Question regarding resignation

Post by HopelessCamera » Sat Sep 26, 2009 11:46 am

Hi

I am planning to resign from my current employer, it just came into my mind, did you guys inform your current employer where you are going to work next?

Being bored with the current work place, and do not want them to know where I am gonna work...will they find out by some means even I do not tell?

Anyone knows please help me, thanks a lot! :shock:

Usually yes. Not always.

Perhaps. It depends on what sort of work you do (some circles are very small) and if they are actually interested. At a company level few would care unless you were going to a direct competitor and might take a trade secrets or a client list or something with you. At a personal level your colleagues might be curious, but whether you tell them is up to you.

One thing I have noticed though is that it is a small world, and you will likely to encounter people from your current company at some point in the future, especially if you work in a niche area. There is no point in creating bad feeling if it can be avoided as it can backfire on you later, so if there is no real reason to keep it secret don't make a big thing of hiding it.

I second DMC's comment and suggestion.
Unless you have some serious reason, do not try too hard to hide it, as you may actually
attract on their interest. If you get a direct question, in this country
you have a good chance to escape it by giving a sufficiently vague answer.
They should not insist in knowing the exact name of the company.
