how do i quit my job?

Question

my boss is really starting to tick me off. i don't know when i'm supposed to work and i only work 3 days. and all i really really do is wash dishes. i make shitty pay too.. $3.50 an hour! (i'm teenager) and i don't have to pay for anything, so i don't have to worry about money...

How do i quit properly? etc. please help.

Answer 1

dear miss- you really need to give your buttmunch boss a two week notice no matter how much he blows. if you just tell him to stik his crappy job and walk out , you will have a 900 pound gorilla following you around forever. it is a big black mark to quit that way. so, give the buttmunch a two week notice in writing and go about your business of working everyday. you can mlook for a better job like you deserve to have and mr buttmunch boss will be the big loser in the end. good luck sweetie

Answer 2

You are a teen, working part-time (sounds less than the minimum wage but then I don't know where you are). Don't knock washing dishes, your mom does that for you. If you have no money concerns at home, you are fortunate.

OK you want to quit properly. Write a note to your boss & sign it advising when you will be leaving and give a date and this doesn't have to be two weeks, you're a dishwasher, not an account executive in a major company. When you give it to him tell him as well and do not under any circumstances get angry. If you get angry and want to say your piece, don't do it. It will make you stronger the next time you are faced with this situation. As you are a teen it may well happen again.

When you say your "boss" is this someone who just happens to be there longer than you? Or is this perhaps the manager of the company.

Answer 3

As cheesy as it sounds, just tell him/her the truth. Say, "John, look, this isn't working out like I thought it would. I need to find a job that pays better and am interested in getting into ______" Insert whatever you're interested in, like auto mechanics, fashion, business, whatever. Then, go on to say, "I appreciate the opportunity you've given me." You know, something along those lines. If you give him 2 weeks notice, it would probably be good and give him more time to find a replacement. If you're talking about fast food, they go through employees all the time and won't be suprised and shouldn't be angry. If they hassle you, just walk out. However, it's best to start leaving jobs responsibly, with a week or two warning. In my opinion, quitting on the spot, just out of the blue, leaves you feeling a little guilty and the boss will feel resentful. It may come back to bite you a little. Personally, I would say, "Hey man, I've decided I want to become an auto mechanic (or whatever you're interested in). So I've taken a position at Joe's Auto Shop (or wherever). So, I'm giving you my 2 week notice and I appreciate you hiring me and giving me a job. It's been a great learning experience." Then just go with whatever response you get. You'll be fine. I wouldn't just disappear though. It'll make you feel like crap.

Answer 4

You should simply hand Him a "notice of intent to quit" (in other words; do it in writing~in person.) Simply tell Him that your last day will be (whatever date and you SHOULD work a week at least) from the date that you tell Him that you are quitting. You DON'T have to give a reason, but He will probably ask- it's probably best to NOT SAY that you are disgusted with Him (lol) but simply say that you've found a job with better hours, closer to home, or wanting to do something else..etc. (leave on good terms is my best advice)

This would be the proper and responsible way for you to handle "quitting" from a job as such, and this would allow Him time to replace you. You will most likely get a good recommendation from Him in the future

Answer 5

The "proper" way to quit a job is to inform your boss that you are giving him your 2 week notice. Be honest (but not emotional) and tell him why you are quitting. Tell him your last working day will be on (whatever date is 2 weeks from the day you tell him). It will be up to him to let you work the 2 weeks or not.

Good luck.

Answer 6

You can write a letter stating that it serves as your intention to no longer work there effective two weeks from then. You do your two weeks, unless they fire you first and then you leave. It's good that you want to do the right thing regardless of them doing the wrong thing with your hours! Next job, try to see if they can give you an idea of how many hours they'll be able to give you up front, if three days wasn't enough. Not much you can do about the boss ticking you off, though.

Answer 7

well congrats on taking the responsibilty to quit respectfully. Others would just not show up. I think you should write a letter of resignation and say i will work for two more weeks and thats it. More than likely he will say you don't have to and leave you to quit that day.

Answer 8

Go to you boss and say: "Mr. SoandSo. I appreciate the opportunity that you have given me here at X restaurant, but I regretfully have to turn in my two weeks notice. I've enjoyed my time here and hope to be able to use you as a professional reference in the future."

Have prepared ahead of time a written statement saying about the same thing including the final day you plan to work.

Answer 9

The proper way to handle the situation would be to talk to him about the reasons that you want to quit. He may be able to make things better so that you won't want to quit. The correct thing would be to give him the opportunity at least.

Then you should give notice. Two weeks is standard but on a dishwasher job I think a week would be sufficient.

Answer 10

Sounds like you're not appreciated around there.

Just type up a short letter addressed to your boss that says, "I regret to inform you that I have chosen to move on from my current position with your company. I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to work for you, but as of today I am giving my 2 week notice. My last day will be..."

That's it.

Good luck. I know it's scarey. Chalk it up as an experience.
