What does this set of words mean?

I find a set of words "leave job on good terms" on the internet. I looked up my dictionary but only found "on good terms=in a good friendship". But I feel this definition sounds weird when put in that context. Does "leave job on good terms" means "quit the job smoothly and leave no trouble" or "leave the job forever" (as the word "good" has the meaning "forever")?

Leave on good terms would mean leave with no trouble and no bad feelings. It would suggest that the company would be willing to hire the person again in future if they wanted to work there again.
