Good luck and just remember that they wouldn’t hesitate the can you if it suited the business to do so.
For me, proactive. We pay at or above market typically but if we can’t offer something that’ll make you stay for some reason, you’ll be leaving with a glowing recommendation and a very good reputation in our circles. My field is a very small world and people have very long memories. Ultimately it’s really up to you and about the kind of person you want to be. I would never fault someone for wanting to improve their quality of life. I’ve tried to recruit people in the past who were interviewing different firms, and who’ve shared what was being offered by these other firms, only for me to tell them to take that job. 😂 funny enough … most have regretted it. Work takes such a big piece of your life, sometimes the people you work with matter more than that extra little bit more money.

You’re just selling hours of your life for money. Your manager might feel betrayed, but that’s them being a child. Good bosses are glad for you.
As someone who once hit my employer out of left field with notice and then received a counter offer (which surprised me), remember you are leaving for a reason.
I stayed because I am terrified of change and I, quite unsurprisingly, deeply regretted the decision within about 8 months and it took another year to find a new job once I started looking again.
Congratulations on this next chapter.
As the boss, I am simultaneously happy for my employees when they find something that works better for them, and sad when I lose them. It is possible to hold both feelings at the same time. Remember why you’re moving on, and look forward to it. Wishing you a very bright new start.
In person is best to maintain the relationship, followed by the formal written notice to all interested parties.
Expect that there is probably going to be some shock from the recipient, and possibly feelings of disappointment and even anger or betrayal. Focus on what you’ve learned from them and what you’ve appreciated about your time with them, and just say it was an opportunity that was too good to pass up (you don’t need to say why). Thank them for everything they did for you, and that you’ll work to make the transition of your matters as smooth as possible. Solicit advice on how they want you to transition things.
Flip the script. Savor the moment of respsectfully telling your old job/boss you're leaving. Drink it in. You'll feel amazing afterward. Enjoy that.
Six months from now you won't think of them, and they won't think of you.
Understood, but you have to do what is best for you and your family. For example, if they had feeling of remorse for having to let you go, they still would let you go.
I did this! I cried during my meeting with my boss lol. Turned into her consoling me and trying to get me to stay for an hour 🤣🤣
Respectfully, who cares what they think. You’re unhappy, and you’re choosing to better your life. If roles were reversed, they wouldn’t care about you. Seems like you’ll be leaving on good terms, so just keep it professional in the notice/meeting and continue your life being happy with your next chapter. Congrats on the new gig!
I know you’ve already given notice by now, but just here to say, it’s almost never as bad as you think it’s going to be, and you will feel SO light and relieved after everyone knows. Good luck in your next step!!
Feelings for and against the employer aside, you are doing what is best for you. You could have been truly happy at your current workplace, but it’s also possible you want something better for you. Many people have different situations and needs and change jobs for various reasons. Just remember you had a good run with your current workplace and wish them the best, and they’ll likely do the same for you.
Also don’t forget you were there for them and did your part and leaving for another opportunity is not letting them down. I always try to leave my position with a good transition memo to set the next person up for success. You are doing great and the next adventure will be good for you!
It’s not going to matter in two weeks. You’re leaving for a reason. Good luck! ~SAJ
I left a job I was at for five years and I put it in an email so that the boss would have time to process it before I saw him the next day at work. I found that to be easier because at least it didn’t shock him and he didn’t react in a bad way. He had already had his bad reaction and was able to check himself when he saw me in person so I liked that approach it worked for me.
