When you resign, keep your conversations simple and concise. Avoid lengthily discussion about your new opportunity with your old employer. Do not justify your personal goals or your decision to leave. If you feel you may be faced with a hostile environment, resign at the end of the day. The Oral Resignation Resigning orally may place you in the compromising position of having to explain your decision on the spot.
Words are very powerful.
Choose your words with care. Your boss may want to probe for factors which led to your decision. You may be asked who or what is the reason for your leaving, or may be invited to offer suggestions to help make the organization more effective. Remember, your interrogator is still your boss. Whatever you say, will be viewed as biased - and may eventually be used against you.
