Ok, let’s put it bluntly: You hate your job and can’t wait to bid
adieu to the toxic work culture, the lack of opportunity to move up, that creepy co-worker, the tone-deaf diversity initiatives. You’ve got that seething “I quit!” email languishing in your drafts and you're
this close to hitting send.
But before you do, think about a little someone named Future You. Future You may gravely regret said seething email. In fact, let’s just state it definitively: Future You will be desperately googling “how to unsend an email.”
It’s true, when it’s time to go, it’s easy for emotions to get the best of you. But as Amelia Ransom, senior director of engagement and diversity for software company Avalara puts it: “You only get to leave this job once, so set yourself up to leave well.”
