职场经验：如何辞职

Oooh, the things you have dreamed. The epic "I'm outta here!" speech..with a torch in your hand, standing on a desk in the middle of the room! The dramatic flipping of the bird in the face of the CEO...who is standing there in plaid golf shorts. Or, perhaps you grab beers from a drink cart, open the emergency exit and slide out, screaming "Later, dudes!" (That last one sort of actually happened. A jetBlue flight attendant literally abandoned ship in epic form...although, I don't think he screamed "Later, dudes!")哇，这是你梦想过的情景。华丽的“我不干了”的宣言，手里举着火把，站在屋子正中的桌子上！当面对CEO（首席执行官）竖中指……他就穿着格子纹的高尔夫短裤站着那儿。或者，你从饮料车里拿出啤酒，打开紧急通道出口，溜了出去，喊着：“回见了，伙计们！”（最后一条确有其事。一位美国捷蓝航空公司的空乘戏剧性地扔下了飞机……虽然他没有喊“回见了，伙计们！”)These are not awesome ways to leave. Ok. They are "awesome"...but not smart. You are not a movie star shooting a film. You are a person who has a long life of employment in front of you. Your co-workers, your vendors, your clients or partners, even your own friends and family will remember you as dramatic (and might respect you for standing your ground) but they won't remember much else besides that epic departure.这些不是辞职的好方法。好吧，他们挺“棒”的，但是并不明智。你不是在拍电影的明星。你以后还有很长一段时间的职业生涯。你的同事、销售商、顾客和合作伙伴，甚至是你自己的朋友和家人会认为你非常戏剧化（可能他们会因为你坚持自己的立场而尊敬你），但是他们除了这样夸张的辞职行为之外什么都不会记得。Fact: People take jobs because they believe in a place, an opportunity, a company. And, people leave jobs because they don't like the people/management.事实上，人们接受工作因为他们选择相信一个地方、相信机会和公司。而辞职是因为他们不喜欢那里的人或管理方式。Assuming you have tried to improve your situation and just can not survive another day...Here are some suggestions for leaving smart.假设你已经试过改善你的处境，但仍不能再忍受多呆一天。那么，这里是一些如何明智地辞职的方法：1. Breathe. Do 10 push ups. Sing "Sweet Home Alabama" really loud to yourself. Or find some other way to calm yo'self. Quitting in the heat of frustration is not an awesome way to go.1.深呼吸。做10个俯卧撑。大声唱一首“情归阿拉巴马”。或者找其他方式让自己冷静下来。由于一时冲动而辞职不是个明智的主意。2. Prepare. Back up your files, addressbook, anything else you will want to have (and may legally take with you). Figure out your healthcare (COBRA?), cash out vacation days, and any other benefits you might be entitled to. Know all of this before you quit. It's a lot harder to access this stuff from the outside.2.做好准备。备份你的文件夹、地址簿，任何你想要的东西（而且可以合法带走的）。算一算你的医疗保健（根据联邦统一综合预算协调法案？），把假期折现，还有其他你有权享有的补贴。在你辞职之前了解这些。一旦辞职，就很难再拿到这些东西。3. Think of 3 things you are grateful you learned/achieved in this job. You can almost always find 3 genuine things. Maybe you learned a new way to do something or tried something for the first time or learned something about yourself. Learnings lurk everywhere! (I learn something new everyday!) I spent part of a Summer working in the sliced meat department of a grocery store. Hated that job and the people there. But even in that hell, I learned things about myself, organizational behavior...and meat. Surely, you learned things in this job.3.想出在工作中学到/成功的3件事。你总能找到的。也许你学到了做事的新方法，或者是第一次尝试做了某事，又或者是进一步了解了自己。到处都能学习！（我每天都学一点新东西！）暑假期间，我花了一段时间在食品杂货店的肉类部门工作。我很讨厌这份工作和那里的人。但是即使在那样一个地狱中，我了解了我自己，学到了组织行为还有关于肉类的一些知识。当然，你在工作中一定学到了什么。4. Write a clear, kind resignation letter. (a) Kind?! Include those 3 things you learned. Be generous. I could find something genuinely kind to say about Cruella D'ville (great fashion sense?). Find something nice to say--without being fake. Frankly, the world would be a better place if we could all find something to appreciate in even the most hateful people and we noted it to them. (Yes. I believe mean bad people can be turned through kindness.) (b) Clear? Even if the job you are leaving is a manual labor position where you never touched a computer, handing in a formal resignation letter is a real ending. Make sure the letter is dated. Putting your resignation in writing protects you legally, gives you emotional closure, and can help you control spin/messaging.4.写一封清楚、友好的辞职信。（a）友好！列出你学到的3件事。大方一点。我可以说出库伊拉·德·威乐（101斑点狗中反派）的一些优点。（比如很有时尚触感？）找一些好的来说——用不着撒谎。事实上，如果我们都能在最让人讨厌的人身上找到一些优点，并且把这些优点告诉他们，这个世界会变得更加美好。（是的，我认为刻薄的坏人可以转变成和善的好人）（b）清楚！哪怕你要离开的工作只是体力劳动，你甚至没有碰过电脑。交上正式的辞职书就意味着一个真正的结束。确保辞职信上写上了日期。书面辞职信能合法保护你的权益，给你的感情画上句号，帮你传达信息。5. Give at least 3 weeks notice. You can do almost anything for 3 weeks. Be the first one at work and the last one to leave each day. Slay something in those 3 weeks--make it a real win. Leaving on a high note is the best way to make them miss you. Want that mean boss to feel bad? Make him sorry he lost you.5.提前3周通知。你在3周内什么都能做。每天第一个上班，最后一个离开。在这3周内收获一些东西——真正赢一把。高调离开是让每个人想念你的最好办法。想要刻薄的老板感到难过？就让他后悔他失去了你。6. Resist the desire to gloat. Posting something nasty on Facebook might make you feel good...for about 30 seconds, but that post will last a lifetime (and beyond). A job is like having a baby...you can get divorced but that baby daddy is connected to you forever. That boss and co-workers might be called as a reference or, if you remain in the same field, might become a vendor or competitor. Keep your words soft and sweet (and honest) because you might have to swallow them someday.6.不要幸灾乐祸。在Facebook上发布一些令人不快的话可能会让你心情好上30秒，但是那条状态会跟随你一生（甚至更久）。一份工作就像是一个宝宝……你可以离婚，但是宝宝的父亲会和你永远联系在一起。如果你继续在同一领域工作，原来的老板和同事可能成为你的介绍人、销售商或竞争对手。说话要温和亲切（而且诚恳），因为可能有天你会自食其果。7. Cleanse. Long run? Large beer? Vacation? "Winning" is making yourself feel better, not making your tormentor feel worse.7.净化。长跑？大罐啤酒？休假？“胜利”应该让你感觉更良好，而不是让折磨你的人感觉更糟糕。8. Read my prior piece on 5 things to do after you leave a job. Yes, even when you hate a job or former boss, it’s important not to burn a bridge.8.读一读我前5条关于辞职后的建议。哪怕你讨厌前一份工作或者前老板，也不要过河拆桥。
