How should we turn gracefully?

This is a known problem: how to leave gracefully

Yoyo's answer:

This is an interesting question, so to speak about the elegant departure I have seen and experienced the first sight and reflection. Most of them are from Internet companies in Silicon Valley, the United States.

1, a cute leavers

You gotta be a people lover.

H moved from Yahoo to Intuit, where he was Yahoo's development manager. On the day of his departure, I remember everyone organizing a party spontaneously on the corporate terrace. At that time, H stood on a chair and drank a glass to share with everyone about the feelings and gratitude they had for many years. We all express our sincere wishes and dismay.

At that time my boss severely drank a big beers, said to me:

"Look, this is a cute guy."

It takes a lot of grace to leave. You have to do a lot of points. First of all, it is worthwhile, everyone appreciates you. Second, you have to exchange. Everyone likes you. You have to be helpful. Everybody is grateful to you. Lastly, when you leave, anticipate, arrange your work and your own team, and everyone wishes you all the best.

I seriously thought about H why so elegant to leave. I also hope I did a little bit of each point when I left Tencent. :)

2, in good faith

Stay true to friends.

It is true that it is impossible to predict early departure, and it can not be carried out with great fanfare, but for a friend, you must be sincere.

Friends at work are precious. They support you at work, they are friends outside work, and you are your forever partner in the industry. Do not lose these friendships because of your career change.

Before leaving, talk to my colleagues in good faith. Do not polite, do not hypocrisy. Thank you for your sincere thanks, the comments made a real opinion.

If time is tight, you will not have the chance to meet your friends. Please apologize and thank you for updating your contact information and keeping in touch.

No matter where you work, keep your sincerity, friends in the small circle of industry and you keep watch with each other.

With a sincere friendship of work to leave, super elegant.

3, a plan, responsible

You can not leave a mess there.

If you can not go, do not care, or just let go before you go. This is a taboo, but also a novice often make mistakes.

You are a valuable gear for the company, your departure has brought losses to the company and the team, and you have to be on the last post.

Really, you do not miss the last few weeks. You stand the last group of posts, and then put two weeks leave yourself, win win.

Tell yourself an example. In 2011, I would like to return home when I was working at ATT in the United States. At that time mainly to do mobile App, ios version first, android version google the first to break 10 million, I think the node can be peace of mind over.

So I told my superiors that I want to return to work, leaving about three weeks later. At this time, just a company has a new project, want to shop products to the decline of the blackberry platform, I hope I do. The reason is: this series of product design are all I do, all user experience experience in me here, Los Angeles, the product team also listen to me, and this product to hurry.

In fact, to be honest, this project is of little significance to me. We all know the decline of Blackberry, the product is unlikely to Dacheng, just a strategic consideration for the company. In the early blackberry is also hot, I have done a lot of blackberry products have sufficient experience, do not need to learn accumulated. At that time, I was going to prepare for returning to China with more kinds of things. Colleagues are very understanding I can not do this project.

At that time in the first character point of view, I took this task, and promised to finish within three weeks. The next really busy than before, because to sort out a new product ideas, and then design and development. In the end I did, and on the penultimate day before departure I confirmed all the programs and executed them. Remember the day walking, my colleagues around me, Los Angeles team on the phone. I remember that product manager Big Brother's words are very clear, very touched:

I do not really have to say this, and I know everybody wants to say this. Yoyo, thanks for all your brilliant design work, and really honor to work with you. Especially the last project, we really love your work and your spirit And dude, full respect ...

I think this is an elegant departure. :)

Then talk about the plan responsible.

The general idea of ​​leaving after the confirmation, I will do so:

First of all, to inform superiors, let him know my reasons and conclusions, which is the basic polite career and respect.

Then, deal with the relevant HR processes, with the big team's interests as the most important.

Then, tell your own team, tell every one of my staff this decision, and communicate in good faith. And promised to arrange for them before leaving.

Again, I was informed of my previous superiors, especially the leaders who brought me into this company, thanked them for this wonderful opportunity for me to grow and progress and to inform myself about my next plan and my own considerations.

At the same time, contact colleagues and friends, one by one about chatting alone. Express your gratitude, express your cooperation, and answer their curious questions.

Must do, take care of every project now, to minimize the impact of their departure.

Take care of everyone, to their own superiors, to arrange the team's development, the status quo, the manager of the backup and other issues; to their own subordinates, should be one by one to take care of their follow-up work and career development prospects, sincerely give advice, And this time, I will not fully consider them emotionally and truly give their career development problems, hoping to fully expose the problems before they go.

Then is a slow chat, coffee time, dinner and so on.

Then quietly leave, a sincere and brief email, so Castle Peak often, green water flow.

