redrose85 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I'm giving 2 weeks notice at work today (unless I chicken out again!) I need some encouragement plz! Link to comment
scared and alone Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 You can do it! Quitting a job is one of the hardest things to do, but, if you must do it, just get the courage to do it! may i ask why you are leaving? Link to comment
Scorpion Fury Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 You got somethin else lined up? If you don't, don't quit, unless you don't need money. Do what you gotta do. Even if you don't get along with your boss, make it professional. I always make mine two week notice say something like, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity...blah blah... Even if you have no intention of ever going back, don't burn your bridges Link to comment
redrose85 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 I get along fine with everyone. I've decided to take August to myself and then in September I'll be refreshed and ready for school with maybe even an extra course or two. I'm tired of fiddling around with random jobs and want to get my foot in the door at a local paper. Even if it's little or no pay, I do have a student loan lined up, so I'll be okay. In the past 5 years I've had a total of 2 weeks holiday, and I really need to breathe and just have fun for a few weeks. Link to comment
scared and alone Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 well hey, you gotta do what you gotta do! Link to comment
McLovin oo7 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Good for you redrose! I dont understand why you are nervous? employment is a simple contract between two parties and its there because it benefits them both. Its a mutual business. So if you wanna leave, there should not be any problem. Link to comment
redrose85 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 I guess because no one expects it Link to comment
scared and alone Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 no one expected it with me either, one was actually kinda mad lol. but, i had to do it. Link to comment
Scorpion Fury Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Don't worry about what they think. Your boss will have to understand, and if he doesn't....oh well. They'll get over it. For some reason, your concern reminds me of the movie "Waiting". When he doesn't want to accept the job as assistant manager and he tells his boss he quits instead. "No...see....I write the book. and what happened is, you walked in and YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!" Link to comment
redrose85 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 It went very well. I cornered the manager and sat him down and explained my plans. Link to comment
Bkoguy07 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Lol nice way to go, your free. Link to comment
