Telling manager about serving notice period
Just got a decent offer, considering a switch. Not sure how to approach manager (also co-founder) with this news.
Context:
-
Org has no clear set of rules/policies, but I heard notice period is usually 1 month. My joining date is 1.5 months from now.
-
Team is in a chaotic state. 1-2 folks were fired, no replacements have been hired. 1 person is on a sabbatical. Worried manager won't take news positively.
-
Want to leave on good terms, this is my first job, so not really aware of how to have these conversations.
Dont think too much on this, if you think your manager isnt mature enough to handle 1 resignation then says alot about him as a person and leader. I wouldn’t want to work with him in future. But if he is a veteran and has seen people going then it wont impact your relationship with him. So no matter how say it, if he wants to take it personally its on him and if not then you are good.
PS - if there is a firing going on then do not give a moment of thought before switching if the offer is good. Its good to see you are thinking about the team but remember nobody is irreplaceable.
Do what u gotta do for ur career. You cannot keep good terms with everyone u meet in ur career or every company
