Not to mention you would be going into your new position carrying this heavy weight of why you abandoned your former employer with no one to share it with. In some cases, especially if you have documented the sudden adverse changes to your employment in response to a recent complaint or reasonable request, you may fair better by quitting with good cause. The standard isn't as impossible to meet as the employer-sponsored articles on the internet would lead you to believe. In cases where there are systematic changes or actions against you and you have documented it, it may be better to quit and immediately file for unemployment. There are two caveats - and critical ones: a) you must address the problem in writing and b)you must detail, professionally, the valid reasons for which you are quitting in writing and even provide the employer with an example of how you tried to address the situation. This is a powerful "quit with good cause" email - and every employee should be learn to write them. Far too often, employees quit on "good terms" even after being shafted. Don't fall for that trick. Swallow your pride, be your most professional you, and fight for your rights. Switching jobs isn't always the best option. Haydarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717033837349835145noreply@blogger.com
