It's no fun to quit really....
Have your resignation letter ready, and just tell your boss. Say thanks for the opportunity, but I'm making a strategic career move. No complaining, no explaining.
No one will ever fault you for taking a better job!
Congratulations!!!!!

Do not be scared!! Bosses are like dogs... well kinda. Anyways, they can smell fear on a person. Be very straight-forward and to the point with the notice. If you sound like you mean business then, the boss may take you more seriously. I just went through the very same thing and once it was done it was fine. No two weeks of hell. Plus as long as you have the other job WHO CARES!!! They can take your position and shove it!! You have a better opportunity and at the end of the day thats ALL that matters!!! You will be just fine.

Even though your boss might be moody it is in your best interest to properly give the two week notice. If you don't feel comfortable doing so in person, do so by letter. Make sure that it is dated, and signed, and states that your putting in your 2 week notice. Also, keep a copy of it for your records. Now if you feel like he will put you through hell in the process, you can discuss your intentions to your HR manager prior to giving the letter (telling him in person). If you have tried all of these things, and he still gives you problems, then simply move on if you have the opportunity. I would then let the HR department know of his actions, and file a grieveance. Most places of employment have a no harassment/no hostility policy that is strictly enforced. IF you don't get satisfaction with this route, you can take your case to the EEOC. Hope this all helps, and enjoy your new profession!!

It's better to be open and honest with him, even if he gets angry, which he might, and puts you through hell the last 2 weeks, it's only 2 weeks and it will be over eventually.
If you don't give him a true 2 weeks notice then it could be worse and he could tell your new employer that you weren't respectful enough to be forthcoming with him. And you don't want to start a new job on a bad note..
Plus even if he is mad now, you are leaving for reasons and business person would understand and eventually he will realize that (even if you are not there to see it!) but it may make him less moody and mean at work so he won't lose good employees like you!

In the scope as a manager and a professional, he has to understand that everyone is entitled to "move on" and if he/she can't understand that, then in all honesty you don't want to pledge your life long career to someone like that and be happy that you found a new job. I am a manager of over 34 people and I NEVER feel any type of anger towards anyone that has deceided to go to another firm. The only situation that may cause any problem is if you don't give two weeks notice, or if your in a position that exposes you to confidential information which in turn leaves your employer no other option than to either remove you from your position which gives you exposure to such info or execute your employment the day of your notice of resignation (in most cases like this with 2 weeks salary). Which leads me to the point that you should resign in person as well as in writing. If he's moody and your leaving in all honesty that is his problem not yours.

If you put in your resignation on June 30 and are leaving on July 15,that is two weeks notice. You already have another position, so why worry about your present boss' moods. What can he do, Fire you? Just go in and do your job and all will be fine.

I had the same type of schedule and gas situation. I told my boss
that I was seeking something else. I explaned that I was looking for a job that I wanted to do. he was very understanding of my desire. so I left without notice. Now I am a loan officer, building my own business in a way, in that I am generating my own leads and loan pipeline. I am now getting an equal share of what i make for my company. I also work closer to home, 20 mi, closer. What am I trying to say! I am saying do what is right for you and don't wory about pleasing others. if they don't notice when your not trying they never will. Always please yourself first.

You'r gonna have to do it, so do it and be prepared for the worst. However, explain to your boss the reasons. Focus on the better hours and location.
Let's face it, it's only going to be for two weeks, then things are going to get a lot better. Always remember the light at the end of the tunnel.

since you will be leaving, you should not be worried about the 2 weeks notice...your boss might be putting you through hell but you could fight back too...you can stop doing your work and laze around or waste time doing unnecessary things....he can't fire you as you have already submitted your resignation.... so it's both to play the game...if your boss is treating you nice during that 2 weeks...then you should do your things properly and leave with good dignity and be proud....

Be responsible and give your 2 weeks notice. So they can at least find a replacement before you leave (that's why they ask for two weeks notice anyway).
Just do what you normally do, and don't take the crap, you are leaving anyways. But be respectful (don't cuss them out, even though you may want to. Be the adult in the situation.).

Are you kidding me? I had a situation like this, and when 3 days before my last day my boss came up with a project that he knew I am not suppose to be doing, I simply walked out and asked to have my last check mailed to me (that's your right, at least in NY as far as I know). When the check never showed up, I went to The Labor Department, and they wanted to close the place down. My boss called me begging to get the Labor Department off his back...
