Proper Etiquette, leaving a job for a new one
Posted on 1/20/14 at 9:39 am
Posted on 1/20/14 at 9:39 am
Currently working a job doing night shift work. Course load this semester is a lot more than the past, and I feel like I won't be able to handle it. I'm looking for an on campus job, and from a few friends that are in it, spots are filling up quickly, and they want workers to start immediately.
If the opportunity comes, and I'm required to make the decision of taking the job, do I give my two my two weeks notice? There's absolutely no way (literally, no way) I would work here again in the future, so I don't have to worry about burning a bridge. I'm just stuck in a hard place where I don't want to screw them over, but I have to take an opportunity if it comes.

Do the right thing and leave a 2 week notice... don't burn bridges if you don't have to

Do what you can do. It's not like they can do anything to you for quitting with little to no notice.

I'm going to have to end up quitting this job eventually, that's why I'm looking for a new one.
I could be stuck without a job completely if I don't take it the job (if I get it
)

You never know when you will need a reference or something else from a previous employer.

never say never. but if you don't need a reference then I'd say just make up a school excuse once you have the on-campus position.

I wouldn't request a reference from this company, FWIW

definitely take the job, i'm just saying if you're ABLE to, give a 2 week notice cause you never know if you may need something from them in the future. Sure, now you say you wouldn't and you would never go back, but honestly you never know what'll happen in the future. I've burned a bridge in the past and it came back to bite me in the arse.

tell them to kiss your arse and suck your dick. You've fricking hated working for these clowns and moving on to greener pastures is a blessing. Make sure you drop in phrases of "how you'll be making more money than working this shite arse job" into your final conversation with your boss.
Kick over the water cooler as you leave

Give your notice if you can. If you can't, go talk to your boss about it. You never know when your name might come up in conversation. Its a small world.

You don't understand dude, its not great money, just great hours that don't conflict with school.
I'd work in a restaurant before working here again

oh.. so this is like a shitty just to get some extra money thing.. never mind then

I would always give two weeks notice...most of the time, they tell you to go ahead and quit coming to work right away....
Posted on 1/20/14 at 9:46 am to GEAUXmedic
Not really extra money..its a solid income (40 hours a week). Just can't handle it anymore.
Posted on 1/20/14 at 9:46 am to VermilionTiger
If your not able to give them 2 weeks, give them as much notice as possible and explain your situation. If your current boss is a decent human being then he will understand.

Just pretend, OK? You want these dicks to feel really shitty about you leaving

It would be nice to leave a two week notice but ultimately this is just a college job and you have to do what you have to do
