In the last couple days i've been trying to leave my current job. my 1st attempt i was giving notice but it didn't work my boss was talking me out of my choice telling me i couldn't leave. 2nd attempt i got little harsh and started packing my things and couple coworkers saw this and started to panic and called my boss and told him the situation We then speak and discuss why i'm leaving he was saying i wasn't being rash on my thinking that i needed some time away to clear my mind to come back with empty mind - so was told to go on leave of absense. The major delma i have now is i took job offer at new Company which i start on the 1st of October. I reallly didn't want to mention that it was cause i got an offer else where because in the past i've had offers that i use to leverage bump in my salary. If i mention that they would say i'm taking advantage of the company for my own greed. What does one do at this point ? I'm totally lost

Do not stay at this job. It sounds like you're determined to leave, so you should. You don't owe these people anything. You maybe close friends with some of them, but it's a job and not your family. Don't let them guilt you. You need to look out for yourself.
Write a letter of resignation and hand it over on Monday.

This isn't a slave nation. They can't force you to stay in a job that you don't want to be in. They are manipulating you -- don't let them. You've told them you are leaving. Go in on Monday take home with you only the few items that you truly want or need. Send an e-mail to your boss Tuesday morning and tell him you quit. Don't speak on the phone or in person with him. The worst that could happen is that they hold onto your last paycheck and refuse to turn it over to you. You can sue them in small claims court for that. Otherwise -- good luck on your new job -- you deserve it.

Well, you are going to have to quit one of the jobs - either your new one or your old one.....
If you want to quit your existing job, and you don't care about how things end; use all of your vacation up, and then quit showing up. They should get the point.
If you want to quit your new job, just send in a letter saying your current situation has changed, and you can not accept the position right now.
If you truly can't muster the words properly, maybe draft a letter before going into work.

Walk and take the new job. You don't really owe the company you are working for now anything and you certainly do not have to continue working for them if you do not want to.
