What is the best way to terminate your employment? Read on......?

Question

I started a new job and I am still in the 90 day grace period and well its not working out for me. I am ready to quit, how do I go about it in the most professional way?

The job isn't what I expected from the job interview, I am underpaid for most of it and not quailified for some of it. They were supposed to train me, but have failed to do so and now I am pregnant and X-mas I broke my ankle (plus had surgery on it) and it is the size of a softball from being on it all day and the ortho Dr said he wont do anything until I complete therapy on my ankle 3-5 times a week for at least 8 weeks!!!!

How do I be honest but professional about it?

BTW my husband makes enough money for me not to work, i went back because I was bored after being a stay at home mom, but now I miss it. I miss my son and now theres a second one on the way!

Answer 1

I would write a resignation letter--on your own time of course, not on company time, and hand deliver the letter to your boss. Here's a good website about info on it-- http://jobsearch.about.com/od/resignationletters/qt/resign.htm

Answer 2

I believe you should be blunt and not be around the bush. Just go to work a little earlier and talk to your manager and just let them know it isn't what you expected and tell them that it isn't really healthy 4 u right now to work on your feet. Put in a notice and you're done, it''s not like you have grown accustomed to working there. What ever you do good luck!!!!!!

Answer 3

Well congratulations on your baby on the way (knock wood :) Perhaps you can merely give two weeks notice and mention how your ankle is still giving you difficulty and that you would like to spend more time with your son.

Answer 4

I think I'd find another job 1st then give my 2 weeks notice.

Answer 5

just give them your resignation in writing and tell them your job isn't working out for you .
