Talk to Your Manager About Why You Want to Quit

Tip
If you’ve been thinking about quitting your job, you’re not alone. Surveys show that anywhere from a quarter to more than half of employees are planning to look for a new job post-pandemic. But how can you be sure if it’s really time to leave? If you have concerns that could be addressed — you’re unhappy with the company’s WFH policy or your salary, for example — it’s worth speaking with your manager before giving notice. Here are three common issues to discuss.
- The logistics of work. Even if your company has announced a “universal” new policy governing how and where employees are required to work, don’t necessarily accept it as definitive. You can ask if an exception can be made. The answer may be no, but they may well decide to accommodate your preferences.
- Your role and growth. Speak up for what you want. Is there a project or initiative that you want to be involved in? Or a development program that could teach you new skills? Ask for it before deciding there’s no room for growth at the company.
- Compensation. If you feel you’re being underpaid, or you’ve gained new skills or experiences that make you especially marketable, inquire about a raise. Pose your ask thoughtfully, making a reasoned argument about the value you add to the company and why a salary increase is merited. A pay increase doesn’t matter much if you’re miserable every day but it could make you feel more valued.

🇨🇳 和你的经理谈谈你为什么要辞职
如果你一直在考虑辞职，你并不孤单。 调查显示，全球各地四分之一到一半以上的员工计划在流感大流行后寻找新的工作。 但是你怎么能确定你真的该离开了呢？ 如果你有需要解决的问题，比如对公司的居家工作政策或你的薪水不满意，在发出通知前和你的经理谈谈是值得的。 下面是三个需要讨论
- 工作的后勤。即使你的公司已经宣布了一项通用的新政策，规定了员工的工作方式和工作地点，也不要把它当成一个明确的规定。你可以问问是否可以破例。答案可能是否定的，但他们很可能会决定适应你的喜好。
- 你的角色和成长。说出你想要的。是否有一个你想参与的项目或倡议?或者是一个可以教会你新技能的发展项目?在决定公司没有发展空间之前，先提出要求。
- 补偿。如果你觉得薪水太低，或者你获得了新的技能或经验，这让你特别受欢迎，询问加薪的问题。提出你的问题时要深思熟虑，就你给公司带来的价值以及为什么应该加薪进行理性的论证。如果你每天都很痛苦，那么加薪也没什么大不了的，但加薪会让你觉得自己更有价值。
