Quitting Amazon next week to join another company. Any tips for dos and don'ts when quitting? Are there specific things to write or not write in the resignation email? Any actions to take before I send resignation? Any tips would be great!
So you are planning to give a week long notice? Isn’t the typical notice period 2 weeks?
Resigning tomorrow, giving 2 weeks notice.
Don't quit while in devplan, you'll miss out on 3 months severance.
Ha! I don't think I'm on one, but I guess you never know.
See “leaving the current job” at “SDE guide to getting the best offer - part 3 (Tech Industry)" https://us.teamblind.com/s/ij5tgwfF
Awesome! Thank you!
Delete paging app on your last day or you will get a page at 1am when your alias is disabled.
“It is with a heavy heart that I am submitting my two weeks’ notice. I’ve enjoyed my time here and will forever appreciate the mentorship, trust and opportunities within the XYZ team. While I intend to spend the next two weeks providing knowledge transfer and role handoff, I look forward to our paths crossing again in the future. My last day at Amazon will be mm/dd/yyyy.”
Wow not bad! Thanks!
You’re welcome! My first boss started her resignation with that heavy heart bit and it has always stuck with me.
Congratulations on making it over the wire out of Amazons toxic culture. Clear your laptop of anything personal at all if you have anything on it, write up your polite nondescript draft resignation email without mentioning the new company name to manager with CC to HR and BCC to your personal email then just before you walk in to tell your manager send it which will hopefully avoid your manager mounting a counterstrike of marking you URA upon resignation to help meet their annual URA target and just for the fun of it generally. Discuss your notice period, which will probably be two weeks since anything less than a week gets a URA strike against you by HR and on the last day send your colleagues and team that thanks for the great memories exit email. They will all be hitting you up on social media for a referral! ;-)
hi, so for l4 (yoe < 1 year), where can I find the email address of the HR when resign?
Give your two weeks notice and get two weeks paid vacation and walked out the door immediately if you don't tell them where you're going. It's awkward, but enjoy two weeks off with no hard feelings. It happens a lot.
Show gratitude and keep it short. Include anyone you feel has been impactful or that may be a valuable connection down the road. And if there’s any bad blood or ill feelings, bury them deep inside and take solace in knowing you’ll be leaving whatever made you feel that way (hopefully).
Ask your mgr to put you on pivot
Give 2 weeks, be nice on the exit survey if you want to come back
Does it need to say anything in specific? Something like this- "i decided to end my work at Amazon and therefore giving you a 2 week notice, my last day will be xx/xx" It's my first time quitting in the US so just making sure...
There’s a bunch of multiple choice questions and a free text section. I think in parallel your manager gets to select if you’re regrettable attrition or not.
