How to Say Goodbye

Handle your departure as carefully as you would handle any other business endeavor. It's always wise to not burn bridges, because you don't know when you will need your past employers for a reference.

Review what to say and how to leave so your departure is polished and professional. If you're not sure what to write in your goodbye letter, review our sample resignation letters, resignation email message, and goodbye letters, then tailor one to meet to your circumstances.

Saying Farewell to Co-Workers

Once your boss knows you are leaving, it's fine to let your co-workers and colleagues know that you're moving on. Here are some tips for saying good-bye.

* Connect on LinkedIn - if you're not already connected with your colleagues on LinkedIn, now is a good time to make that connection.
* Say goodbye via email - send an email announcement or a LinkedIn message to co-workers you know well, not necessarily to the entire company. Especially if there are thousands of employees.
