I was planning on giving a 2 week notice in a couple of weeks or a month or so. I work in a small 4 person agency. I already felt badly about my decision b/c boss is a great woman and she paid training and all, but I don't like this job and am looking at other options.
Well, today I learned that the other gal here is going to go work for another company...she hasn't given her notice yet, but cannot turn down the other job, her personal reasons.
Now I am thinking her staff will end up cut in half, and during the summer job season where there are more jobs than workers...
I wanted to wait about a month before giving a notice, but now don't really know what is going to happen...
Thoughts?

I believe if your as honest with your boss as you are here, regarding how much you appreciate her training you and your concerns, but also let her know you don't feel its a good fit, I sure if she's half as good a boss as you say, she will appreciate your honesty. Perhaps you could even work something out that you work until she finds someone else. Hope this helps! Good luck.

You really need to think about yourself and your family. Think about it, you are putting a job that you hate in front of your own feelings. I am in the same boat. I work for a small company and one girl is about to leave and another is on maternity leave right now. I have a job offer at a bigger, better company with an excellent compensation package. I am thinking about myself and what is best for my family. Trust me, it is hard for me to go in and tell my boss that I am leaving. If she is a good boss, she will understand and will be happy for your decision.

The heartless answer is to go ahead and give notice on your schedule. If the company had to cut costs, they wouldn't wait for it to be a good time for you, so you don't have to wait for them.
But if you don't already have another job waiting on you, you could be kind enough to let them know that you are going to leave, but can work until they find a replacement for both of you. You leave on great terms, and don't leave them shorthanded during the busy months. Hopefully they will take you seriously and start working on a replacement for you. By leaving your departure date open, they may drag their feet, in which case you will have to leave them to fend for themselves.

U know.........u cant worry about what the other person is doing. U need to talk w/your boss and let her know you're not happy in this job you're doing. Perhaps she'll offer more money as an incentive to stay, but ultimately it's your decision.

Well, it is always a good quality to be considerate to others, but you can not plan your life according to what others want or will do. I suggest you stick to your own plan of telling your boss 1month before.
Good luck

i would make sure you have another job before you quit,
also try talking to your boss, maybe you can get a bonus if you stay and help out through the summer...or maybe you could help her out part time

You have to do what you believe is in your best interest. Do not worry yourself about your employer's status. Your employer would not worry about your status if it came down to sacking you or any other employer if the revenues of the company indicated that one or more employees had to go. Business is business.
