resignation right after leave of absence- lame?

Give them only the required notice (usually only 2 weeks) - you only need to give more if you want to keep on good terms with the people.\n\nAfter leave of absence or not, it makes no diff.

The "correct" way to resign your position is to present the letter of resignation to your immediate supervisor in person.  If that is absolutely not possible it should be mailed to him or her via the postal service.\n\nRemember that the manner in which you resign may impact the reference that you are provided in the future.\n\nBest of luck to you!!

I agree with Jack.  Personally, I would quit.  However, you state that you both like your jobs, and financially it might not be an option.\n\nTHere must be times when 2 people take time off - such as around the holidays.  So, there is a precedent.\n\n\nYour manager is being awful, indeed.  There is absolutely no misconduct.  Is there a human resources manager / department in your company?  I would speak with them.  If there is no such thing, perhaps you can speak with your manager's manager or the owner of the company. \n\nYou should also put your request in writing and "inform" him that you are taking the time off.  Don't ask for it, tell him -- "This is to inform you that I will be away from the office and on vacation from  xx/xx/06 to xx/xx/06.  Should you need during my absense, please don't hesitate to ask for my assistance in training a coworker, yourself or temporary employee prior to the start of my vacation."\n\nLeave a paper trail, and don't put anything rash in writing.

Are you keeping tabs?  You should document everything!!!  The day will some when you are asked why you are so unhappy?  If you really want to leave then, they best time to look for a job is while you have a job!  \nBest of luck to you!

First, I would not say that you were fired. You weren't, exactly. You resigned and as long as you kept a copy of that termination letter you gave them, you shouldn't doubt that part of it. It feels icky when you think you've been fired.\nThen, due to the fact that you did have a legitimate reason to be away from work (health, der) they should cut you a little slack. However, it can't hurt to say that you are willing to start from the bottom and work your way up. Subbing, etc. As long as you can have that chance, and get your foot in, you can build trust and show that you are a worthy hire.\nWhy wouldn't you hire you? You shouldn't think that either! Did you want this to happen to you? Wouldn't you want a break?\nThat's all you need now. A chance, a break.\nGood luck!

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.

Timely.\n\nI leave my job, and my career of 26 years, on the 15th December.  I no longer love it.\n\nWhy didn't I leave earlier? \nA desire for financial security (I'm still not quite sure what else I'm going to do, and my skills are quite specialised).  A perception that what I was doing was hardly the worst of jobs: well paid, normal hours, socially useful...\nA strong possibility that my problems were due to depressive illness, not my job, and that the main thing was to keep working while addressing my medical condition.\nA fear of being unemployed, and how that would be seen by family and friends...\n\nNow, what would I love doing that I can actually make a living at, seeing as I can't quite retire, yet?\nI'm about to find out.

No. \n\nThe long answer...\nNothing was available in my area of study when I finished school so I took the job that paid relatively well.\nIt's a physical job with little mental activity which leads to pains and boredom.\nIt's a lousy environment which compounds the resentment built up over the years... now there's a feeling of being trapped with old skills.\nConstantly tackling being grateful for the employment and being disappointed with each work day. I really shouldn't complain.\nI know it's up to me to change the situation but it's terribly difficult to leave the security of a steady income.\nI guess that's why vacations are so sweet and hobbies are important.

'RESIGNING' IS POLITE TALK FOR "YOU'RE FIRED!".

At this point, the chances of them accepting your apology and taking you back seem very slim. After all, by just not showing up, you left them in the lurch with having to cover your shifts. You should have at least told them so that they had knowledge of your leaving. However, I would learn from your mistake and move on.

The best thing to do is always leave with an option to return if necessary.\n\nSubmit something along the lines of:\n\nRe:  Resignation\n\nDear So and So:\n\nWhile I have enjoyed working with you during the time of my employment with X company; I hereby tender my resignation effective X date (make sure it is 2 weeks from the date of the letter), in order to pursue other opportunities that have been presented to me.\n\nRespectfully,

It is always more appropriate to put such a thing in writing.  And don't forget to keep a copy for yourself, in case there is ever a question about you wrote.  I'm not sure if you're leaving happily or not, but remember it can be best to not burn bridges - at worst, keep the letter neutral and to the point (I hereby give my resignation, effective on -date- - sign and date it), and at best use it as an opportunity to let them know what you appreciated most about working there, what good things you'll walk away with.  \n\nYou really never know what doors this might re-open in the future somewhere, somehow.  Even if you don't plan on going back there, supervisors move on, too, and you never know where or how you'll run in to someone.  \n\nHey, good luck in whatever you're doing next.

Nothing like the simple truth: "you need a few days off". Be assertive, it´s your vacation time.

I don't believe it should but employers will inquire about the break.  Make sure while you are taking the time off you are staying on top of the new advancements and have a good explanation (professional as possible)of why you took the time off.

you will leave a better impression to hand your supervisor a short and  sweet resignation letter\n(don't burn any bridges)

Do'nt resign before you get another job.

I give her a letter or resignation.  The last 10 months have been the most fun I've had in 16 years.  True story!  I'd had it and did not feel that it was healthy for me to put up with it.
