I absolutely cannot stand my job. Everything I do is wrong and my boss makes me miserable all the time, i get yelled at for every little thing, along with another employee. The other employee is also quitting, the reason she gave is school, but I don't go to school, so i can't use that. I'm simply putting my notice in because I hate my job to the point where it is making me sick. I don't have another job, but my husband and I can afford me not working until I find something else.
I am unsure of how to write my notice. I know i shouldn't vent it all out in the letter. And if i simply tell her I am putting my notice in without a reason, she going to demand to know why, so Im going to have to have a reason. Any suggestions on how to write it?
Thank you!

I have already tried talking to my boss about the problems, and while she listens, nothing ever changes. This is something I have to do, I get so upset that there are days where I just come home and cry because of my job. And I cant ever enjoy a day off, because of how much i dread going back the next day.

The other person is leaving for basically the same reasons I am. She is mistreated more than me. She has nothing to do with the way I am treated, shes been going through the same things as I have been with our boss. There have also been other employees that have gone through the same things, but they got sick of it and quit.

Giving enough notice is the most respectful thing. Type up a nice letter stating that you are giving your 2-weeks notice effective of this date and your last day of work will be X day. State that you have enjoyed the opportunity of working with this company or some other nice comment but you will now be moving on to other opportunities. Leaving without dishing on your bad boss is the best thing because you may need a reference from them later and you want to leave on good terms so they will give you a good reference. Good luck!

Just write a simple letter of resignation. Nothing elaborate, just putting in your two weeks notice, and the last date of employment.
If your boss asks, just tell them you are moving on to better opportunities for your family. If they persist and get upset, tell them that you do no appreciate the way you have been treated in the position and prefer to move on. Keep a calm, level head and leave it at that. If they keep pushing, tell them you prefer not to discuss it. If they keep pushing, or make snooty comments, than tell them that is exactly why you have chosen to leave. You are not treated with the level of respect and professionalism you want to work with.
But be careful not to burn any bridges. While it certainly sounds as if you never want to return to this job, you do need a good reference from them for future employment. And get your resume ready now! Start networking for something better and Good Luck!

I am sorry you are so unhappy. Personally, I would take a different approach. If I was in your position and can afford to leave without already having another job, I would wait until the other person left and then go to the bosses and calmly and rationally explain why I was preparing to leave, too. I would offer them the chance to fix my problems with them. If for no other reason than just to see what they do.
You are really in the driver's seat. Yours is the more powerful position since they will be one person short and they need you more than you need them. Might be kind of fun to see how they handle it. It is also good experience for you in dealing with adversity rather than simply avoiding it.

You submit a simple letter of resignation. One or two sentences. It does not have to state any reason nor are you required to provide one. The less you say, the better for you in the long run.
If you want to verbally say anything, just say you have decided to pursue other opportunities.

You can just type them a letter stating that you will no longer be working on _______ 2007. You don't have to tell them why.
