There can be many reasons to resign. For example, your personal plans simply did not include a promotion anytime soon because you were going to devote time to your family or wanted to take a sabbatical. It is somehow not accepted to give such proposals, so you need to take time to think and think carefully about how to refuse, without putting yourself or the leadership in an awkward position.
Instructions
Step 1
Whatever reasons you may be guided by, the arguments that you give as the reason for your refusal should be thought out, balanced and formulated so that the employer feels that you are considering your refusal from his position as well. To prepare and justify the refusal, take a time out.
Step 2
Assess the implications of your transition from an employer's perspective. An excellent motivation will be the confidence you expressed that if you move to another position, you will have to leave the job to solve problems that are very important for the company. Explain to your employer that finding a replacement for you will be time consuming and costly for the business.
Step 3
In a situation where you want to refer to the impossibility of accepting the offer due to the fact that at the moment you need to solve some family problems, you do not need to start the conversation by mentioning them. First, thank you for your trust and say that this offer is very interesting to you. Show how much you are in control of the situation and that you are aware of the company's policies. Then say that you have analyzed your possibilities, but you will be able to fully realize them only after a while, because at this stage you are facing an important problem in the family, which requires your participation to resolve. Such a refusal will not be perceived as an insult, and at the same time, you will show yourself as a responsible person, demonstrate the inclinations of a future leader.
Step 4
It also happens that you are not satisfied with the direction of activity that they are going to entrust you with. In this case, it makes sense to directly say about it, thanking for the trust. Share your plans and consult with your manager if it will be possible to bring them to life.
