When to resign?
I briefly mentioned it in the WDYFLSRN? (haha), but my husband got a job in Colorado and we will be moving in June.
I have not resigned yet because that is still far away. I plan on working til mid-June, but I'd love to hear opinions on when the best time to resign would be. I'd like to give them more than 2 weeks for a few reasons:
1) I will be taking off lots of time at the end of April and end of May to apartment shop and then move out. I know time off is none of their business, but I work in a very friendly casual environment and I know people will ask why the long breaks. And I'm not good at lying.
2) I'm so nervous about spilling the beans on accident. It's almost happened several times (i.e. today a co-worker was talking about rents and I almost blurted out "that reminds me, I need to give my landlord notice")
3) I do feel like my job is safe if I tell them a few weeks more than 2--I know they're not going to find a replacement immediately and I predict that they'd be happy if I can stay on to train the new me for about a week or so.
4) I feel like current co-workers might even be helpful in getting me contacts for a job out there. The reason I say this is because the person who's job I took moved out of the country and before she left, she had some help from our team to get her in touch with contacts in that country.
5) I don't want them to put me on any new business which might be coming down the road soon. I feel as thought it would be wrong for me to begin building rapport with clients if I'm just going to leave. If they don't know I'm moving, it would look really bad for me to say, "no I don't want to/can't work on this".
So what are you thoughts? I'm planning on asked old co-workers who are no longer at my company anymore their opinions as well.
