“The great resignation is coming,” says Anthony Klotz, an associate professor of management at Texas A&M University who’s studied the exits of hundreds of workers.

We asked Klotz what to expect as the great resignation picks up speed. http://trib.al/WkKyHWK 
Say I want to quit right now. What should I do?

Give a lot of thought to the reasons. Are you just assuming your company won’t work with you and let you work part time or remotely or take a sabbatical? Make sure you fully understand your company’s plans. http://trib.al/WkKyHWK 
Should I quit before or after returning to the office?

Consider going back for at least a week or two. Think of it as a test of your hypothesis. Humans tend to be really bad at predicting how they’ll actually feel. http://trib.al/WkKyHWK 
How does one do a pandemic resignation?

It’s going to be particularly tempting to use electronic mediums, but our research has found that organizations and managers respond poorly to emailing a boss or leaving a note on her desk. http://trib.al/WkKyHWK 
So when I talk to my boss in person or on Zoom, what should I say?

That you tried it, and it isn’t working for you. Your boss will view that in a more favorable light than simply not trying at all. Your reasons should be honest, but not all the reasons. http://trib.al/WkKyHWK
