Quitting your job

When I do a resignation they always asking me to stay and some of the companies even doubled my salary for me to stay to them.

I normally don't plan for dramatic resignation coz in a recruitment agency setting, when we give our resignation letter in the morning, we are suppose to leave quietly by 5pm. The bosses will send a mass email out to everyone in the regional offices to let them know that we are gone after....well...we are gone! I distinctively remember one interesting time when we were about to get retrenched from a company many years back. The IT guy who was backing up the boss' email saw the email chain that the project team (exclude those not in our lunch group) would be released end of the month. Real reason for the retrenchment was because one of the ex-staff wanted to return to the company but the only condition for coming would be 5 of us go. She told the boss that she will train up a new team. And the reason why she was ask to go in the first place was because out of the entire work week, she only turn up 3 days and it was affecting the project. Anyway, to cut the story short, when IT told us that we had to be terminated on a certain date due to a witch coming back, we started planning for our grand exit. My programmer wrote a script that would unlink the entire database, we messed up the database discreetly and started clearing our drawers. We left what's on the desk untouched so that we won't create unnecessary attention. On that fateful day we were given our termination letter, the boss (I really have to give him best actor award) said that the business is not doing well and he can't afford to keep us. He told us to pack our stuffs and leave by 5pm. We wish each other well....went back to our seat, set up our out of office reply on our email that states "Dear customer, please note that I am retrenched from the company. For further information, please call Cxxx Shxxxxx at 6xxx xxxx directly". Just before we step out of the door, my programmer activated the code that messed up the database. And then went home to change before coming out to celebrate. Heard from ex-staff that they had to delete the whole database and redo, took them 3 months. And the witch? Well, she left 6 months after returning coz she couldn't take the stress. It was FUN!

I do not have plans yet as I am enjoying my work. I love my job in IT and my managers and my co-workers are like my family. Though sometimes I am really getting tired, I will probably resign once I have weighed everything.

If I resign, I don't think there would be much difference. Some of my teammates can do my work. I guess the disadvantage is that they would lose one support from the team. I am thinking of resigning but I can't say the reason directly to them. Because the compensation is low compared to quantity of work that I do. Should I tell them straight up the reason? The compensation is low and I need a better company.

If one have worked so hard in a certain company,of course other coworker will miss you or even asked you to stay.

it still depends on the performance, if you perform well at work, the company really miss you..but you're right coz a lot of good workers are everywhere and if you plan to resign they surely will hire others and of course will expect of getting someone better

True, everyone is just concerned about their salary, and their own work. If you resign, they will start to think about excuses not to accept part of your job. The boss will definitely divide your work among the reminding colleagues, and the division is not usually fair.

I don't plan to resign soon, but I'll definitely resign within the next 4 years. I'm working abroad and will have to go back to the U.S. in 5 years max. So I'll need to resign eventually. I don't know if my organization will miss me, but I sure hope they do. I work hard for them so hopefully they remember me for a while.
