How NOT to Leave Your Job ~ 10 Tips :)

1. Don't text your resignation. Lets compare this to being broken up with via post-it note. Just sayin'.

2. Don't leave a voice mail directing your (former) boss where your stuff is including your keys to the building.

3. Don't resign at 5 p.m. on a Friday when your boss is out of town or on vacation.

4. Don't solicit business away from your existing company while you are packing your office to leave. Have the courtesy not to do that while you are still on their payroll.

5. Don't send out last hurrah e-mails to all of your fellow employees on how awesome you are and how much they will miss you.

6. Don't leave a lot of unanswered questions, unaddressed issues, etc. Clean up your mess(es).

7. Don't schedule your media blitz for your new job before you are out of the door from the old job.

8. Don't blow up your previous job, title, responsibilities...you will be found out.

9. Don't gloat.

10. Last, but not least, don't give the finger (verbally) to your old boss no matter how much they deserve it (in your mind). This is certainly not a comprehensive list, but rather a sampling of things you should not do. The biggest thing to remember is how would you like to be treated...how would you like to be remembered....when the shoe is on the other foot?? You will be so glad you did. Trust me on this.
