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.

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.

They gave you an opportunity to work for them. At least give them the courtesy and opportunity to find a replacement for you. Do you not understand the backlash and problems it creates for a small business owner when an employee all the sudden up and quits?

If not then you are just being a douchebag.

Yeah you gotta think of it from the owners POV, if you were in his shoes and someone did it to you how would you feel.

Pick up your check, and then tell your supervisor that you won't be coming into work anymore because you're too much of a coward to face the people you work with.

Working a job i dont like for 2 more weeks for people i dont really like isnt my idea of respect for myself. As for respect for my fellow man, not much has been shown to me from the upper employees in the last 3 months that is very deserving of my respect.

I really don't see why quitting a job on the spot is such a big deal.

People get fired on the spot all the time.
Why not quit on the spot as well?

Most places could care less.
They can have another employee tomorrow with todays economy.

So let me see if I got this right... The reason that you can't have the common decency to give the manager 2 weeks notice is because "it's just not an option".

Unless you've got something more substantial than that, I say man up, give your notice, and in two weeks you're off scot-free.

Don't be a douche
Don't fuck up your work history this early in life over petty shit.
And definitely don't just give them an envelope saying you won't be coming in to work anymore.

I recommend you seriously reconsider your situation and figure out a way to make giving notice an option.

You can even tell them that it'd work out better for you to not work those two weeks if it wouldn't be too much of a burden on them. The way you describe the situation, it sounds like they don't need you, and considering your work ethic (based on this thread), it seems pretty likely that they really don't need you.

So just level with your boss, let him know you're willing to work the next two weeks if necessary. But at least have the decency to be honest and talk to them.

I have quit multiple jobs cold turkey and it has not come back to bite me in the ass. To be honest, at 18 you are not really going to hurt your future job opportunities by leaving this small time company. You have nothing to worry about... just tell them the job is not what you expected and feel you need to try something different. It doesn't really matter what you say, you will probably never see any of them again anyway. Be a dick if you want. I kinda think about it this way. I was talking to my little brother the other day who is in middle school now. We ended up mentioning something about grades and I got to thinking. For my elementary and middle school years, my grades were pretty much meaningless looking back. Now that I am in college I have realized that only your performance in high school determines the college you can attend. You are in your "middle school" years of employment. They don't mean shit. Relax, quit the job and don't feel guilty.

lol how exactly am i messing up my work history?

I have another job, one i have had for alot longer, and i will continue to have after i quit this one.

So my resume will show no gaps in work, and will show no record of this job. I think having 1 job at a time is good enough for a resume/application.

Im pretty sure this guy isnt gonna stalk me and find out where i apply just to ruin my chances later in life. So im missing what exactly i am messing up. I dont need this reference. And i decided against the envelope. Im simply gonna get my check, then say to the manager that i am sorry but i thought could handle 2 jobs on top of class but its proven not possible and unfortunately i will no longer be able to work there. I'll give him time to say what he has to say, if he starts being a dick then ill just walk out. If im being a douche, i dont give a fuck. Too bad. Im doing whats best for me, if he cant find someone else to take over within a day or so in this economy, he shouldnt be running a business. Not to mention his other employees are stealing from him which could be sooo easily prevented but no because hes to dumb to run a smart business. Maybe if he wasnt a dick to his employees then they wouldnt steal from him and i wouldnt walk out on him. Fuck it. I dont care anymore. No one here or no one in real life will make me feel bad about this. Its a fucking job. I can get one and leave one as i please. Im not gonna waist 2 more weeks of my life where i could be more productive anyway instead of doing bullshit work for bullshit pay.

So thanks, all you guys on your moral high horses just gave me what i needed to quit cold turkey and tell them how I feel. I appreciate the help.

Yeah...thats what im talking about! Even if a future employer questions something about your work history, just have a reasonable and convincing excuse for why the job didnt work out. Fuck what the previous employers say. Its all about making the interviewer believe you and discrediting the other guy. Good luck tomorrow

Exactly,thats why you feel like shit/asshole for just quitting.
This is a excellent opertunity to man up and stand out from the crowd......ok ,so you cant give 2 weeks notice no matter what for some reason,atleast you can muster the courage to face him and tell him the truth.........

This is the worst advice I have ever heard ,from the stand point of a business owner/manager  .......
We hang out with all the other people who do the same things we do {other business owners},when we had our weekly meeting ,it might go a little something like this...........


OWNER 1:
Yeah ,I had some guy walk out on me today ,he just up and quit and was pretty rude ,he did not even exsplain why he left......:shrug:
OWNER 2 :
Well that was not nice ,who did you say that was..........
OWNER1:
His name was so and so........
OWNER2 I will have to remember that,that seems really odd with todays job markett...:shrug:



OWNER2 walks away with your name in his head and probably uses that to start his next conversation with OWNER 3 .....Yeah I was talking to so and so and he had some dick quit with no notice or excuse today.......he said the guy that quit was so and so ........by the end of the night 20 out of 40 or 50 people have heard your real name and that you quit like a chump.
Maybe you will never run into one of these owners looking for a job ,but they know lots of people that are in other businesses they interact with every day.....word gets around town pretty good.

