How do I tell my boss I'm leaving? (nicely)?

I think you should explain to your boss why are leaving. Reinsure them of your relationship with each other and just be honest. Express your opinions, feelings and emotions. Your tone and choice of words is also very important in the situation. You should establish what you're going to say and how you are going to say it before you decide to talk to your boss. It's important that if at any point during the conversation, you say something you think has been misconstrued, that you apologize and explain yourself. You should also tell your boss that you needed to do this for your own well-being and that if at any point during the conversation that they are hurt, upset, or disagree with something you have said, that they make it known to you. It's important for you and your boss to have an understanding during this situation. The most important part of relationships are communication and reciprocation. I hope everything goes well!

I would ask to speak to my boss and have a face to face meeting. When she is available to sit with me privately, I would proceed to tell her that I have enjoyed working for her and that it is time for me to move on to another job. I would thank her for everything she had done for me and what a great boss she has been. I would ask if we could stay in contact in the future because I appreciate and respect her as a boss as well as a person and would like to maintain a connection.

If you've decided to leave your job for a new opportunity, its always a good idea to do so gracefully. If possible, give your current employer sufficient notice and if you're willing and it's relevant to your employer, let them know if you're happy to help with creating interview questions or assisting in finding a replacement. In terms of telling them you're leaving be sure to thank them for your time and the opportunity to learn and develop skills. A tactful way to explain why you're leaving might be that the new role allows you to learn a new skill set or fits your personal circumstances/lifestyle focus better at this point in time.

First, dont let them hear from elsewhere. But regardless of that, once you have finalised your move, have a meeting with them. 1 on 1. Sit down and let them know that you have come accross this wonderful opportunity and you think that it will benefit you in so and so way. And that you have decided to take it up and pursue it. Tell them thanks for all their support and help in the development of you career. Give them honest appreciation for anything they have done. If you were dissatified with your job for some reason, tell them in the nicest way you can possible. Then offer to work with them to ensure your transition wouldn't affect their team/plans. You will give all necessary knowledge transfers and transition meetings. Train some people in what you have been working on. Work out this plan with them and say that you're committed to help them out with the transition uptil your very last day. Ask them for their feedback on you as well.

Leaving a current workplace is almost never easy. This can be especially difficult if you have a more personal relationship with your boss. Leaving someone that you enjoy having lunch with or joking with everyday can really feel like an emotional loss. One way to overcome this is to take a step back and examine what you are really leaving: your job. This job is not your entire life and should be treated as such. This does not mean that you need to leave the relationships you've made during your time at a specific job. Once you've made that distinction, the best way to leave a job is with a professional resignation letter in advance. If you want to maintain a relationship with a boss or coworker, you can tell them in a personal conversation along with the letter.

It's never really easy to tell these things. But in my experience, it's always better to be straight forward. Tell them why you are leaving. Help them understand the situation. They might be shocked, taken aback, maybe even angry. But just talking to them calmy will help make things so much better. Most of the times they are very supportive. Also, just a heads up some of them might try to convince you to stay back. But again if you tell them your reasons they will understand. Also, it'll be nice to mention how much you learned from where you worked. And how much you appreciate the help you received. All the best!

Let them know that you need to have a conversation and that you have no hard feelings, but you will be leaving your job as of (date). You can choose whether you want to say that you found another job, are advancing your career, etc. whatever the case may be or just a basic answer that you are needing to leave, but parting on amicable terms is also fine. It may still be difficult, even though you don't have hard feelings, your coworkers or boss may still show upset at learning you are going to be leaving. Keep this in mind, it's not your fault if they do.

It is a matter of telling your employer that you enjoyed working for them, appreciate the skills they taught you in your current job, but that you have outgrown the workspace and want to move forward in your career. Employers understand that some of the jobs they oversee are just stepping stones for people who need to make enough money to improve their education and financial standing. It is okay to grow, change and need more from your work - both intellectually and financially. The best thing you can do to make that break and gain closure is to review what you appreciated most about the job and what skills you will take with you as you move forward.

Personally, I would say "Hi boss, I am so sorry to disturb you, but unfortunately I have to make the right decision for myself and that is to leave." I would explain to them in a short matter what reasons compelled you to leave without getting too emotional and using any negative language as that can be taken as offensive. I have had to leave my job as well in the past, and my boss didn't appreciate it, but my tip would be to tell him or her as much advance notice as possible. Although I know it can be hard as you might fear that this will influence their treatment towards you, just tell them that you wanted too let them know in advance so that they can properly prepare. The worst thing for a boss is to have someone leave and be short of workers all of a sudden. I think as long as you show respect and thoughtfulness towards them, they will be understanding. Also, be confident when you speak! Good luck!

I would recommend talking to them privately, preferably face to face. Explain to them the reason that you will be leaving for and make sure it is understood that your decision is final and while you will be parting ways, you do appreciate the time that you spent and the things and experience that you've gathered during your collaboration. Make sure that they know you wish them all the best and success and you will think of your time there very fondly, but you are taking things a step further in your journey and sometimes it just means that you have to let go of certain circumstances, places and people.
