Default Quitting your job

Has anyone ever done this? What did you say to your boss and how did it go?

Ive never quit before, Ive had the same job now. But, when I do quit itll be because I found another job so Ill just say the pay is better and its a better job. Which it will be, since like, being a cashier is like, the easiest job in the world.

Is that the reason why youre leaving? If not, tell them the truth or make up something. But try and leave on good terms if ya can, you never know if you have to go back!

I quit my job at a law office in January. I just said that I was so busy with school and that it was a great opportunity to work there (such a lie!). It went fine, though.

I see I'm not the only one having problems with editing thread titles. I thought it was a 60 minute limit but apparently it was fixed or something. It's my opinion, but I think if we can edit posts, we should also edit thread titles. Maybe I should mention this to TJ again.

I quit my last job a year ago. I just went to the boss and said to her that I feel like I need to move on and find a job that is closer to home. I regret quitting because I have still not found a job since then.

Well, really it's because I hate my bosses, they don't trust me, and it's putting me under so much emotional pain that I'm making myself sick.

Can't really tell them that though.

Why not?

Yeah, that really sucks. Bosses shouldnt make you feel that way. Do other co-workers feel that way too? If so, you guys can get together and write a letter to them. If not, and theyre mistreating you verbally and what not, speak to the BIG BOSS of the whole place or whatever.

Umm.. for an excuse you could say: I found a better (paying) job, a job thatll help me further my career, or that you just feel ready to move on.

Actually, I'm the only employee left. I've seen 2 guys quit ahead of me (the last one is really making me sad) and they were both treated the same way. And the thing with my bosses is once you give them your 2 weeks, they treat you like ****. They did it to both Al and Earl.

And it's a small auto repair shop...no higher ups.

I may tell them I'm going back to school. Whether I actually do or not is not their problem.

Believe me, I'd love too. These people are only a few steps above Satan, Hitler, Osama, and Hussein in my opinion.

I quit a job a few years ago. Unfortunatly, this is a family website, so let's just say the obscenities were flying fast and furious.

Can you throw your back out from cursing too much?

Hmm.. that sucks. If I were you, I wouldnt even give them the satisfaction of giving them 2 weeks then, if thats how they are. But yah.. going back to school is a good excuse.

I just quit my job a week ago, my boss is a real jerk(but substitute a different word). I have talked to others that work there since I left, and they're ready to walk out cause he's a tyrant.

I basically walked out on him, I wasn't comfortable doing that, but he's had so many people walk out on him the last few months, I don't think it even fazed him
