Quitting my job tomorrow without notice
#10090765 - 04/01/09 10:19 PM (14 years, 11 months ago) |

Im 18 and have 2 jobs. Basically tomorrow when I get off from Job A I am going to go to Job B, pick up my check, and somehow quit im just not sure how.
I''ve been working for about 3 months and it is a small business with about 10 employees. The owner, manager, and another worker will be there. I feel really bad about not giving a notice, but continuing to work there after letting them know I am quitting is not an option.
Any ideas about how to go about this? I dont really know what approach to take and im not gonna enjoy it because again, i feel bad. I dont like being a dick. Im thinking about handing the owner an envelope with a resignation letting but i feel kinda cheesy doing that considering im 18 and working like 25 hours a week at a small business. Its not like im leaving some sort of corporate career.
And to anyone telling me not to quit without notice, its already gonna happen and im not changing my mind so there is no point in telling me.

Just tell them you're sorry that you're leaving but it's something that you need to do.

Why is giving advanced notice that you're quitting not an option?

Starting a bad track record early in your career.........there is reason you feel like a dork for doing it ,its a dork move,I have nothing to tell you to make you feel better,all I can say is that is one less reference you will have for the next job.
But if you are set on that action ....be a man and walk in and tell them the truth,you will only make it worse if you try to lie,take it from someone alot older and who has been on both sides of the situation,they will se right thru the lies.
Just remember the reality of the situation is you are quitting last minute and probably will leave that person in a bind ,there not going to be happy...that or you are shit employee and he will be glad you quit.....you will know the answer when you confront him ,by his attitude.
There is no magical get out of work free words you can use ,you are pulling a dork move ,so be prepared to suffer the results of your actions.

hahah i like some of these responses i just wish i could do some of them without feeling to bad at the moment. I know i would look back and laugh tho.
Whats anyones take on this idea. Walk in, get my check from the office where he is gonna be, hand him an envelope and just be like here this is for you say bye and walk out. The letter will be like im sorry about quitting without notice blah blah blah but im going through from family/personal issues that I would rather not explain and I unable to continue working at this time. Thank you for the opportunity blah blah blah

I wont agree or disagree with anything you've said. However, my mind has been made and I am past that point. Now i am just trying to do something i know is a dick move in the least shitty way i can.

Give 2 weeks notice.
It will bite you in the ass later, maybe.
Extra 2 weeks can't hurt, earn more $$.

No dude, you're being a dick, and you won't even justify it to rando internets.
So far in this thread I've learned these things:
1) You're a dick.

Well quit then.
There's leaving a job and there's quitting, if you have decided to quit... do it.
If you didn't really like the people, do it over the phone.

Don't be a dick dude.
Go in and say that you're pursing other things. You should give a 1 week minimum notice though.