Or it might never affect you,but one thing is for shure ,you will feel like a dud for quitting like that,I would rather have my name bouncing around with people saying good things and feel good about myself....

after all is that not why you came here and posted what you did in the first place.....in hopes of way not to feel like a chump and a quitter.

Yes ,now that I am done typing I see it,but keep in mind ,alot of other people may read this thread and it could possibly help them too.

And let me give you praise for atleast talking to the man face to face and being a man about it yourself ,you never know where the conversation might lead and what you might discover about life ........being a responsible adult changes the responses people would ordinarily give you.

tell your boss that you are putting in your two week notice but you feel uncomfortable working at wherever after you put your notice in so you would appreciate it if he let you go immediately.  ive dont it and it worked well.  i still have a good relationship with the guy so if i ever need a job he would hire me back and is a good job reference. if that dosent work just leave.  you explained your feelings on the subject and if he dosent agree whatever.

How is it a dick move?

People get fired on the spot all the time.

Quitting w/out giving notice is nothing more than firing your employer.

Nothing wrong with that

When people get fired with no notice it is usually for disciplinary reasons.

I assume you won't want to use this job as a reference? Because if you do, you'd better give them some notice.

No place is going to give you a good reference for future jobs if you just go quitting with no notice.

Not really.
I have seen people fired for simply not being liked.

If you live in an At Will state
they don't have to give a reason to fire you
they can let you go with out reason.

So if an employer can fire me, on the spot, "just because"
then I can quit, on the spot, "just because"

Like you know me.

I guess you have never had an employer that treated you like shit. Literally talked down to you and went out of their way to make your job harder. These kind of jobs are generally factory jobs. Shit jobs that people have to do to make a living. If any employer treats you like shit why give them any respect.

Respect is a two way street.

Employers that treat their employees like slaves get no respect from me.

Go work in a factory for a while and you will see where I am coming from.

I have worked at a few factory's, and to a degree most do NOT care about there employee's only there bottom line. Ive worked at one that was actually a pleasure, and they management were great people. I would still give notice as your only hurting yourself if you didn't.

And the OP didn't say that this employer was a terrible one. You logic is fucking flat out busted.

Because some employers treat their employees like shit and fire them for absurd reasons,  then employees should treat their employers without any courtesy?

QFT.

I've had two employers that treated me like shit. You aren't the "bigger man" by telling your employer that you want to resign in two weeks. If they didn't treat me like shit, I wouldn't of had to leave. Respect is earned, not given. I could care less about what happens to the employer doesn't care about me.

Quitting without notice, you won't be able to use them as a reference it will reflect badly on him.

Again, that argument doesn't really work considering we don't have evidence that his employer treats him like shit.

Seeing that the original post was yesterday, and the guy made his decision to quit today, I am guessing that it has already happened. I'm curious to see how it went....

People who live their lives in fear should just bow down and let the system fuck them I guess.

I live in a very rural state and have NEVER given notice when I quit a factory job. Not once. And have never had any problems finding another job.

So your logic is flawed.
You are making large assumptions based on fear.

Go back to page 2, he said he treats them badly. So, once again, try again. I'm pretty sure this defines this as "evidence that his employer treats him like shit"

"Maybe if he wasnt a dick to his employees then they wouldnt steal from him and i wouldnt walk out on him."

Do you read?

I live in a metro area, what's your point? I have plenty of references that would only speak good of me, and if they don't want to talk to them, they probably aren't a very good business man now are they? I highly doubt every single businessman gets together and has tea time, so, once again, I doubt it.

And niteowl, I agree with you then. If he is treated poorly he might as well quit. It would probably be smarter to try to get the reference, but it's understandable.

If by "his situation" you mean the OP then it is terrible for reference. I've made it a point to never leave a job on a sour note. The more good references I have to choose from the better, right?

If you mean "his situation" as in the employer, well it's just fucked. A small business with few employees can probably not afford to lose workers with no notice. All of the other people are going to have to make up for his hours while his boss scrambles to find a new employee all while still running the business.

There's no good reason besides his employer being a complete ass for him to leave a small business with few employees on no notice.

At 18, one minor blemish on your work record is not going to mean shit. Especially if he plans on getting a degree from an institution. I doubt it will even come back to haunt him. When I am out looking for a job with my degree next year, i am confident that my record of quitting an electrical company and a fast food joint without notice when I was 18 will mean nothing to them. In fact I have secured several other small temporary jobs no problem. Don't even think they checked my refs. Its all about making that first impression and convincing them you are a qualified and devoted employee.

