I Need To Quit My Job Without A Two Week Notice But What Should I Do?

I am currently working a job where I received a write-up. I am in a management trainee program and I know that I am not going to stick with the company for a long period of time. I feel to ,being brutally honest, that my boss is biased against me and my boss constantly talks to me in a condescending manner, yells at me, and degrades me in front of the people I am supposed to manage. I am in a industry that is very customer service oriented and requires customers yelling at me and I also get yelled at when I try to seek answers to some of the questions I try to ask of management. I used to love my job but now I am so stressed out at work that unfortunately the stress I bring home and around my loved ones has had detrimental affects on my personal relationships (i.e my significant other, my family, and friends). This amongst other things has not only affected my perceptions on the job, but also has allowed me to develop a pessimistic outlook on my personal life.
I have the next three days off, but as much as I don’t want to quit for the sake of some of the people whom depend on me at work, I feel extremely uncomfortable at work where everyday I get more and more stressed. What should i do? I want to be professional and give two weeks notice, but with the amount of stress I get, I want to to leave today but also want to try to minimize the damage I cause. I feel as if I am trying to weigh the pro’s and con’s between whats best for me personally and whats best for me professionally.

  1. No matter how you feel, brace yourself and give the two weeks notice. This way, you never have to explain why you left with no notice. As a manager, not being able to deal with all of this in a prospective employer’s eyes is a huge minus. Keep in mind, the prospective employer never needs to hear about the lack of professionalism, etc. You chose to leave because [insert neutral reason here]. Warning, when you do give your notice, be prepared to tell them then why you want to leave. You don’t have to be as specific as you were here, but enough to let them know it isn’t the right environment for you. Also, be prepared for them to possibly kiss your rearend. This doesn’t make them a better employer or one that will improve, just makes them desperate. So, give the notice. I have been there, believe me. But one negative move can impact your resume and your hiring potential.

  2. I once felt the same as you. I found another job and gave my current boss a two week notice. I was scheduled to begin work at my new job in two weeks. My boss told me if I was going to quit get my s*** and go now.
    Most companies do not give a damn about employees. When they get ready to fire you, how much notice do you get?

  3. I can relate to where you are coming from. But one thing for sure you should give your 2 week notice that way you will not leave the program in a bind and your fellow works. Plus, you never know when you might run into some of the same people and you don’t want them to remember you as someone who just ups and quits. But what you might want to do is to go to EO to make a complaint that way they will not do the same thing to someone else. Once you have put in your two weeks notice then maybe it will be easier for you to let them know why you are quitting. A good supervisor should NEVER correct and manager in front of his/her employees it makes them lose respect for the manager. Well good luck and get out now being you are not happy. You will be a better manager when you are happy but, give your 2 week notice.
