I'M LEAVING!!!!

[Miss_Stress]

Yes, I am LEAVING the Cesspit of Doom!!! I put in my week's notice tomorrow No more horrid manager! No more rude vile customers! No more picking up after people! No more fielding stupid questions! No more aching feet! No more!

Do you have another lily pad to jump to, or are you going into business for yourself? Tell us more! What prompted you to leave now? Inquiring minds (and general busybodies) want to know!

Amen. Details, please.

I have a part-time training contract with a solicitor's firm 3 days a week for 5 times the salary I would receive at the job I am in now.

sweet action! that is awesome that that's even still possible in today's craptacular job world. Less work for more pay... wait. You don't have to kill anyone, do you?

"In today's craptacular job world", is that really a non-starter?

[Trishlovesdolphins]

Hooray! That's great news!

[Kristev]

Fantastic.

[Peppergirl]

and

I am so very, VERY happy for you!!!


*Now excuse me whilst I go mutter in the corner about needing to update my own resume*

[Miss_Stress]

Thanks everyone! I'm really nervous about giving in my notice though...and I don't know why!!!!

Know what? Give it to 'em and let 'em have it with both barrels. If they ask you why you're leaving say, "The customers. 99% the customers." Then elaborate. Or just walk out. And, I'd like to follow in your footsteps. Yaaayyyyy for you!!! I am so glad because your customers make me mad.

I'd start by saying, "I am hereby giving notice of leaving your employment, because - " and then go through all your posts here and list each and every event. That should make for a little light bedtime reading.

WOOHOO! That is awesome news! Congratulations!

I couldn't have said it better myself!

Change is always hard. You're going to be doing something completely different, and you want to be successful. That produces a normal sense of excitation and anxiety. Consider it a good thing; it will motivate you to do a good job. Once you get started things should get better.

I strongly urge Miss Stress NOT to do either of these things. It is completely unproductive to burn your bridges behind you. Instead be honest and tell them the new job is an opportunity for you to advance your career goals. HR will understand that, and you will be listed as eligible for rehire. You'll still need to put this job on your resume for awhile until you get established in your new field.

They make me mad too! You just wait until my last day...no more nice Miss_Stress!

I called the Boss today to make sure she got my notice. I got the short and sharp treatment. Boo effing hoo!
