Do you just ignore everything after you tender resignation letter?

What happen when everything didn't go as plan and we are frustrated? We look for another job and tender resignation. So, what do you do after you've sent that white, nicely folded letter to your boss?

Most of us just come to office to fulfill the notice requirements and wait till the last day when we say sayonara. It's very common that once we tender our resignation letter, a few of us tend to start spilling out information we kept all this while and start gossiping about how bad this company is and how the company or the boss or the management has not value our capabilities and our work.

This is definitely not a good way to part with the company. We come nicely, we should go nicely or the best we can. I believe we leave a company when we no longer happy working there but this should not be the reason to ignore our jobs and be in-deferent. Sometimes the world is really very small and you'll bump to each other or most likely to bump into someone who knows you in your new company. A bad reference will affect or destroy your reputations. To build a reputation and your career is not easy. It takes years. To kill your reputation take minutes.

No matter how bad the company treated us, we should do our best to handover and serve my notice gracefully...hehehe.

You will probably ask this. What if my boss or the management treat me hostile during my notice period? Well, this will be their reputation too. What goes around, comes around. I believe in poetic justice. So, don't let others manipulate our career reputation. Take charge and end your service with your company with dignity, pride and proud of it!
