacks me, as I haven't done this week's work due to poor mental health (which I haven't told him about).
Absolutely! Or as they say on airplanes, you have to put on your own oxygen mask before helping anyone else.
Sorry to hear about your situation. If I made a video to help, is there anything you'd like me to cover?
You are an angel thank you!!
You're so welcome! 😇

I want tell my Manger I'm leaving through text message . I can't do it in person no matter how " unprofessional " it is I just can't.
How about phone? I know I need to do it face to face I just don't know when! Surely at the end of the working day so I don't then have to work with him! Awkward!
Simple tell them that you found a new job, that you are an at will employee/you owe them nothing, and todays my last day.
Have you tried this before? How did it go?
I am going to quit today. It's difficult since my boss retained me 6 months back. How can I talk my boss giving health reasons.

How does one leave their job is unsafe to work at?
Hi Claudia, I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean, but let me ask you, what stops you from leaving?
Does it matter when in the week you have this meeting? Is Friday bad?
I think it's best to do it when the other person is in a relaxed and good mood, if possible. That way they're better able to handle the conversation. So, ask yourself, when are they in the best mood possible?
Am scared am my boss called am resigning after nine month
Be brave Crybah! Best of luck with it!
About to go through this in 15min 😬
Same haha
Thanks🙂
Welcome 😊
Hi, What to say if I get a job offer from a better company and I just want to resign?
Well it depends what you'd like to say and the way you'd like to leave the relationship. Would you like to thank them? Would you like to help them replace you? Would you like to say anything else?
@@ronankennedy well should I tell them about the company I am joining?
