Employees often resign hastily, leaving the same day or even without notice, while others remain physically but mentally absent. However, the resignation process itself can reveal a person's true character.

The editor-in-chief of a magazine in Shanghai called his cousin and suggested she "change her work environment," offering three times her current salary. Of course, she couldn't refuse such a good opportunity, but she asked them to wait three months.
The reason she asked them to wait three months was that her contract with her current employer had not yet expired. I said, "Isn't your contract with the company expiring in a month? Why ask them to wait three months? Do you want to work two months of voluntary labor?" She said, "Although my contract with the company has only one month left, I think I should give the company enough time to find someone to replace me."
A month later, the company still hadn't recruited a suitable replacement. It wasn't that the company had high requirements; they just wanted to find someone similar to her: honest, diligent, and hardworking. Although they hadn't found a replacement, it didn't mean she couldn't leave. In fact, the understanding leaders, though reluctant to let her go and highly praising her work, realized that delaying her "future" was unethical. Since they couldn't offer her "benefits," they had no right to prevent others from doing so. So they didn't obstruct her; they even urged her to leave early, worried that if they delayed further, the Shanghai offer might fall through.
Frankly, she also wanted to leave early and go to Shanghai to earn a high salary, but she was a person of her word and couldn't treat her promise as a joke. Another month passed, and finally a good young man was selected. But she still didn't rush to leave, because the young man was a novice, and she felt responsible for passing on her "work experience" to him. So she felt she couldn't leave yet.
After some time, she unreservedly imparted her work experience to him until he could handle things independently. Only then did she reluctantly leave for Shanghai. On the day before her departure, the entire company held a banquet to see her off. It was a moving scene; her eyes reddened many times, because during the frequent toasts, she heard many times such words: "If you can't make it in Shanghai, come back. The door here is always open for you."
She had been in Shanghai for less than four months when their "prediction" indeed came true. The situation happened so suddenly that she had no time to prepare, leaving her at a loss. Enduring until late at night, she finally couldn't help but call the former editor-in-chief.
However, unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the editor-in-chief said on the other end of the line, "If you don't mind the lower salary, come back and work." "But you already have enough people... Even if you have no problem, would the other leaders agree to my return?" "We'll discuss it at a meeting tomorrow; wait for my news." The next day, she received the news: "We unanimously welcome you back." For a long time afterward, she couldn't understand why the leaders unanimously welcomed her back.
Later, she learned that it was precisely her honest and responsible attitude that became her "lifeline" in a desperate situation. So she thought: This is perhaps what people often call "sow good causes, reap good results"! Leave yourself a way out; who knows, you might return to your original company one day.
