When you calm down, check for contractual restraints and, if appropriate, get in touch with your top clients, explaining to them that you’re leaving and hope you’ll work with them again. It’s honest, respectful and subtly says, I’m on the market.
Avoid venting with your colleagues or giving your boss a piece of your mind. You never know whether you’ll find yourself working with them again in the future. Instead, call your partner or your best friend and schedule an urgent téte-a-téte for that same night. It will be a safe space for you to release your emotions by cursing, crying and even laughing at your predicament.
