Buh-Bye – It’s time to go • Say something positive about the job. “I’ve learned a great deal here.” • Explain why you are leaving. “I need to grow professionally.” • Give the boss options to make the transition easy. “I can wait until the trial is over.” • Suggest future relations. “I’ll keep you updated.” • Thank your boss personally. “Thanks for all your time. I learned a lot here.” Leave without burning bridges.
