Don't forget step 4, being make sure to jump on the next 'big thing' when it comes along so you can write a similar post about you leaving that sodden platform a few years later. Step 5 is usually presented as 'Rinse, Repeat'.
The best way to solve these problems is not jumping on those platforms in the first place. No matter what everyone and his dog may say it is always best to think for yourself what benefit - if any - that 'great new service' would have in reality and what price it carries for delivering that potential benefit. What things like Facebook potentially gave was a way to find long lost acquaintances with whom to share... well, what, really? Those people ended up being lost acquaintances in the first place because you did not share that much with them other than a temporary sojourn in a college hall or classroom. A few of them probably stuck around to become friends in real life, the rest faded into the background. Facebook dug them up for you so you could tell each other what food you had today or that you walked the dog again. Then one of them started posting photos of himself on some sunny beach, creating envy in all his contacts who hurried to post similar photos of themselves on even sunnier beaches. Rinse... Repeat...

Message your manager, say you need to have a little talk, and then tell them you will be leaving.
Optional preceding step: get new job first.

i don't think it's as simple as just doing it. is there a way to delete your personal facebook while operating business profiles/pages?
delete them too :) /s
this is an increasing problem with facebook -- it became a de-facto internet, to some people it became pretty much indistinguishable. I understand desire for customer engagement and other things that platform like fb provides, but given the current state of social media and (alleged) increasing distrust[1] I think businesses will start looking for something else anyway. I'm hoping for the best.

Give operating authority to another person.. social media/PR type person.
Is it that hard to make a new/empty profile and assign it as admin and then delete the old profile?
good ideas! thanks guys.
Just a video and no text article? I’ll pass!
1) Deactivate your account
2) Make sure you let everyone in your social network know that you're quitting Facebook by writing a Medium post, news column, or HN post on how it's going to drastically improve your life by eliminating all of the attention seeking behaviors that social media attracts. Make sure to lecture all of them on how much more meaningful your interactions with your true friends are going to be now that you've ascended to this higher state of purpose and existence
3) Continue living your life exactly the same, but with more time spent on Reddit, Instagram, and Hacker News now that you can't visit Facebook anymore
