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.
