It could do more harm than you expect. The better path? Leave a positive impression behind you. Resigning doesn't have to mean burning all your bridges. more »

A resignation is the formal act of giving up or quitting ones office or position. It can also refer to the act of admitting defeat in a game like chess, indicated by the resigning player declaring "I resign", turning his king on its side, extending his hand, or stopping the chess clock.Law 5.1 of the provides that, "The game is won by the player whose opponent declares he resigns." However, "In international play very few masters actually say the words I resign. Some tap their king on the board as a sign of concession. Other just extend their hand for a shake to signify surrender. Others simply stop their side of the chess clock." Andy Soltis, Chess to Enjoy, Stein and Day, 1978, p. 60. ISBN 0-8128-6059-4. A resignation can occur when a person holding a position gained by election or appointment steps down, but leaving a position upon the expiration of a term is not considered resignation. When an employee chooses to leave a position it is considered a resignation, as opposed to termination, which occurs when the employee involuntarily loses a job. Whether an employee resigned or was terminated is sometimes a topic of dispute, because in many situations a terminated employee is eligible for severance pay and/or unemployment benefits, whereas one who voluntarily resigns may not be eligible. Abdication is the equivalent of resignation of a reigning monarch or pope, or other holder of a non-political, hereditary or similar position.
A resignation is a personal decision to exit a position, though outside pressure exists in many cases.
