What to do before you leave your job
Wanna quit your job? Been there..didn’t do that.
Instead I waited to get laid off. But I had a lot of notice before my job ended so I made sure that I took care of business before my last day of work.
If you want to quit your job make sure you do these three things before you leave your job:
Read your employee handbook so you know what benefits you’re due and what actions you need to take.
Keep all the files and emails you’re allowed to keep, and delete what you’re allowed to delete. The job is probably going to have a backup copy anyway, but get all your non-work stuff of your work systems.
Get all the medical care you can if you have good health care coverage. Not having medical insurance is tough in America, get the best care you can while you still have access to it.
These three things can save you a lot of money over the long-term. Don’t wait until the last minute, once you know you’re voluntarily or involuntarily leaving your place of employment, get those benefits.
