How do I tell my manager that I want to quit?

It can be challenging to take a calm and reasoned approach to resigning if you’ve been mistreated or underappreciated. However, words spoken or written in haste could come back to haunt you since you never know what a former colleague or supervisor might tell a potential employer about your work or character.

It can be just as hard, or even more difficult, to tell your boss when you’re leaving a workplace where you’ve been happy.