Well he's 18 going on 19, not 18 going on 30.
The next job he applies for he won't have many references. He could DOUBLE his references by just staying for two more weeks.

Exactly. Plus, who knows if OP will eventually get fired from his other job. If he does, he has a gap in his work history. If I was an employer I would look at the fact that he had two jobs simultaneously at one point and that would tell me something about his level of responsibility.

I'm sorry but there's no way you can convince me sticking around for two more weeks (two fucking weeks!) is a bad idea. It has nothing to do with being scared, it has everything to do with not being an idiot.

If having 2 jobs is negatively affecting his school work, then quitting on the spot is the smart thing to do.

Taking pride in the decisions you make does not make you scared. If your employer does not respect you, you can still give them two weeks notice. If you feel like you're doing enough work to be respected then they should notice the gap in productivity you when you're gone.

Maybe I missed it, but where did he say it was having a negative impact?
In fact, I don't recall seing ANYTHING about school.
Not to mention he could go to his employer and say "I'm failing my classes and I need to devote more time to school. I plan on leaving in two weeks, but in the meantime can you cut my hours?"
His boss would probably just let him go on a positive note anyway.

This is the worst advice I have ever heard ,from the stand point of a business owner/manager  .......
We hang out with all the other people who do the same things we do {other business owners},when we had our weekly meeting ,it might go a little something like this...........


OWNER 1:
Yeah ,I had some guy walk out on me today ,he just up and quit and was pretty rude ,he did not even exsplain why he left......:shrug:
OWNER 2 :
Well that was not nice ,who did you say that was..........
OWNER1:
His name was so and so........
OWNER2 I will have to remember that,that seems really odd with todays job markett...:shrug:






What a load.
As a business owner, and generally intelligent person, if I were talking to another business owner and was told someone just up and left, particularly in this job market, I would start asking a lot of questions, instead of just assuming the guy who quit was a dick.  Who the hell just walks off a perfectly good job where the work environment is awesome and supportive for no reason?  They don't.  It's either, the job is SHIT, or the guy has internal/personal stuff to work out, and anyone who isn't brainwashed to believe that their job is EVERYTHING knows that getting your life straight is way more important than and doesn't necessarily include showing up for a stupid job.

I've had employees who have been with me since day one, who have stuck it out even when things were thin a few years ago and they weren't getting paid, because it rocks to work with me, and I'm straight up and respectful to them, and we're all family. 

I've never had anyone quit on me without notice, but I've quit on several people without notice and it's never affected my career, at any age.  I've also been stuck covering for someone else quitting without notice, and it really never bothered me, unless I was wishing I could have quit myself.

If something is killing your spirit, then just go.  GO.  Other people are judging you because they've been conditioned to believe certain things are "right" and "wrong".  You know what's best for you and ONLY you, but you'll probably feel a LOT better about yourself if you at least tell whoever, face to face, when you pick up your check, that you won't be back.  You don't need to explain yourself, in fact, it's probably better if you don't so you don't get sucked into defending your position.

Just tell them, that you've put a lot of thought into it, and you apologize for not giving notice, but you will not be returning to work.  You can say you have personal reasons that you don't wish to discuss, and let it stand at that.

You'll be fine.  What matters most, is that you are doing the right thing for yourself.

In my 25+ years of working, and having only given a notice maybe 2 times, I have never had a hard time finding a job due to my not giving notice.

So basically everyone here who claims that not giving notice will harm your chance of getting hired is utter bullshit....IME

He can no longer put down that job as a reference on an application.
I have had people up and quit without any notice and then put us down for reference and we give them a bad reference.

I can tell you, from personal experience, that I have never seen any negative results from not giving a 2 week notice when quitting a job.

Almost everyone here is just spreading fear.

Kumara, a business owner, as blown everyones theory that giving 2 weeks notice will hurt your chance of getting a job, out of the water.

Giving 2 weeks notice is not required.

Because clearly the anecdotal evidence provided overwhelming proves your point.

You've also stated that there are bad business owners as your stories about supposedly being disrespected at the workplace for no reason suggest.

(Can't tell if above post is sarcasm)

Immaturity knows no age limit ,These are the same people that make posts like, I dont know why I feel so terrible as a person,I wanna kill myself,the world suxs,my life suxs,people suck,nobody wants to hire me, etc.

I really a simple thing to understand......lots of shitty life choices .

  Unfortunatly ,we are on a website with alot of addicts who take the drugs to escape thier shitty lives and would like nothing better than to drag you down in thier shithole with them.Keep that in mind as you read these posts offerering advice.

Lots of good members here that are not that way and some of the escapists actually realize thier situations and try to tell others not to go down the same road.

That and the fact that I have never had quitting on the spot hurt my chances for employment.

Wow there is a bunch of shit slingin in this thread.

