At one point or another, almost every adult has entertained the idea of leaving their company. Many of them actually push through. For the plethora of reasons to resign, there are corresponding considerations. And many of those who resign ignore the latter and pay dearly.
First of all, many exiting employees forgo consultations with their immediate superiors before handing in the resignation letter. Oftentimes, they find out after they’ve left that they would have been given incentives to stay. They discover later on that had they voiced their concerns, management would’ve listened and made changes.

Many employees who’ve resigned went through their savings like a scorching knife through heated butter and ended up relying on the good graces of people such as their parents for the basic necessities.
Having backup plans (yes, not just one) is probably the best course of action if one really had to resign. However, before handing in that resignation letter, ask management first if there’s anything that can be done to alleviate your situation at work.
