re: Proper Etiquette, leaving a job for a new one

quote:

---

Always be cordial and respectful. Leave as much notice as possible. If you can't leave notice as you need to take the new position immediately, then tell them the truth. If they can't accept that then you don't need to associate with those type people anyway.

This is how you do it.


Don't be too surprised if your boss/manager gets angry or acts like a dick even when you handle your side of the situation with class and consideration.
Often times this reaction stems from the fact that the employee has been doing a good job and now the manager is hit with the stress of finding an adequate replacement.
