job-quitting protocol

[massofcatfan]

Tell them you're getting out before the feds show up.

thanks for all the input. so far I am liking this advice best 

[CNS]

what did they actually say when you asked for a raise?

that I am fantastic and if I stick around and work hard maybe at some mystery date in the future good things will happen

They really think you are a sucker.  I mean, if they didn't at least tell you that they would love to give you a raise, but it just isn't in the budget right now then they don't think you are going anywhere.

i mean I'd probably tell you the same thing if you just randomly said hey guys would you like to pay me more.

do they know you are frustrated and thinking about leaving? Do you really want to leave or are you just frustrated that they didn't seem to take your request seriously? will it be easy for you to find a job doing the same thing somewhere else? Are you currently paid fairly? What do you do? Where do you live? I have so many questions.

Wow, that's a lot to think about. I didn't just randomly say "a raise would be nice" but I also didn't say "pay me or I quit and burn you to the ground"

[massofcatfan]

Are you going to find another job first? If so, you can tell them that you found somewhere that you think will give you better opportunities.

a) this would probably be very wise
b) no

[meow meow]

definitely find another job before you quit this one, that should go without saying but here i am saying it

[michigancat]

How did you ask for a raise? Do you produce revenue that justifies a raise? Are other people in the company receiving raises? Are you underpaid relative to competitors in your region and industry?

[Mrs. Gooch]

I would assume that any sane person would find another job first, but I have seen some situations where this did not occur.

[Emo EMAW]

At my annual reviews and career development things, I specifically ask my manager to list the things I must do to get x raise.  Then in a year, when I have done those things, it's pretty clear.  And then you either get the raise or the they give you the CNS sucker line.

[Kat Kid]

If I ever have to leave my employer, I will probably post a long, rambling explanation on the front page of goEMAW and then call into 1350 The Game and the 91.9 sports show to explain myself.

After you've thought about it all, post the answers.

I know several who do not. I shake my head.

Most of the folks with whom I work have at least a BA or BS, and several have Masters degrees.  A few of these fall into that category.  Some of my friends that fit in this situation are high school grads. 

[pissclams]

never quit an existing job w/o another job waiting on you

10th grade clams once quit a job at wal-mart shoe dept, reason i listed for leaving on their exit paperwork was "i'm cashed"
the manager, patrick, didn't understand.  i was like, this job sucks man.

It's perfectly acceptable to leave without a job if you can afford it. My work has had a ton of people doing that lately.

Side note, today's my last day at the current job, and I'm going to use a mixture of honesty and goodwill at my exit interview. :-)

I should make up witty disparaging nicknames for all the people I work with and use them over and over

[star seed 7]

The longer the better, minimum of 5 words each

The longer the better, minimum of 5 words each

That might become difficult to remember, depending on the number of people he works with.
