Negative Resignation
When you must leave a position under duress or stress,
keep your explanation short, honest and positive. Never write a
resignation letter when you’re angry. Remember the adage: “Don’t
burn bridges.” The goal is to state any serious conflict calmly,
rationally and gracefully. Despite your differences, you may need
a reference from this employer in the future.
