Starting the meeting: "Thank you for sitting down with me today. I wanted to share that I have decided to pursue a new career milestone, and my last day will be November 24, 2026. I wanted to tell you personally and thank you for your support."
Handling a counteroffer firmly: "I am deeply flattered by your faith in my contributions, but this change is centered on my broader trajectory rather than compensation. I am 100% focused on training the team and finishing key deliverables."

Frequently Asked Questions

Must I disclose my diagnosis?

No. Medical privacy is standard practice: the letter states health necessity, never details. ADA and HIPAA privacy logic applies — see the FMLA & ADA guide (/guides-fmla-ada.html).

Should I explore FMLA before resigning?

If you have 12+ months and a 50+ employee employer, FMLA gives 12 weeks of protected, job-secured leave — often a better path than resigning.

What about long-term disability?

Check your employer LTD policy: it can replace income while off, and claims start before termination in many plans.
