And as for thank you notes? Sometimes old school is the way to go. Since it’s “old school” as you say, it’s often appreciated more. It takes extra effort to select a card and write a heartfelt thank you note, rather then sending a quick email.

One great way to ruin everyone’s opinion of you is to slack off during your last weeks or months. A number of my colleagues, who were great 90% or more of their time here, ruined their reputation in the office by checking out before their last days.

Don’t burn your bridges, even the rickety ones. Even in the best work environments, some work relationships are less than satisfactory. However, don’t consider your departure to be an opportunity to “fix” whatever was broken. Work especially hard to leave the edgy relationships on a positive note, to bring closure to the projects that weren’t completely successful, and to clean up any smudges on your reputation.

The thank you notes is nice in theory but thank you notes are kind of old school and likely to wind up in the trash.

In case this happens, do not plan on using your notice period to prepare for your exit. Be prepared before you give your notice.

Also, just because you are being graceful and professional doesn’t mean everyone else will be. Your notice period may very well be a living hell, be prepared for that possibility. Do your best not to engage in those kind of games.

Colleague: “Huh? What’s with the note? You going somewhere?”

However, in reality many employers will not allow someone to work the remainder of the notice period and simply pay the person up to the resignation date. Also, no one should expect that the news will be taken well or that they will be treated well after resigning. It all depends on the employer and the circumstances.

Great advice! Many of my ex coworkers have become very good friends over the years.

If there is some sort of farewell party, then use the opportunity to thank people once again. I made a farewell speech in 2003 dedicated to the others that had helped me get started. And everyone remembers that because it was about them and our relationship, not about me.
