I dont just want to put a letter on her desk telling her I'm handing in my notice but at the same time I'm not really sure how to just tell her I want to leave She has no idea that I have even been looking for a job.

it appears your close to your boss.  what i would do is have lunch with her, or just talk with her... and let her know your situation... tell her that you found another job.  then tell her what you like about that other job... then tell her why its hard leaving your current job... then tell her what you like about the job you currently have.  if you do this in order, it will put her in a positive mental frame of mind and you wont need to worry about upsetting or leaving people that you got to know.

Just go ahead and ask for the reference letter. Ask her if she could have it ready by your last day. If she said she would give you one, you shouldn't feel weird about asking for it. Most employers are happy to give reference letters. I do it all of the time when my students or workers decide to move on.

Any notice is better than no notice at all. Even though you may never go back to that job again, please have enough common courtesy to inform your employer.

Hmm...Write up a nice resignation letter, stating how much you have enjoyed working at his firm, your regret at needing to resign, your reasons for leaving, etc. If possible, offer to train your replacement.\n\nIn your situation, the sooner you tell him, the better. That way, he will have more time to hire and train a suitable person before your departure.

You should check your employee handbook to see if there are any procedures  set forth regarding resignations.  So far as I know, there is no requirement for you to say why you are leaving and I sure wouldn't volunteer a reason.  Before you mention your resignation to anyone else, tell your boss first and do it in private. You should put your resignation in writing.  Just say you are resigning effective July    , 2006.  Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of your company for the last      years or monhts  or set up a meeting with him with the reason being a personnel matter.  Gather all of your strength and be pleasant to your boss and all of your colleagues and don't say anything negative to anyone about your boss. I don't know how long you've been there.  If your boss coerces you to give a reason, say your taking a little break for the summer and don't say anything more and keep saying it.  Practice before hand if you must.  Take a lesson from Star Jones Reynolds--she surprised Barbara Walters in front of a gazillion viewers with her resignations and Barbara felt blindsided.  It doesn't matter how bad the circumstances. You don't want to embarrass or anger (and it wouldn't take much with this guy) someone who has been your boss.   Good luck in your future.  Don't be surprised if he says you don't have to stay for the 2 week notice period.  So, expect the unexpected and be calm.  You are in charge this time.

Going back to your contract, you said it doesn't mention a method of resignation, but you didn't say if the contract states if you're required to be there x amount of time.  Pour over it very carefully.  We cannot give you a definitive answer without actually knowing every word in your contract, so it wouldn't matter if someone who answered was familiar with the law or not.\n\nAs far as walking in and quitting tomorrow, it's simply just poor business etiquette to not give an employer any notice of resignation.  It only makes you look bad, especially for any future references.  Any decent new employer would respect the fact that you need to give notice to your current employer.

If your boss cared why you are leaving then they will be surprised that you are leaving and will inquire on the reasons behind that. you can then tell him that your job can no longer accommodate your needs. You tried your best to work it out, however it has been made clear that your job has not accommodated your situation. So you feel that you must leave either in search of one that can or to handle the situation at home before you can return to the work force. \nGood luck with the situation.

You have no legal obligation to inform an employer that you are job hunting, but as far as being fair and professional, a lot depends on your relationship with your boss, your reasons for leaving, and whether by telling him it's possible he may make you an offer to stay that you would possibly accept.  Once you accept a new job, I would certainly give at least 2 weeks notice to your old boss and offer whatever help I could to help transition the new employee.

