Bedeutung
To resign from a position.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'notice period' (irtisanomisaika) is strictly followed. Even if you 'take your final account', you usually stay for 2-4 weeks. Quitting without a new job is traditionally frowned upon in older generations, but becoming more accepted as 'downshifting'. If you 'ottaa lopputili' yourself, you may face a 'karenssi' (waiting period) before you can receive unemployment benefits. Finnish unions often advise members on the legalities of 'lopputili' to ensure all holiday pay is included in the final settlement.
The 'n' ending
Always remember to add the '-n' to 'lopputili' when you say 'I quit' (Otan lopputilin).
Don't say it to your boss's face
Even though it's neutral, saying 'Mä otan lopputilin' to a high-level boss might sound a bit blunt. Use 'Irtisanoudun' for more respect.

Use with 'itse'
Adding 'itse' (myself) emphasizes that it was your choice: 'Otin lopputilin ihan itse.'
