Try to leave showing professionalism, yes. But there are always exceptions. Every case is different
and calls for different actions. I had to leave a job I had been with for a rather long time with very little notice in order to take advantage of a wonderful opportunity. My old company was undergoing lots
of changes, not all for the better. So I was leaving a negative place for a positive place. And, I had to
burn bridges. Hard decision, but I made the correct one.

I love the positive energy, I hope that next time someone offends me: I will learn from the situation and not hold onto judgements of me. I have had a habit of taking comments to heart and that had hurt me in the past. The reult I stopped being positive and outgoing! I regret telling my co-workers because I looked like the one with an attitude. I let that frusturation build up and I let go by sending an e mail stating what this person has done and said to me. The hard part this person denied ever sayin these things to me! I smile and I stay to myself and now I am cautious because I was hurt. I continue to strive to be as spiritual as I can. I am involved with postive outlooks for my community. It is unfortunate that I have to see this person everyday and how that person has lied and direspected me, I continue and I don't give in to this persons negative comments. I have learned it takes a great leader to walk with pride and be humble to continue that positive walk. Now that I am focused and not so side tracked, I got to be careful who I share my ideas with and let people see me and not the judgements and assumptions of me, I am grateful for prayer and that I am a natural born leader and inspirational person. I humbled by this person and it was a rude awakening. I pray that I don't ever have to experience this again:) I am here in life to inspire and get people to see there leadership in themselves. I love and respect me today. Lessons in life I wish I had more control over and not give away power to others. This is my downfall. I am determined to not let that power go from me in a negative way again.
I am grateful for the suggestions I will say a thank you note to those who saw my positive side to me, I will feel better about this once I get that done.Thank you

i had three jobs where i had to quit, but i gave them my resignation except for one job. i just quit, he denied my unemployement and giving me bad references. it doesn't look right on my applications with several jobs asking why did i leave and all i put is quit and to me it doesn't look right. reason for resignations were one the manager refused my request for a few days off. i had requested months in advance, then within weeks he refused request so i quit. second the other job lost my vacation hours and the same thing denied vacation. now how do i explain to the interviewer. without explaining all the mambo jumbo??

I wish all employees would have read this article, so insightful!

Great advice. It better to leave a good impression then a bad one.

Absolutely! Anuradha, you are a great model of your own advice!

Great advice, Anuradha! This is always good form, but especially in a volatile job market where your new job could just as quickly become your old job.
