Resignation while on or after MatLeave

Hay, I totally get it, six years na, and this last baby window won't come back. Honestly, resigning right after matleave is tricky with government work kasi may rules about benefits and separation pay, so I'd really suggest checking with your HR first about what you're entitled to (some offices will adjust your final pay based on your tenure). The hardest part for me wasn't the decision itself but the guilt of "leaving" and the money adjustment, so make sure you and your partner have talked through the budget before you hand in your resignation. When you tell your boss, keep it simple and professional, don't overshare the emotional side, just say you're resigning effective [date] and you're grateful for the opportunity; mas smooth ang transition na way. Good luck, Mama, this season of being fully present is precious, and you deserve to enjoy it guilt-free if you and your family can swing it financially.
