Workplace Communication Skills: How to Tell Your Boss You're Quitting - Role play #2

[unapologetically_philly-]

I used to work for a manager from Seattle in the lab logistics industry, who is really toxic ( bullying employees, putting employees down in front of co-workers, micro-managing, etc ) and attempts to notify his superior, as well as H.R. proved worthless, ) and as a result, nobody respects the guy, or wants to work for him, and we kept losing employees. We had a really good supervisor who transferred up here to Seattle from Portland, OR, and he was a large reason why this guy quit, too. I heard this employer recently merged with a couple of other logistics companies down in Oregon, and I feel sorry for those who will be exposed to this.

A lot of great pointers you brought up. Sad when a toxic manager can ruin so many prosperous careers.

I am two weeks from giving my notice from an IT job that I LOVE but a pair of bosses that are extremely TOXIC, a husband and wife that are new to management. They started out our first staff meeting five months ago with the "everyone is replaceable" speech. As a result our original team of eight is now down to just three. For some reason they don't understand why great people are quitting.
Knowing that I don't have to disclose my new employer helps reduce the stress level. And practice, practice, practice will help. I really want to leave on good terms but I know these two people are going to be brutal.
Thanks, one of the best resign videos I have watched!

Excellent! And still relevant— just a year ago had most of these comebacks said to me when I resigned a toxic supervisor.

I’m about to talk to my boss tomorrow cuz I finally got an offer. A lot of team members quit so I can’t imagine how he’ll react (he’s very needy and asks me to do all his work). Can’t wait to get out of my toxic work environment

one and only - the most helpfull video out there... others are just repeathing "be grateful, be kind, thank them, do your best in the last days" - we know all that, what we didn't know was how exactly to tell this. Thank you sir!
Edit: truly, this is the only helpful video out here on youtube.

Hmmmm! 19 years with employer....no raise or bonus in going to just email my letter 😁😁

[nitraale]

This is excellent! 🔥 I am about to go into this conversation and I have a feeling it will go exactly the way you showed, so I thank you both for doing this role-playing, instead of giving general advice like everyone else: "be professional, blah blah blah" 😊 Thank you!

This is really an awesome demontration and explanation of a very critical work life conversation.

[C.H.Design]

[GloryGlit]

[AerialVariable]

That was great! I wish I would've seen this a few hours ago before I had my resignation meeting because they reacted much in the same way. Lol.

[TonyZmex]

good video. you both are super smart guys, thank you for sharing your experience

[allindafac]

Wow this was my exact situation with the non compete any everything THANK YOU 🙏

[neondiamondsaquaberry]

Nope, just an email will do. Making claims such as “ I read the non compete and I am not in violation” is just setting you up for legal issues. Avoid any discussion about where you’ll be going or any details, this again just sets you up for something to be used against you. Also, politely decline any sort of exit interview with HR, and do NOT sign any “release” paper work either. Usually these papers will void any kind of legal claim you can pursue against your employer for any reason.

See this is where I would have to calm down the ghetto in me. I'd be like none of you damn business didn't you hear me I quit!

[immcguyver]

I say <nane>, I got something very funny to tell you. Well here are my notes and a list of things to get <name of best fill in> up to speed over the next 2 weeks...

"I understand that, but I've made my decision and am giving you my notice."

[swapnilshingote]

Hello Sir, can we opt out of revealing the information of having the offer in hand .

[lisalee]

I will be gracious in my exit...but before the email taking my sick days/vacation days 😁😁😁
