Seniors,
I am working as a BD in a small software firm based in Chennai. I have had an opportunity to work for a CMM Level 5 company in Chennai. The position would involve starting up the operations in Chennai individually and doing business development in the south. Though not a great hike, I like the profile and company.
However, the reason I looked for a change is that my boss isn't allowing me to grow and masking from opportunities. Also, client commitments given in consultations with my boss are not kept up, which puts me in an embarrassing situation every time with a client and spoils my name with the client.
Now, when I attempt to resign from my company, my boss doesn't allow me. Since I can't say all these reasons straight away, I said career growth is the main reason, and to an extent, money is also the reason. He wants me to tell him my plan, and he says they will try to match it in the company. I know my boss is very smart and will not keep his commitments. Also, I have been here for three years, so I know that things will not change.
Now, I am stuck. I don't know what to say. But I want to grab the opportunity which comes very rarely. I am ready to serve my notice period; however, my resignation is not considered at all.
Please guide me and tell me my reasons for getting out of the company without hurting anyone's ego. I want to go out on good terms personally or professionally.
Expecting your suggestions. This involves my career. Please

Hi,
First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the new offer. As you mentioned, the company where you are currently working is a small company, and the other company is CMM Level 5. This should be a significant reason to consider leaving your current job and joining the new one.
Apart from the position profile, the company's profile also holds considerable importance. You can discuss your potential career growth in the new company with your boss, and I believe he will understand and accept your decision to resign.
Wishing you all the best.

Hi, Mr. Kumar,
I don't see any reason to go and explain your growth plans to your present boss. Stick to your decision and tell him that you want to resign. You need to be firm and blunt at times.

Make it very clear to your boss that you will not budge from your decision no matter what happens. Whenever he brings up the topic of changing your job profile to suit your needs, ensure you clarify and tell him about your intentions. Submit your resignation again. Also, bring up the topic of your notice period and confirm your dates for the same. This should make it sound final.

Hi,
All you need to do is be confident in asking for the approval of resignation. You can always say that you've learned a lot from him and the company. However, everyone needs to move on in life, and you have your reasons to move on. Believe me, it's all about the manipulation of words and making the other person realize that you, if not today, then tomorrow, will leave.

Dear Kumar,
Here are two things for you to consider:
1. Leave the organization at any cost:
In this case, even if your boss insists on knowing, you are not obligated to inform him. Not sharing your new offer with your boss does not mean you will damage your relationship with him. Once you leave the current organization, he is no longer your boss, and his behavior towards you may change, possibly leading to a more friendly interaction.
2. Seeking a different role and salary increase:
You can inform your boss about the type of role you are considering in the new offer. When it comes to the salary package, you could negotiate for a slightly higher amount than what was initially offered. This way, you can ensure that both your career aspirations and financial expectations are met within the same organization.

Dear All,
Thanks for your suggestions; I am sticking with my decision. However, despite three complete days, the company is not accepting my resignation. Maybe they feel that I have brought in more sales to the organization.
However, I am not looking back. But as an assumption, can anyone guide me on what type of problems I may come across if I withdraw my resignation and stick with the current organization?

Dear Kumar,
If you have already committed to your boss that you are leaving for better prospects, then you can phrase your statement like this: quote a much higher salary, stating what the other company has offered you. Your boss cannot match that amount without breaking the company's salary band, but at the same time, he cannot impede your career growth.
If not, you can say that you want to move to Hyderabad because your grandma is staying alone, and you want to be with her. You can add some other reasons as well.

Dear Kumar,
You have made the decision to quit after considering all the pros and cons. The decision is not made for negotiating a pay hike or promotion. As such, you have to stick to your stance and be firm in leaving. Since you have already informed your boss of your intention to leave, he would have likely lost trust in you and may view you differently. You need not disclose details about a new offer or salary. Stick to your reason that there is no opportunity for career growth, as stated in your email. There is no harm in speaking the truth. Please avoid giving trivial reasons.
Simultaneously, assess your new offer and determine if there are opportunities for career growth.
This is my opinion based on my experience in HR. The decision ultimately rests with you.

Hi all,
This is Mani from Bangalore. I'm doing research on 'Job stress' in Human Resources. Kindly please provide me a list of questionnaires for the same. Also, please provide me with some details on how to proceed with it. Where can we collect the data? How should we analyze it? What are the sources of collecting information? Is it best to choose a manufacturing or trading company for collecting the required data for the study and all the other related information?
To be frank, I'm in my final year of B.Com at "XXXXXXXXXXXXX" Evening College. They are implementing research for the first time this year, and we do not have any idea how to proceed with it. Kindly, can anyone guide me on this? It would be greatly appreciated.
I am looking forward to your help soon.
Thanks in advance.

There can be many reasons for job hopping; some of those reasons can be the following:
1. Lack of Opportunities
Employees often job-hop to climb up their career ladder. They think they have been in their current position for too long and do not see enough growth opportunities. So, they approach the job market to find the opportunities they want. Employees also want to learn and acquire more skills and knowledge as quickly as possible. So, when their workplace indulges in the same tools, technology, level of skills, and knowledge, they get bored of waiting for something valuable to learn. So, they find it wise to leave their job.
2. Poor Work-life Balance
A healthy work environment and good work-life balance are crucial for employee retention and satisfaction. If the work environment is too stressful and negatively affects employees' mental health, they leave their job quickly compared to the duration in a healthy work environment.
3. Lack of Skills
Sometimes hiring managers take the candidate's word for the truth, and employees end up in a job where they don't have sufficient skills for it. When people who often fake their skills get into a new job, they can go undetected for a few months. As they are new in the organization, they get more help from a colleague, and everybody around them may overlook their insufficient competency as they struggle to adapt quickly in a new workplace. But as time passes, the imposter gets afraid of being found out and leaves their job before their lack of skills is disclosed.
4. Toxic Environment
A toxic environment definitely inspires people to change jobs as soon as they find satisfactory opportunities. When employees experience a toxic work culture, they are more likely to leave their jobs even if they don't find better pay than their current position. People can be very ambitious about their career path, but newer generations such as Millennials and Gen Z are equally protective of their mental health. So, when people realize that continuing with their current employer would consistently cause them stress, they choose changing jobs as a better option.
5. Remote Work
The last few years have changed our perspective and priorities in many ways. Employees now prefer spending time with their families rather than wasting it on the daily commute to work, which can be done from home. Remote work or hybrid work culture also allows employees to plan their work according to their productive hours. They can also do some household chores without taking a full day's leave and travel while they work. So, whenever an employee who looks for a more flexible work opportunity gets one, they switch their job.
