We are growing and as we hire new executives, I\u2019m just expected to support them without extra compensation. To make matters worse, it\u2019s becoming an old boys\u2019 club. I plan on moving out of Manhattan to be a stay-at-home mom, so I offered to work remotely for my boss. In the meantime, I just feel like quitting \u2014 but don\u2019t want to burn a bridge. How do I exit gracefully?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve put in almost a dozen years, so they must have been pretty good ones. Don\u2019t let the recent events ruin what you\u2019ve earned, which is a good reference and potential future opportunities. Since you\u2019ve already told your boss your plans, you can also tell him that in the meantime the additional workload is a lot and it is only fair that you receive additional compensation for the extra work, either in the form of a raise or bonus. You may prefer the bonus since you are leaving and may not realize the full potential of a salary increase. As for the boys\u2019 club, unless you are talking about behavior that is a violation of the law or company policy, I would professionally discuss the specific behavior that makes you uncomfortable and ask that it stop. Speaking up for yourself isn\u2019t a risk if you do so professionally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I work for <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> and I exercised my free speech complaining about our potential new boss, Elon Musk, and said if he\u2019s going to head up the company, I quit. My boss said, \u201cI accept your resignation.\u201d Can he do that?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>You have the right to express your opinion, but that doesn\u2019t mean your employer has to keep employing you. You are employed at will \u2014 you can leave at will and your employer can fire you at will. They just can\u2019t fire you for a protected reason. Threatening to quit if you don\u2019t like your new boss is not a protected reason. Moreover, If you tell your boss the conditions upon which you will quit, your boss has the right to accept your resignation if those conditions come to pass.<\/p>\n<p><em>Gregory Giangrande has over 25 years of experience as a chief human resources executive.
