Choose a popular restaurant in close proximity to either a police station, fire station, or hospital. A crowded restaurant will minimize your chances of a scene. Take note of all entrances and exits. Ideally, you will want to sit near the door should you need to escape. Once you sit down pour a tall glass of water and clear your forehead of perspiration. Order your meal. Insist on ordering theirs. Enjoy your meal. Pepper in some witty banter. Laugh and toss your hair around a bit. This should lighten the mood. Once the check arrives allow them to pay. Say thanks then quickly break the news. Finish the water you ordered and hastily make an exit. Walk briskly to your car. Laugh and toss your hair about so you can sneak a look or two to ensure you are not being followed. Drive until you reach your new job. You’ve done it!

Set up time and tell them. It’s simple and should be little to no drama. You’re not the first or last.

They may try and counter.

The manager will tell the team when they are ready.

But also never accept a counter offer. Just don’t

Thank you for the article!

If you want a counter, frame it as you’ve been offered an opportunity which is intriguing because of XYZ. If you’re accepting regardless and a counter wouldn’t change anything, frame it as you’ve accepted another role and would like your last day to be Y

I’ve accepted the counter offer a couple times, it’s totally fine. The “don’t accept counter offer” stuff is not really based in data.

It has a lot of good reminders. Good luck!

Yeah all these people who say don’t accept a counter have just read too many LinkedIn articles, and are not basing it on reality.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
