When to resign
July 27th, 2007
Suppose you have decided to join another company. When should you submit your resignation letter to your current boss?
You may not know this tip: Make your last day a Sunday.
For example, if you tender your resignation today, 27 July, your last day will be 26 August – a Sunday. But your last day at work is actually 24 August, which is a Friday. You “save” 2 days. (This assumes you need to give 1 month’s notice, and work 5 days a week.)
However, if you did not know this tip and tendered 2 days ago, your last day at work will still be 24 August. And compared to the aforementioned scenario, you will in fact get less pay. 2 days’ worth of pay to be exact. If your pay is $6k a month, that’s a $400 loss! Which is enough to give your family and friends a feast.
So, be smart. Make your last day a Sunday.
