My job is alright i just cant stand my boss, shes the devil to put it exactly. I tried to quit and somehow she didn;t let me, so now i lied saying i had to go home because of family problems (i live in FL, so home is NY) and shes letting me take off work friday and then come back tueday so i can be at work Wednesday and then she leaves for vacation. But then Erin another associate of mine gets back from her vacation adn she said if i still need to go i can go back when Erin get back. All i wanted to do was work my two weeks and "go home" (wink wink) and now somehow its turned into this and i dont know whjat to do. Should i use my vacation days and then just quit or just not go back at all or what? I dont watn to be irresponsible but im so torn.

You sound so unhappy, just quit.

Okay, there are no absolutes in life, but in business there can be. That is by giving them written notice. State that you are leaving and why. It doesn't have to be a long explaination or even a relative one. Just a letter saying that you have decided to leave for either personal or career reasons and when you are leaving. If you have vacation time, take it. To do that, depending on how much time you have, take it all and before you leave, let them know that is terminal vacation time and that you are leaving at the end of your vacation. You can either deliver the letter as you leave or if you have more than two weeks vacation time coming, when you are at the two weeks and one day left point of your vacation. That way, you stay within the company guidelines. That way, you're not abandoning your job. That's a bad career move. Trust me.
Hope that helpdes to answer your question.
Peace and B well,

OK..here is the deal. Be a woman and be up front. Write your letter of resignation and give 2 weeks notice. If you don't, they will bad mouth you to anyone who wants to hire you again. No need to lie. Just be mature about it and say you're quitting. Take your letter to the personnel/human resources department. If they ask why, say you got a better offer at another company near your family. Get some back bone, honey. There are always hard-asss bosses out there no matter where you go.

send her an e-mail of your resignation and then print it out and hand it to her directly. give it to her the day before she leaves on her vacation. that way she won't have much time to manipulate you. do your two weeks and then leave.
depending on where you live, this may not be necessary. in most states a 2 week notice is not necessary. it is a professional courtesy but not mandatory. you can quit at any time without reason and you can get fired at any time without reason.
if it were me and i just couldn't stand being around her, i would just tell her i quit and never come back.

Try talking to her or if you already have a job lined up then put it in writing. If she just won't accept it then go above her...be sure to let them know what the problem is and be honest. If that isn't an option then once you have start the other job just go. BUt be sure to keep a copy of your resignation so it doesn't backfire on you somehow...just in case.

You should explain your difficulties and reasons for quiting to your boss. Be open and frank, hell, you're quitting. What is she going to do fire you! Write the letter of resignation and hand it to her. I would always give two weeks notice but that could be your vacation time if you have it. Leave on good terms, never burn bridges... Steve J

I think it comes down to the money that you may be owed in the form of vacatoin time. If you leave without giving proper notice, they could likely try to screw you out of this $$$. But if you do it the right way, you should recevie what is entitled to you (vacation pay).
...but if your that miserable, don't go back, you'll find something else and never look back.
Good Luck

Find another job first (always find another job firs) but dont use them as a ref. and then give your two weeks notice :)
Ive been in the same position as you. Just do it because otherwise youll be stuck there.

I think you should give your two weeks notice and then go. I had a boss that tried to not let me leave, but you have to be firm. And of course you have to be responsible. IT will look bad if you aren't.

In the state of Florida, an employer can fire you at will. You also have the right to leave your employment at will; however, if you leave your employment, you will not be qualified for unemployment compensation. Therefore, I would suggest that you try to secure another job just before you leave your present employment, which it's my understanding you have to leave.

she isn't being considerate with you at all. You shouldn't care if things are easy for her. Just do what is best for you and won't come back to bite you later.
