Has the Great Resignation been replaced by this new phase of just quietly quitting?\u00a0 While it sounds tempting to stay at a job and do a variation of the \u201cminimum wage, minimum work\u201d thing, I don\u2019t really believe we\u2019re built that way. When you no longer can stand your job (or your boss or coworkers) you will start looking for new opportunities.<\/p>\n

The truth is, there has and probably will continue to be a good amount of turnover, especially for fundraisers who, on average, switch jobs every couple of years. As tempting as it is to utter some version of \u201ctake this job and shove it\u201d – a fantasy for many of us \u2013 it\u2019s best to push that aside. As someone who has both given and accepted resignation letters, I recommend the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Take to heart that we are all socially connected so it\u2019s important to maintain control of your narrative. The \u201cpeak-end rule\u201d applies: we are not judged by all the good stuff we\u2019ve done but by the peak, or most intense moments, and by our ending. Manage your message throughout the resignation process.<\/li>\n
  2. Keep in mind that it\u2019s a small world. Don\u2019t burn a bridge, as tempting as it might be. I made that mistake early in my career and, decades later, I continue to cross paths with my old boss. Awkward.<\/li>\n
  3. If you legitimately have concerns about the workplace, express them. But think carefully about how you air your grievances and to whom.<\/li>\n
  4. Focus on the positive. If it is appropriate (and true) let your supervisor know that your present job really helped prepare you for this next phase of your career.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Remember it doesn\u2019t end here. Show grace. You will likely stay in touch with colleagues and perhaps maintain a relationship with your boss. This is a long-game and should be played accordingly.<\/p>\n

    These are just a few of my suggestions. What are yours?<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
