Resigning from job

I signed a new offer from a new company (more to come later) and thereby will have to submit my resignation letter to my current company.

The problem was that I love my current company and my previous boss. He still in the company but transferred to another country. However, I feels that the new boss (already 3 years in Singapore) and my immediate boss do not know the best way to manage me.

Maybe is due to different focus or direction. So I decided to look for new job and found it.

The new company is a software house with products in SCM, etc.

How to write a resigning letter

I think the resignation letter should be simple and direct. The few main points are:

  1. Inform the company you are resigning
  2. The last day of work unless you want to leave early
  3. Thanking your boss and company

I don't think adding reason of changing job in the resignation letter serve any purpose as I am resigning, it may be due to job, boss, work, increment, etc.

Once decided to resign, I can only say all the best to the company, my boss and my future.

After 4 years in current company, I think I am very comfortable in the company structure and policies. To move out from the comfort zone requires some courage and luck.

Luck is because I still do not know the culture of the new company. So to fit in to the new culture and place need some times to adapt. I hope I don't bring any of my cultural shock to them. As for shock from them, I guess I am pretty sure I can fit it.

Anyhow, it is going to be a new challenge.

I did spoke to my old boss telling him that he going to be missed and I still have not fully thank him yet.
