Resignation guilt-trip is so effing real.
The moment you send in the resignation email, they are like..
- But we had plans for you…
- This is very unexpected
- You're leaving us in a lurch
- The team so so looks up to you and now this..
- We wish you had spoken to us before deciding
- You should connect once with the leadership
- Don't decide anything rash
The same org and people that: – Sent reminders when you were 10 minute late
- Paid you late. Gave no growth plan. Rejected your hike twice. – Made you "act like a lead" - but never "paid you like a lead"
- Promoted your politically correct, mediocrity loving colleague instead – Added you to critical projects with 0 context and 0 reward
- Said "it's not the right time" every time you brought up designation change – Left you alone during burnout, then called you "low energy" – Told you "the market is tough" while hiring someone else at 2x
Now suddenly you're integral. Nah man - You're just hard to replace on short notice. PERIOD. Next time, you hear this BS - stand up and give them the one hand clap.

You are just a resource at the end of the day... Nothing else... Even they treated me miserably when I told them that I am going on maternity leave... The next day they started behaving like I didn't existed... Worked till 9th month of pregnancy and still got only 25 k hike as I was no longer useful for them
The men who are going to office is much more useful than you sitting at home right? So they deserve more hike then you.
Bro the list is very exhaustive, yes indeed every word is true!!!!
Lmao, I remember all these dialogues. Before resignation I was considered to be the lowest performer and the moment I put in the papers my CEO was actually in talks to send me to Norway to expand the business there lol. Monkeys
A lot of good resources stay if management would only give a few good words.
Indeed! Every word of this post is true. I have been in same situation every time I had put down my paper. But reality kicks in after 3-6 months when you hear that manager who was promising the world to you on resignation, is himself leaving the org. So better be mature enough to understand that everyone is saving their ass in corporate. I have 1 rule if I had put down my paper, I’ll leave no matter what manager is promising to give.
Unless they match the offer, which almost never happens in SAP
