Give a fair amount of notice. It can be flattering if your new job wants you to start right away, but as much as day-of quitting can be extremely satisfying, the polite thing to do at any job is to give at least two weeks’ notice. This allows your management to assess what they need in your absence, and helps you get your ducks in a row.
Do not Feel compelled to share every detail. Often, when quitting, workers may feel the need to explain every single detail of their exit, especially when sending out a company-wide farewell. This is unnecessary. Your close work friends probably want to know what you’re doing next, but most coworkers don’t need to know where you’re vacationing during your week off.
do not Take to social media about it. You can definitely announce on Facebook that you’re looking for new work, or that you’re excited about your new opportunity, but unloading all of your workplace gripes on social media is neither a good look for you, nor helpful for the company. You do want to work again, and future employers, I’m sure your mother has told you, might go looking to see what you’ve said.
