Before You Resign, Know What You're Dealing With
A forced exit doesn't always begin with someone explicitly saying “We're terminating you.”
Sometimes it looks like sudden vague performance concerns, pressure to resign, exclusion from meetings, unexpected micromanagement, suggestions of a “graceful exit,” or an exit process that seems to appear overnight.
The toolkit starts by helping you assess what's happening and document it properly before making rushed decisions.
Inside the Toolkit
01. Know What to Negotiate
Severance isn't necessarily just one number.
The toolkit helps you think through 10 potential negotiation points, including:
Notice-period salary • Leave encashment • Insurance continuation • Experience/reference letter • Bonus/commission • PF & gratuity • Stock options • Full & final settlement timeline • Exit documentation—and more.
You'll also prioritize your own top asks so you know what actually matters to you before entering the conversation.
02. Know What to Actually SAY
This is where the toolkit becomes particularly practical.
You'll get ready-to-adapt language for situations like:
“They told me the offer is final.”
“They're asking me to resign voluntarily.”
“I want to negotiate a higher severance.”
“I need more time before signing.”
“I want my insurance extended.”
“I disagree with the performance language in my exit documents.”
“I want a neutral exit reason/reference.”
“I need to ask about bonus, stock or leave payout.”
The scripts are designed to help you communicate calmly and professionally rather than reacting emotionally under pressure.
03. Document Before You Negotiate
When the situation becomes serious, memory isn't enough.
You'll learn what information to start organizing—including relevant emails, messages, meeting notes and HR conversations—and get a simple framework for documenting events as they happen.
04. Know What NOT to Say or Sign Without Review
When you're overwhelmed, phrases like:
“Okay, I'll resign.”
“I'll sign whatever you need.”
“I guess I wasn't performing well.”
can come out far too easily.
You'll get a dedicated guide covering statements to be cautious about and documents that deserve careful review—including voluntary resignation letters, waivers/NDAs, PIP acknowledgements and final-settlement documents.
05. Get Ready-to-Use Emails & Follow-Up Templates
You'll also receive professional templates for situations including:
Requesting exit terms in writing • Clarifying final compensation and benefits • Negotiating severance • Challenging unfair exit language • Confirming what will appear in official documents • Asking about rehire eligibility • Confirming PF/gratuity/final payroll • Requesting insurance continuation—and more.
06. Know How to Prepare If You Decide to Speak to a Lawyer
If your situation becomes serious enough to seek professional legal advice, you won't have to walk into that conversation completely unprepared.
The toolkit includes:
✓ An email template for approaching a lawyer
✓ 17 questions to ask during your consultation
✓ A checklist of documents to gather beforehand
So you can use your consultation to get specific clarity about your situation, rather than spending the entire call figuring out what information the lawyer needs.
