Significado
Resigning from one's employment.
Contexto cultural
Resigning often requires a one-month notice period. Quitting 'on the spot' is considered very unprofessional and can damage your reputation in the tight-knit Yangon business community. Parents often have a strong say in their children's careers. A person might quit a high-paying job simply because their parents want them to move back to their hometown. Some people quit their jobs to enter a monastery or nunnery for a short period (or permanently). This is a highly respected reason for 'အလုပ်ထွက်'. When someone quits, it is polite to ask 'ဘယ်မှာ အလုပ်အသစ်ရလဲ' (Where did you get a new job?) rather than asking about the problems at the old job.
Decisive Quitting
Add 'လိုက်' (lite) to make it 'အလုပ်ထွက်လိုက်တယ်' to sound more decisive about your choice.
Don't say it to your boss lightly
In Myanmar, saying 'I'm quitting' is taken very seriously. Don't use it as a joke or a threat during an argument.