Just tell her the truth and if she begins to go off, just leave.  You don't have to worry about seeing her anymore if you quit so who cares what she thinks.  Or you can stand your ground and when she begins to go off just say, "Look!  This is exactly why I am quitting.  I deserve to be treated with respect and any manager that runs a respectable business would know that it is inappropriate to humiliate an employee in front of other coworkers.  As for you constantly accusing me of theft without any proof...some people would consider this harassment and grounds for your dismissal."  That should shut her up.  Good luck.  I've had one too many bosses the same way.

you should tell them you don't appreciate them disrespecting you and especially in front of people if you keep letting them do it there not going to stop. until you let them know how you feel .your just being too nice and that's OK but you have feelings too . tell them to treat you like they want to be treated ,they shouldn't threaten your job either that's not very professional .she could lose her job also  and start taking your lunch i would just do my job and go home you dont need friends like them .

they're co-workers.  not your friends.  you don't have to necessarily explain yourself.  but, like the others mentioned, the printer is distracting, and tell them they're welcome to use that cubicle.\n\neither that, or just tell them the voices in your head said to move to the other office, and you'd rather move instead of go postal on them.  see if they agree.

Very proud of people like you! If i were that girl i would be so happy for someone to let me know before i ruin my life even more. there needs to be more people like you. I would for sure get the message to her asap. But do it without him knowing of course, because your going to want to keep your job. You need to make a new email address and make a new name and everything nothing that has to do with who you are. And find out her email address. Use this "fake" email to send to her letting her know what is going on, and explain how you know for sure what he is doing. Dont give out that you work with him and that hes your boss, that too much information. Just tell her what you know about him cheating. And see what she does. Thats all you really can do. Send this email at home not at work. And dont give your real name, use the one you use at for your fake email. And just use that email for typing her that message and only for her. You dont want to send anyone any emails besides her, or someone will figure out its you. After wait for a week to see if she responds to you, if not write her once again, this time just asking her if she got the email and to write back letting you know if she got it or not so you will stop writting her. After she writes you back, thats all you can do, its up to her to make her descion you did all you can do. Than just delete everything and earse that email, and never use it again.

well first off...there's no such thing called a polite way...you don't have to worry about that...as long as you are clearing a point that is making you UNCOMFORTABLE then it's totally OK...cause in the end you don't wanna have to deal with the same thing that is bothering you each day at work...right!!!\n\ntell her what you just wrote to us..."that you don't feel it's appropriate to discuss these matters with her"...see, I'm quoting you! there's nothing wrong with that...cause you are totally right..cause it is none of your business...you can tell her that you really feel uncomfortable and that you know she's a great person and that she would understand!\n\nbelieve me it might not be a big deal as it seems :) you are not being not nice...you are being diplomatic!

Id ask about it.  Most new employee paperwork says something to the effect of: "And anything else we ask you to do..." on it.  So you may have to attend.  That said, I'd tell him you are busy with pre arranged commitments you can't get out of.  Don't give details, just stop there. Ask him/her if it's 'required' to keep your job.  Just come out and ask.  Sadly though, it all really depends on what kind of boss you have.

Yes just kindly tell her that you are busy alot and don't really have much company over at least for right now. Just put the skids to her..i hate it when people put you into this position, sometimes people are really pushy...

It is proper to give you former employer a two week notice that you are leaving.  That means in order to start at the new job on June 12th, you must give your current employer notice today (Friday 5/26/06.)\n\nI think it sounds okay, the new boss is probably just a bit anxious to get you started.  Basically, you are his new purchase & he wants to show your stuff.  A quick phone call to the new boss explaining that you want to give ample time to your current employer will show your integrity and loyalty to a job.  I think the new boss will understand.  If he doesn't understand then he is someone you don't want to work for or with.  I would not say anything to your current job UNTIL you talk to the new boss.  If the new boss doesn't return your phone call today, then keep pushing the 2 weeks from the date you speak to the new boss.\n\nIt is always a bit scary when making a change.  Just trust your instincts, pray you are making correct decisions & don't burn any bridges, especially in the workforce.  Word gets around fast and if you burn a bridge you could get a bad reputation.  Employers in the same field get to know each other & talk.  \n\nPlus keep in mind that you do have a signed piece of paper stating the new job offer.  Save that paper, God forbid anything would happen, you can use it in your defense.
