All over the world, many employees tend to quit their jobs in droves, but they may be doing it the wrong way and at the wrong time.

In a report published by the British newspaper "The Independent", writer Kate Ng reviews a list of the most important questions we should ask ourselves before resigning from our jobs, and how to do it right.

The writer states that the lifting of the closure restrictions led to an unprecedented mass exodus of employees who were forced to leave the jobs they occupied before the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, a phenomenon that some economic experts called the “great resignation.”

Over the past 18 months, people around the world have been forced to reconsider their lives from a different perspective, including what they do for a living.

The data shows that many of them are choosing to leave jobs they don't already like.

The writer shows that the number of vacancies reached an all-time high in July, and there were about one million vacancies in the UK for the first time, and a study by the human resources software company Persono found that 38% of employees intend to resign within the next six months. .

According to career coach Victoria MacLean, many people have left their jobs because their priorities have changed after the pandemic.

"We go to work to make money, but in reality there are a lot of ways to make money and people are realizing that now more than ever," she told The Independent.

"We want to feel fulfilled, we want to be challenged, we want to develop and thrive. When you thrive and you are happy in your work your life can really change and you feel happy in every part of it," she added.

The shift in priorities varies from person to person.

For some, the lockdown has allowed them to put their families ahead of work, while for others it has made life too short to stay in a job they don't like.

Whatever your reason for quitting or changing your job, MacLean highlights top tips for resigning the right way.

When do I know it's time to quit a job?

MacLean says there are 3 elements that come into play when thinking about what you should do in your career, and these include the company you work for, the position you hold and the sector you work in.

She explains that "you may be in the perfect company for you, but in the wrong place, or you may be in the right place but in the wrong sector, and this may make you want to quit."

She also notes that "it's good to know if you can have a productive professional conversation with someone in your company, about changing your job without having to resign, which you might find happier."

However, there are a number of questions you should ask yourself if you are considering resigning.

Do you feel you are thriving?

Do you feel the respect and self-confidence of managers and colleagues in the position you hold?

Is company culture good for you?

Are there opportunities for career advancement?

"If you're feeling miserable in your job, it's time to move on," McClain advises. "A toxic environment or just feeling like your company isn't treating you well is worth checking out."

As she puts it, if you feel overwhelmed because you have to work long hours, or if your boss is overburdening you with tasks, or if you just run out of energy throughout your workdays, these are all reasons to quit.

Determining the pros and cons of your job is the best way to determine whether your current job is right for you, MacLean said.

And with more people realizing how important it is to balance work and their private lives, now is the time to set your priorities.

Research shows that 75% of employees prefer a hybrid work model rather than working in the office full time, while remote job searches on job search sites have already increased by more than 500% since February 2020.

How do I resign?

If you're seriously considering leaving your job, MacLean recommends meeting with your manager or HR manager to talk about changes that can be made that might make you reconsider.

"It's okay to know your options before you quit," she said. "This is also a really great way to get a raise, as employers don't want to lose their employees, and they can often transfer you to another completely different job." Resignation, so do it on the right grounds.

"Once you decide to leave the job, don't procrastinate," MacLean adds. "Continuing to work even though you want to quit is very frustrating, so tell your boss as soon as possible and make sure they hear from you and not anyone else. Be honest with them, and don't throw Blame someone, and be polite in your resignation letter."

Another job offer

If you receive a job offer that you really want to take on, you should take your time to make sure that this is exactly what you want.

"Don't rush into your decision, check the final details, and make sure that's what you really want," MacLean explains. "Think about the job interview, did you ask for all the details? Do you have any questions left that aren't answered exactly the way you wanted? That would be a warning sign."

McLean advises not to be afraid of negotiating a salary, and making sure that the new job meets all of your wants and needs. "If not, don't take the job. Set the non-negotiable standards for your dream job and stick to them," she says.