I feel the departure is to reflect the professional accomplishment of a worker. If you handle all the details carefully and responsibly, you will be well rewarded. Everyone who worked before will quit his job. They will enter all the major Internet companies in the United States, such as Google, Linkedin, Facebook, Apple, Intuit and so on. It is good that your friends are all around the world to enhance your vision and career circle.

Your former superiors or colleagues came to see you, hope you go back or go to their new company office, though often can not be, but that respect, recognition and friendship will make you warm.

Write here, I hope for everyone's help. You need to be cautious about leaving, but if you really have this decision, please cherish everything and concentrate on new opportunities.

Attached: thinking about changing jobs

Knows the question: When to change jobs?

Yoyo's Q & A:

In the United States changed a few times to work from the United States to domestic once, changed jobs in the country.

Personally think there are several basic points to change for work to consider:

1, not for a small money

Do not ever ever go for small money.

The most uneconomical way is to go from the existing good platform to the same platform or a smaller platform for the same job, just for a small increase in revenue. Everyone's definition of gain is not the same, do not say the numbers. But be sure to think well, what are your chances of losing your current platform, carefully considering the opportunity cost and making a decision?

Maybe you are now for small jobs, the loss of income, in the long run will be very large.

2, depression is a good thing

Embrace the problems!

A person's career is not long, especially in science and technology industry, glowing fever shorter time, we must cherish every opportunity. Everyone can get frustrated when he or she is working. For example, he or she likes and reuses other people. For example, the partner can not understand you. For example, your working methods and methods are not suitable for the current working environment.

None of these frustrations is a reason to change jobs.

Instead, these frustrations are good things that most accurately reflect your current weakness. Accurately locate the problem, think carefully, and then solve the problem to see results. These are the best opportunities to experience you.

To be fair, you have your own responsibilities and shortcomings for the cruel reasons why you are cruel and you can list all your work. Do not evade the problem. If you escape this time, change to other companies, a great chance of such a problem will happen again.

Where to fall Where to stand up, to change stronger.

3, value their own value, understand their own prices

Always test your market value.

Value is your comprehensive professional level, including your professional skills, industry vision, communication skills, workplace contacts, management methods. Everyone's career value is created spontaneously, and their strong correlation, and should always remember that your professional value needs to be improved.

The failure to maintain or maintain the standard of occupational values ​​will not be retreated, especially in the current fiercely competitive workplace.

Price is an objective reflection of your value. This can fluctuate. For example, if the industry is in desperate need of your job right now, or the recent economic situation is particularly good, your price will get higher. As a stable job worker, you need to fully understand your price, so as to help you judge when changing jobs, is not it worth it.

Remove entrepreneurial people, most of the workplace can be understood as a commodity, that is the meaning.

4, high jump

Be confident enough to change.

The best case scenario is that you excel on your existing platform, top 5%, doing well and getting everyone's approval. This time you choose the other opportunities is the best time. Because at this time your professional skills, mental state, confidence are high, you can face all the challenges of new work.

From the new opportunity to see you most valued, but now you can not work things.

From the perspective of the new company empathy, others also want to find a good person, not a difficult person in the current company.

Prepare yourself and stay good, is the premise of high jump.

High jump than low jump or ordinary state jump, you get the chance and the reward is far greater than.

5, the courage to face challenges

Step out of your comfort zone.

Actually I would say, Run out of your comfort zone.

This is the hardest and harder it is. Jump out of your comfort zone.

When you get basic satisfaction in a job: good income, respectable positions, endorsement of superior level subordinates, stable team, comfortable work life balance, etc. You can hardly go out.

Everyone has ambition, but not everyone has the ability to execute.

In the rational thinking accompanied, there are good opportunities, you objectively identified as a chance to move, but you are timid. You are afraid to lose the present return, you are afraid to be more busy every day, you are afraid of the new team, others do not trust you, you are afraid of the new company is not stable ......

In fact, these are the reasons, because you are too comfortable.

If you are not an old-age, but also want to go further in your career, you need the courage to face challenges.

Risks and opportunities co-exist.

The more you walk along the career path, the more you find it harder to have a new job from each latitude than the current job.

Be vigilant in peacetime, always thinking about their own comfort zone is not good for you.

6, the family is very important

Family is the most important thing in your life.

Each occupation change, will affect your entire family. Parents, spouses are the most important part of your life. Ask more of them, respect them and think carefully.

I have the courage to go forward every time I change jobs with the consent of my parents and my wife. I do not think this is cowardice or incompetence. I think this is a responsibility and a sweet responsibility everyone should shoulder.

Eloquent wrote some, I hope for everyone to help. :)

thanks,

yoyo
