To help you better manage your emotions without negatively impacting colleagues, we've compiled several "prescriptions" that may prove effective!
Symptom 1: Anger
Your boss is incompetent, so you finally snapped, "You're useless!" and stormed out like a scene from a movie. Anger clouded your judgment.
Prescription:
Remember, walking out like this leaves a permanently negative impression. Your boss holds the key to your career advancement. Think twice before losing your temper.
Symptom 2: Euphoria
Your new job comes with $2.5 million in stock options. After handing in your resignation, you're urged to throw a lavish celebration. You're soaked in euphoria, floating weightlessly in mid-air.
Prescription:
Cap your excessive excitement to prevent it from overflowing and turning "too much of a good thing."Remember, nothing in this world is flawless, and no free lunch exists: even a "dream" job comes with its own set of problems. Symptom Three: Melancholy You know you should feel happy, since you quit for a better opportunity. Yet you find yourself deeply missing the work atmosphere at your former company.
Prescription:
Simply recall why you resigned. You made a well-considered decision before leaving, and you'll weather this transition.
Symptom Four: Guilt
When handing over work you feel wasn't up to par, you wish you could turn back time. You want to take on more responsibilities, but it's too late now, and guilt gnaws at you.
Prescription:
You won't finish everything by your departure date, and guilt is inevitable. Complete what you can, hand over the rest, and walk away.
Symptom Five: Second-Guessing
You've handed in your resignation, yet you constantly second-guess yourself. You keep reaching for the phone, tempted to ask if you can take it back.
Prescription:
This pre-transition "nervousness" is perfectly natural. Remind yourself why you chose the new job. Once you clarify your thoughts, you'll return to your usual self.
Symptom Six: Jealousy
After news of your new job spreads, your closest office friends start giving you the cold shoulder.
Prescription:
Your close colleagues might feel abandoned. Invite them to lunch and reassure them your friendship extends beyond work.
Symptom Seven: Boredom
You drag through your final two weeks in a fog of frustration and aimlessness, each day feeling like an eternity.
Prescription:
Do you want to be remembered as "the one who brought down the whole office morale"? You've decided to leave—why not spend your last days working harder and with a positive attitude?
