Answer Details
The opposite in meaning to the word "under a cloud" is "with a clear record". "Under a cloud" means to be in disgrace or under suspicion of wrongdoing, so the person is leaving their job in a negative way. "With a clear record" means to have a good reputation and no suspicion of any wrongdoing.
