How do you handle resigning from your job?

I have to resign today and for some reason I just hate doing it. I've only resigned once before but always feels a tad stressful.

How do you guys feel when resigning?

I can't post it from my phone, but there was a young lady who decided to film herself dancing round her bosses office as a resignation vid recently. Personally, I'd just go with the standard "I've loved working here but I feel the time has come for me to move on". Plus lots of I'll miss the team, & I've learnt so much blah blah format. Then skip out the door brandishing a glowing reference.

I always feel a bit nervous about resigning, even when I am sure I am doing the right thing (usually the case). Most of the time it has gone well, but a couple of the exit interviews were a bit awkward, because I gave them honest feedback about the reasons for my departure.

Hopefully you are leaving on good terms. Just get it over with and move on.

What is the cause of the stress? Like you don't wanna leave or you like your job too much? or you don't have a new job?

That's the beauty of at-will employment. No need to explain anything. Just do it.
