In my own case, my boss didn't really treat me bad until the last day. I gave him three months notice and he felt I would change my mind before the expiration of the three months. He begged me through proxies to stay. One month passed, two months passed and at the end of the third month, on the very last day, he hired thugs to manhandle me. I started recording the whole show and told them that the very moment they touch me, I will go live. When they saw I was ready to push the video to Facebook, they retreated and told my boss to allow me go in peace. That was how I left in peace.

Have you ever encountered such? How did you handleit?

Some companies treat their staff wrongly once they hand in resignation letters...

If an employee decides to move on, do not treat them unfairly during the notice period. Most organizations struggle with this aspect and they need to do better!

They use this period to humiliate and treat the exiting staff unfairly. Forgetting that the exiting employee is an ambassador of the organization if he/she is treated properly.

It is sad to see talents leave. Instead of handling it meanly, use the exit interview to understand why the staff is leaving, understand his/her motivations, and check if there is an alignment of the staff’s aspirations with the goals of the organization. Once this is done, it will help you know how to hire and retain employees in the future.

I have spoken with a lot of guys and most have poor experiences during their exit period. Organizations can do better in managing and handling this sensitive aspect of staff offboarding..

As a leader/HR personnel in an organization, if an employee hands in his/her resignation, you can do this:

1. First, take a moment to digest the news.
2. Notice and manage any in-the-moment reactions.
3. Depersonalize the news. Do away with any emotional reaction.
4. Be curious and show a growth mindset.
5. Show your support.
6. Thank them for their hard work during the time they've been with you. Wish them best wishes for continued success.
7. Ask for what you need.

When an individual gives notice, they likely have a desired end date in mind. After all, they will want to take a break before diving into a new job. Get alignment on what they need and what you need from them before they leave to ensure a smooth transition. It may involve some give and take and could include finishing a specific project or set of tasks, training others to take over these responsibilities to minimize disruption, or even hiring their replacement.

Someone giving notice doesn’t have to be the end of the world or the end of a relationship. As surprised as you may be, using the seven strategies above can help you respond in a constructive way that builds the relationship and helps all parties move on positively.

I wonder if this is a Nigerian factor.

The best way as a staffer to avoid such awkward situation is to just try and be diplomatic about your exit -- perhaps conceal some details and just give them the surface. Some people even have to tell a lie.

It's sad.

Nsonaso:
Ha, I don't understand. I thought if you hand in your resignation letter to HR, you're supposed to use the door and kiss the organization good bye.

The unfair treatment is it when they meet on the road or shopping mall or where?

No. I don't resign from jobs, I get sacked.

JoshTheStoic:
That's the best way, anything you say will be used against you. Let say you are leaving because of unfair abuse and treatment from a boss, they might say you are rude etc. One of my good boss back then resigned and said he want to take a political position in his hometown back then but moved to a rivalry company, I laughed back then but later realize myself it was a smart move. You own nobody why you are leaving, just do what's best for you and your career.

You be hit man ?

jclassiq:

Exactly!
I used the same tactic when i worked in Abuja. I had to tell a lie not because i was concerned about needing them for reference later on, but because i needed them to pay me what they owed me. Coincidentally, it happened that the manager then was an easy going man that respected me a lot. He gave me his word, and i left in peace.

I can relate with this, back then I was working for a ' big' player in the healthcare industry ( The first EMS company in Nigeria). I was in the operations department and in the midst of a deep pocket project ( I was handling the health screening for this big football academy that has affiliation with the Catalans).
The man at the top wanted to draft me into marketing. I kept saying No. When the pressure was too much, I decided to quit. I was on annual leave when I made the decision. I gave the company 1 month notice, but the man said it wasn't enough.

I gave my resignation letter to the HR manager, he was surprised but he understood my reasons. He told me to discuss with the boss. So I went to the Boss's office to book appointment but because it was me, the secretary was bold to ask him if he wants to see me directly based on my resignation letter. He said, no. 'He does not want to see me at all' . The Secretary fought back tears as she told me.

I went back to the HR manager, I told him. I will bring another letter of resignation with immediate effect. He opened his mouth, thought I was joking. I went downstairs to type the new resignation letter, I sent out notice of resignation with immediate effect to all my colleagues and managers via email.

I walked back upstairs to the HR, he collected the letter, looked at it, looked back at me and said Mr X, we should not allow you to go like this. He stood up, wanting to go back to the boss with the letter again. I said no, but he pleaded with me. He came back later feeling dejected and sorry. I told him to sign off on the letter.

I took my copy of the signed resignation letter to IT and account departments to sign off as well. I submitted all company paraphernalia. I left as a human being, a living soul.

All the top echelon of the workforce left that company within six months. The HR manager left two months after I left.

I got a very good job in the same month, A Toyota sponsored Hospital in Lagos, when I left this hospital, it was all love, cakes, hugs and kisses. #MYEXPERIENCE.
