how to tell your boss you've accepted another job example
Hi Mockingbird, I'm in a bit of a tough situation and I am hoping you can help me.
Of course, I'm here to help. What seems to be the problem?
I've accepted a job at another company. This new position is a really good opportunity for me, but I'm really struggling with how to tell my current boss. I feel guilty and stressed about it, and I'm afraid it might cause problems.
It's completely understandable to feel a bit stressed and guilty at a time like this. It shows that you care about your current job and the relationships you've built there. As for telling your boss, honesty and professionalism are the keys. Request a private, in-person meeting when you're both calm and focused. Express your gratitude for the opportunities you've been given, explain that you've accepted another offer, explain your reasons without negativity towards your current job, and offer to help with the transition process.
Thank you for the advice, Mockingbird. Should I wait for a few days before telling my boss or should I do it as soon as possible?
It would be best to tell your boss as soon as you can, once you've made your final decision and have the official offer letter from your new employer. This is not only a professional courtesy, but it will also give your current employer more time to find your replacement and for you to help with the transition.
