After working at a place for a few weeks, which sounds better when quitting?
a) Saying you're leaving because you were offered a better paying job.
VS.
b) Saying you're leaving because you feel it's not a good fit.
*Even though the real reason is B, I could just tell them that I've found a better job if that sounds better.

ya...def go with B...telling them its not the right fit doesnt sound bad at all. A company most likely wouldnt want someone working there who doesn't want to be there, so I'm sure they will respect your honesty.

I think A is better because with B it says that its not a good fit, saying this will make your boss ask questions like, why is it not a good fit, or, what can I change that will make you happier. If you do pick A and your boss asks what job you were offered, just simply make one up. Either answer would work but if you want the quickest way out of that place, option A is the option you should take.

The truth always works better. Besides, you're leaving the company, right? Then what does it matter what they think?
Even if you're worried about using them as a reference, neither reason for leaving will sound good to a new employer. I'd walk away and forget I was ever there.

Say you've accepted another position.
I don't think I'd mention pay unless specifically asked, or unless you are willing to stay if they raise you pay.
I also wouldn't say that it's not a good fit, some companies make take this personal (you don't like them and such). I really never like to leave a job on poor terms. They are better references if you leave on postive terms.

I see no reason to quit. Yahoo Answers is good therapy. It keeps me from having to think about the things that are making me sad and angry. Here's a star.

I would def. use b. I tried a once and my boss gave me a 2$ raise. I stayed for a few more months and finally told her that it wouldn't work out with my full time job and my school hours. (at the time I was working 2 jobs and going to school full time) def. use B. You don't want to sound too greedy.

Honesty is always the best policy. If you're not happy with the job or it wasn't what you expected, just explain that to your employer. Hopefully, you'll have an employer that understands and respects your honesty.

I think honesty is always the best policy so "B". You could tell them "A" but I doubt it would matter. I told a former employer that because it was the truth and all it did was make them upset. They told me "You have no loyalty" and ended up terminating me before my two week notice was up.

I'd go with telling them B - that's not an insult to them, bad fit just means it's not for you, and you aren't for the job.
I'd stay though until I found another job.

Tell them A. Nobody can get mad about you leaving for a job that pays better.
