The only way to avoid having a bad boss, or office politics is to go into business for yourself. I would just avoid contact with the office brass altogether, and just go about my work to maintain tranquility.

Give more than two week notice this gives them time to get a replacement for you. The boss will understand that your doing what's best for your career by leaving.

1/2 hour early is good.\n\nI am chronically early :-))

I think that looking busy is actually harder work than just doing your job, and the time doesnt half drag. If you're gonna not work then go the whole hog, put your feet on the desk and tell your boss you're having an 8-hour break. Or just go home.

Forget going before work.\n\nGo after you get done at work, take your gym bag with you.\n\nIt helps avoid the rush hour traffic home.

Simply say "I regret to inform you, but I must resign from my current position. My last day will be_____. I will gladly help with the pursuit and training of a replacement until that time. I appreciate the experience this firm has given me." It's usually best if you don't put a reason in writing, as it's your right to quit without cause....and anything you say will only annoy your boss, or get you in some kind of legal trouble. If asked, say you got a better offer, or say you were looking for something that provides more of a challenge. You may find your boss will give you a raise to keep you.

If your job is so great, I would reconsider leaving. Thank you notes are very nice though, I have never heard of that.

It's no fun to quit really....\n\nHave your resignation letter ready, and just tell your boss.  Say thanks for the opportunity, but I'm making a strategic career move.  No complaining, no explaining.\n\nNo one will ever fault you for taking a better job!\n\nCongratulations!!!!!

I would like to gradually start Mondays.  If you could start work a little later and have to time get back into the work mode... OH and no crisis would happen once you get to the office.  It would be a day of getting things rolling on a good path for the week.

yes ... always have been ... I get in to work about 8:20-8:30 ... I'm supposed to be here at 8 ... it doesn't matter if I left the house 30 minutes earlier ... I would still get here late ... sigh ... \n\nI'm lucky that I have a relaxed office and that I can put in hours as needed ... sometimes its 8 hrs a day others are 10 hour days ... it all balances in the end

Do'nt resign before you get another job.

Well, it is usually Before you leave, but maybe because of the summer and people on vacations, it's the best date to get the most to go?\n\nDon't sweat it.  Take it for the nice gesture that it is and say thank you.  Hopefully it's a good date for you <smile>\n\nGood Luck on your new job!

the last place i left, i wrote a letter that stated my real reasons for leaving. my boss cut my hours because i took vacation when it was "inconvienent for her" i had seniority over everyone including my boss. i felt i should have been able to take vacation when i wanted to. you should write the letter with the exact reasons for your leaving. maybe they don't know what's going on or why they can't keep help and maybe they'll realize the error of their ways if you let them know exactly why u are leaving.

emotional instability, "leave of absence" situations\n\ncheck with your employee handbook or boss, cause it really depends on your job.

First and foremost you need to be good enough for someone to notice you.  If you want to leave school early to become eligible, you have to have people asking if you're going to leave early -- if they arent asking, then dont bother announcing it.