Word Kumara. the OP is a free person, he can and will do whatever he wants. the '2 week notice', who cares ive quit jobs without notice and still used em on my resume. for wage labor or jobs without prereq's i doubt they check more than one ref if any. this guy is 18, schooling, and working two jobs. thats alot. he doesn't owe anything to employer, he worked and he got paid, why waste time worrying about what happens when he's gone.

This is also a key point.  Unskilled, minimum wage jobs usually have a high turnover.

If these are the types of jobs you want to spend your life doing, then references probably won't be required.

Next time I wanna quit a job I'm just gonna burn down the office.
That way I don't have to put in my two weeks notice and if I don't get caught it won't hurt my future job opportunities :awesome:

Oh and by the way, what does school have anything to do with this? Are you assuming he's in school? Multiple people have said "Well he's working two jobs and in school" except the OP.

quitting without 2 weeks notice has never once prevented me from getting another job.

I've been listed as a job reference fr dozens of people, only two companies have ever called me to verify said persons employment.

also keep in mind that the job you are applying for is only allowed to verify that you did work there, and ask if your previous job would hire you back or not.

the company i work for now hired me back after i quit without notice and sent out a "fuck you" email to most of the other management. i flat out told the owner that the only way he could run a company was into the ground.

bottom line is, most jobs don't give a shit if you gave 2 weeks or not. if you are important to the company in a management respect, its a good idea to give notice. if not, fuck it, dont waste your time, you wont do as good of a job anyway.

You don't think business owners talk to each other?

I live in a metropolitan area of almost a million people, yet it is still almost like a small town when it comes to the business world. You piss off the wrong employer just once and you may cost yourself another job down the road inadvertently via word of mouth.





People who live their lives in fear should just bow down and let the system fuck them I guess.

I live in a very rural state and have NEVER given notice when I quit a factory job. Not once. And have never had any problems finding another job.

So your logic is flawed.
You are making large assumptions based on fear.




I'm sure that's the case for your little factory jobs. But I highly doubt you've worked in every industry there is, so you can't claim that I am wrong. For being an adult, you sure come off as an angsty kid...

Never quit a job without a notice, you will lose a reference, totally fuck up your future job opportunities, become a terrible person, and most likely end up killing yourself. It will be the beginning of the end for you. This is just a warning. Do not ruin your life. Think about this for a while, it is probably the single most important decision you will ever make.

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.


...What happened? You do it like a man,did he take it like a man? I didn't see anything in the news about "disgruntled employee kills boss"...:waits: . :popcorn: . . . . :peace:

How is it a dick move?

People get fired on the spot all the time.

Quitting w/out giving notice is nothing more than firing your employer.

Nothing wrong with that

This is the worst advice I have ever heard ,from the stand point of a business owner/manager  .......
We hang out with all the other people who do the same things we do {other business owners},when we had our weekly meeting ,it might go a little something like this...........


OWNER 1:
Yeah ,I had some guy walk out on me today ,he just up and quit and was pretty rude ,he did not even exsplain why he left......:shrug:
OWNER 2 :
Well that was not nice ,who did you say that was..........
OWNER1:
His name was so and so........
OWNER2 I will have to remember that,that seems really odd with todays job markett...:shrug:






What a load.
As a business owner, and generally intelligent person, if I were talking to another business owner and was told someone just up and left, particularly in this job market, I would start asking a lot of questions, instead of just assuming the guy who quit was a dick.  Who the hell just walks off a perfectly good job where the work environment is awesome and supportive for no reason?  They don't.  It's either, the job is SHIT, or the guy has internal/personal stuff to work out, and anyone who isn't brainwashed to believe that their job is EVERYTHING knows that getting your life straight is way more important than and doesn't necessarily include showing up for a stupid job.

I've had employees who have been with me since day one, who have stuck it out even when things were thin a few years ago and they weren't getting paid, because it rocks to work with me, and I'm straight up and respectful to them, and we're all family. 

I've never had anyone quit on me without notice, but I've quit on several people without notice and it's never affected my career, at any age.  I've also been stuck covering for someone else quitting without notice, and it really never bothered me, unless I was wishing I could have quit myself.

If something is killing your spirit, then just go.  GO.  Other people are judging you because they've been conditioned to believe certain things are "right" and "wrong".  You know what's best for you and ONLY you, but you'll probably feel a LOT better about yourself if you at least tell whoever, face to face, when you pick up your check, that you won't be back.  You don't need to explain yourself, in fact, it's probably better if you don't so you don't get sucked into defending your position.

Just tell them, that you've put a lot of thought into it, and you apologize for not giving notice, but you will not be returning to work.  You can say you have personal reasons that you don't wish to discuss, and let it stand at that.

You'll be fine.  What matters most, is that you are doing the right thing for yourself.




best advice/post in the thread IMO :thumbup:
