Firing is not the end of life. This is the first step towards new beginnings, new career heights and professional achievements. It is only important to make sure of the need for dismissal and to do everything right.
According to statistics, all employees, with varying frequency, think about dismissal. The reasons for dismissal are different for everyone, ranging from psychological pressure and dissatisfaction with the salary, ending with professional burnout and the impossibility of career growth. In general, it is not so important what prompted you to quit, it is important to do everything right and not regret anything.
General recommendations
So that during the process of dismissal your nervous balance does not shake and the prospects for further career advancement do not dim, it is not enough to notify your boss about your decision to leave, you need to do it right. You can't just rush into your boss's office, spread your legs on his desk and throw mud at the entire organization, and then defiantly leave, slamming the door. This only happens in the movies.
Prepare for this conversation, think about the benefits that you learned as a professional. Thank your boss for the skills you have acquired and explain that in the current reality, you cannot move on. Do not burn all the bridges with your old job: this is a delicate matter and in it, like in a divorce, it is important to remain friends.
Turn off emotions, make sure that your decision is correct and irrevocable. It is foolish to quit just to put someone in their place or to prove something - such liberty can cost you dearly.
Mistakes that should never be allowed
If you are in doubt and have not yet had time to put the thoughts of the upcoming dismissal in your head, then pull yourself together. Experts warn against discussing the desire to change jobs with colleagues and a manager. The reason is simple: you may still change your mind, but the distorted rumors that have reached the manager will not go anywhere. It is better to consult with family and friends.
Another common mistake is an employee's unpreparedness to talk with a manager about dismissal. As practice shows, in half of the cases, employers convince those who have doubts to stay, offer an increase in wages, better working conditions and a change in job responsibilities. Be prepared to resolutely refuse or accept this offer with certain conditions, which, again, you need to think about in advance.
The third mistake is emotions. Establish a neutral tone for your conversation at any cost. Discuss the conditions of the last weeks of your work with the employer, be as correct, friendly and responsible as possible.
