Resign Dammit!! Vol. 2
They'll never knowOne of the most fun/happy/hilarious moments about corporate resignation is the event more popularly known as the Exit Interview. What I am about to tell you people are just my conclusions from general stories told to me.
Honestly, I am wondering why companies bother to have this interview. It's probably a company's last ditch effort to gain information from you. Well here's the thing -- whatever you share with them at this time -- is at your own discretion. You are not obligated in anyway to be honest with them. They ask you questions like "Where are you going?", "Why are you leaving?"
IT IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS
Being the professional that you are, you give them your notice of resignation, and that's that.
Now when you resign with second thoughts, you are simply putting yourself into unwanted shit and stress. So when you do decide to drop the ball on your company, it should never dwell on you that they are in a position to threaten you ever, because no matter what happens YOU WANT OUT.
If the company is a nice company, the only legit reason for resigning would be career growth or moving/family reasons. Other than that, it's just plain simple -- you're not happy (anymore).
And when asked the question "why are you leaving?" -- like duh, of course there's something wrong with the company or something you didn't like about them. But the thing is, you have to make a graceful exit, so you make reasons. ANY reason is fine. I'm sure HR managers know that 98% of people's replies during exit interviews are BS.
So if you look at it all from a third person point of view, it's really all a farce. Obviously, there's something that's unacceptable about the company for you; the company knows it, but asks you anyway, which they'll never know -- during an exit interview.
