resign
Quit your post
Resign means to voluntarily give up a position or office: She resigned from the board.
The word carries formality—you resign a job but quit a shift.
To resign yourself to something is to accept it reluctantly: He resigned himself to the long wait.
A resigned tone or sigh conveys weary acceptance of circumstances beyond your control.
