i am leaving my boss tomorrow, what would i say?

I think first you have to decide that whether u want to stay in this office anymore or not even if you will get whatever you want. and I think changing job is not a shame, you should not hide the face for this.

I don't know why you are leaving your current job - whether its for personal or career reasons - and its no-one's business but yours anyway. But there are a few things I would recommend you try to do and remember when you leave. 1. Whatever the reason for your leaving, thank your boss for taking you on in the first place and try to keep the seperation amicable and as pleasant an experience for both of you as possible. If your leaving ISN't due to him directly, tell him so! Bosses are just people like you and me and believe it or not, they have feelings too! Also, if you think you CAN reconcile things then TALK TO HIM about it, tell him what you need/would like. Never mind losing face - we all do from time to time and it isn't such a big deal! 2. Remember that you may one day wish to work with or for this person again or for someone who he knows and respects, so don't leave 'under a cloud'. In other words, as in 1 above, make the parting as amicable as possible. 3. Don't 'rubbish' your old boss to your new one! Your new boss will likely wonder what you're likely to say about him one day, should you choose to move on again. 4. Don't speak ill of your old boss to work colleagues or anyone you come into contact with in your professional life. News travels fast as they say and it may well be that your old boss will getto hear what you've been saying. Slander and libel are both serious offences! 5. Only YOU can decide if this move is really what you want/need. So sit down quietly, put some relaxing music on the hi-fi, close your eyes and think back over the time you've worked for this guy. Remember the good and the not-so-good and weigh up in your mind which one outweighs the other. 6. Make sure any decisions you make are for the right reasons! Remember, its YOUR life and its YOUR future - you owe it to yourself to do the best you can! I hope this helps - and good luck. :-)

I have the same problem. However, we have a different boss. I don't have a good relationship with my boss but it's not also bad. I am leaving in a month and I am still drafting the things that I want to tell him.

As I understand your problem,you are leaving this boss, only to join a new one.Definitely you would be joining a better job for which your old job and the boss are also responsible in one way.So, you must thank old boss profusely for making you find a better opportunity and also better future.I think that's enough.

sometimes, that's the usual repertoire of people who throw other people into the gutter with how they treat them... i don't think your boss means what he said... so just say goodby and give yourself a pat in the back for making a good riddance...

it would probably good for you to say your gratitude.. and don't forget to say..KEEP IN TOUCH...hehe

Be honest and direct to the point. I think your boss will surely understand if you tell him/her the truth why you are leaving. If your decision is final and that your happy with it then go for it.

Tell your boss the truth, why you're leaving, etc. The truth shall set you free. If you didn't like something at the company, thats why you're leaving, tell him that. He will in turn thank you for being truthful. I don't think change your mind and staying will be a good idea anymore, of course unless they offer to increase your salary and benefits.

lol you got the guts what he wants is a firm face to face speech nothing is more positive than that say what u feel in front of his face that's it end good luck for ur new job

just finalized you decision and hear what you have in your mind. You need to think more where you should most comfortable, where you are most happy. Happy thinking...

even if you have problems with your boss, say thank you for accepting you and teaching you things.

This exactly refers to resignation. A resignation must involve an accepted irrevocable resignation wherein you're boss will no longer call or ask you to change your mind. In this case, it seems like things are not yet fixed between you and him. The mere fact that you are asking for advice here from MyLotters, is maybe because you're still undecided to leave. Sometimes, we owe a lot to our bosses and leaving is the hardest thing to do. But if you really need to leave your boss, just be firm, and say goodbye, don't give hopes and don't forget to say THANK YOU AND MORE POWER.

Let your boss know why you are really leaving. Don't leave him in the dark not knowing why you are resigning. If you can be honest with him and let him know why you are leaving, then do it. Leave with grace, just like what they would say.

apoligize in a nice way and say i love working with u and enjoyed and be very honest in the reason why u are leaving best of luck

here where i live in canada, you have to give two weeks notice if you are planning to leave your job. in your case i would just tell him the truth (in a nice way though).

kumar if it were me, I would be pleasant b ut firm, thank him but say I have learned while here, but we had our differences, and it has shown me a better place for me. Thanks, and good bye. I mean after all he does know you and he did have differences, and he knows you mean what you say, so why draw it out or cry on his shoulder. he has in a way made it possible for you to move up.But you do not owe him any crawling or any forgive mes. He made it hard for you and I would not forget that for a moment.

things you have to sort first before making your final decision: 1. are you absolutely sure that you want to leave? set aside your ego, can you afford to lose your job? 2. if work problems are the reason for you leaving, can there be compromise just for you to stay? 3. if you resign, would you be regretting it afterwards? let's be practical, snagging a job is really quite difficult nowadays. if you are earning alright,that might be a good reason for you to reconsider staying. however, if you see that there is a better opportunity with better work condition, then it's time for you to transfer. now, what shall you tell your boss...hmmm...please do not forget to thank your boss, despite the bad moments your had working with him. a little gratitude for being his staff, he deserves to hear it from you. you can also state to him the reasons why you are leaving so that he is aware about your whole situation. he has to know the other things that he might not know because bosses have other and bigger things to think of than office life situations. you may suggest also things that you think will improve the relationships with the people you are leaving. make your boss understand and know your other co-employees. good luck on your talk. =)
