How to tell your boss you're quitting?

By Zippia Team - Feb. 1, 2023

You should first make sure that you do not have contractual obligations to stay in your position, and then if you are in the clear, you can put something in writing and discuss it with your boss to quit.

Often, you should come prepared to talk to your boss about quitting. This preparation could include a two weeks notice. When you give your two weeks' notice to your boss, you should have a plan of how you want to discuss this with them. Be sure to be clear and concise. Make sure you have a clear end date.

Often, it is a good idea to offer to train your replacement when you decide to quit. This is a way to end your job on a high note, and especially if you have a specialized position, it makes it easier for your coworkers to transition.

If you are leaving for any reason where you don't care about leaving on a high note, this is optional and a courtesy, so you do not need to do it.
