How to quit your job without hurting your career
Following protocol
Schedule a time with your supervisor to break the news. Be aware that sharing the news with the office grapevine might cause the news to leak prematurely before you formally give notice.
It's best to have important conversations in person. Make sure you meet all exit notice, confidentiality, non-compete and other guidelines that are required.

Key Ideas
Your future-focused "why"
Your supervisor will probably ask you why you are leaving.
Make sure your reason for leaving is opportunity-focused and aspirational and not because you are running away from something. Reasons may be taking on a more prominent role, learning new skills, working in a new industry or relocation.
Weighting counteroffers
Research found that while 58% of employers extend counteroffers, the average employee who accepts them stays less than two years in a company.
Keep the focus on your new opportunities and suggest that you remain in touch and explore the chance to return at a future time.
Thorough and thoughtful
Your departure is likely going to affect more people than you realize. Try to make the move as easy on them as possible to maintain good relationships.
- Make sure all outstanding deliverables and responsibilities are effectively transitioned.
- Ensure all essential documents are available to those who need them most.
- Consider giving key people the license to call you for any vital follow-up questions.
Giving feedback
Refrain from mentioning all the things their company does wrong in your opinion. It will not be helpful, especially if you have not mentioned it previously.
It is also possible that your supervisor might be angry or resistant to your departure. Try and understand the situation from their point of view and act calmly to preserve relationships.
Maintaining your network
Trade contact information with coworkers and supervisors to have a method to stay in touch. You will be in a better place to stay abreast of their career changes. You never know when you will meet with them again.

You Dread Going to Work
While it’s normal to have qualms about the work day, if you truly, deeply dread those eight hours at the office, it is time to move on.
You’re Procrastinating
It’s Taking a Toll on Your Health
- Are your sick days adding up, out of the blue?
- Are you taking as much time off as you can possibly get?
- Are you resorting to a few (or many) glasses of wine each night to get over a bad day at work?
- Are you working so many hours you have no time to exercise, eat healthily or get enough sleep?

Key Ideas
All areas of your life are affected
When your job is affecting your mental and emotional health, so that anger and depression overwhelm you or bleed over into other areas of your life, it’s time to consider a change.
A toxic workplace
It can have a negative impact on your happiness and job performance.
Studies found that ostracism, bad leadership, harassment, and bullying have direct negative effects on job productivity. Also, being in a job you hate is worse for your health than being unemployed.
Not aligned with your values
If your job is not aligned with your values, you'll end up questioning the possibility of doing it for the next 15, 20, or 30 years.
The good part about it is the fact that this will point you in the right direction, where changes need to be made.
