AskABoss: 'It’s strangely common for managers to react badly to resignations. It’s not normal, but it happens a lot more than it should,' says AskAManager
For the past seven years, I’ve worked for a small marketing agency with five full-time employees and two partners who own the businesses. It looks like I’ll be receiving an offer for a new position with a different agency soon, working on projects that I’m excited about with a substantial pay increase and benefits. While I wait for the paperwork to go through, I’m thinking about how I’ll transition from one workplace to another.
It’s bewildering, considering they’re typically very even tempered toward all other aspects of running their business. I don’t believe it has anything to do with favoritism, gender, or seniority — their reactions genuinely seem to be random but always at one end of the emotional spectrum or the other.
It’s strangely common for managers to react badly to resignations. It’s not normal, but it happens a lot more than it should. I regularly hear from people whose bosses reacted to their resignation as if it were a personal betrayal — more of a breakup than a business decision — sometimes even refusing to speak to the employee during their final weeks on the job.
If not, you’ll need to prepare for both. The excessive love-bombing is, obviously, easier to deal with. Let them extol your virtues for two weeks, agree it’s sad to be parting, take your commemorative photo collage, and go on your way. Keep in mind, too, that asserting yourself in that way wouldn’t need to mean dramatically storming out of the office. For example, if you’re being berated in a meeting, you can say calmly, “We see this really differently, and I don’t think it’s constructive to dwell on this. I have a lot that I want to finish up before I leave, so I’m going to leave this meeting and work on putting my projects in order.
