Should resignation letters be diplomatic, or shd the real reason of quitting be given?

Answer 1

Yeah, the resignation letter should be diplomatic. It should n't contain antyhing bad about the organization you're about to resign from. This is beacuse you never know you may have to come back to the same organization in the future sometime, or you need some help from this organization later in your future...like getting reference letters n all. Always, portrait that you had a good time working in this company but due to you career aspirations you are moving ahead. Yes, About the real reason why you're resigning from the current job you can always tell that in exit interviews or to the person whm you're going to submit your resignation. But don't give something in writing. Its considered bad. May be, after hearing your reason the organization may offer you something else...in the different department or something. Most people leave organazation becasue of their bosses not because of more money or something. I hope you get the point here.

Answer 2

Do not burn any bridges with your resignation letter. You never know who you will run into again in the future, or when you may need a reference.

You don't exactly have to be diplomatic though. Be terse instead. Don't make up anything. Just stick to the facts (I resign effective two weeks from now, etc). You don't have to give a reason in your letter.

Answer 3

Diplomatic is the best route to go when resigning from a job. You certainly want to be able to use them as a reference in the future.
Especially if the real reason can be construed as negative by others........

Answer 4

Always be diplomatic, no matter how they may have wronged you. You don't want to burn any bridges or have it come back to bite you.

If you are asked to explain further and can sit down with someone in management above, you could do that. But when putting anything in writing, always think of your own future.

Answer 5

Always be diplomatic. Don't burn the bridge with an employer. You might ended up regretting it. You never know when you might want your old job back. Or when your old boss or coworker knows someone important at your new job or at a future employer.

Be diplomaic.

Answer 6

I think it depends on the situation. You don't want to piss them off, because future employers may call them during background checks. That said, they may appreciate your candid remarks, as long as you use a polite tone and don't leave on bad terms.
