Turn in your two weeks using the disability as a crutch. Some employers will wave the two weeks for those reasons and they still might give you a decent reference. \n\nYou could always tell them the truth that you are suffering from anxiety at the workplace and turn in your two weeks. They may try to resolve the problem before it's up and you may not have to leave.

First if you want to quit your job have one already waiting on you to start. If you feel that you just don't want to drag yourself into that same old job anymore then start looking for a new one. Once you have your starting date set up give notice to your old one. Be happy.

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!!!!!

You have to give it a while, let things settle.\nThe first few months are always the worst!\nTell someone ( a boss) if you have a specific problem.\nStill, if you feel it is a total waste why did you apply?\nMust have been something? even a wage is good when you have none. \nThen think.. will this get you anywhere you want to go? The skills you get make you a better employee for your next job - they are right in that.\nIf youy just quit then, depending on your hopes for you future, it will not encourage other employers.\nJust to balance this answer, I you are really really cheesed off with the job then get out. The boss will see your attitude and you will not do yourself any favours.

Yeah, that sux when that happens. Try to schedule your vacation when no other holidays are occurring.\nOr, go in on a Friday and tell them you are taking your 2 week vacation starting next Monday and, you are giving your 2 week notice of quiting too.\nI've done that and it is the BEST way of leaving.

Unless you have a contract, you are an "employee at will."  What your employer is telling you is that they want you gone, and would fire you except they'd have to pay unemployment for you.\n\nIt's time to move on.

Tell your employer that you will resign, if they will agree to pay unemployment.\n\nThen tell the unemployment office that you were laid off. You will then get benefits.\n\nTake care,\nTroy

I'll assume quiting is not an immediate option.  Otherwise you would have probably done that already.  So, I would suggest you use any down time you have to work on "your plan".  Your plan for getting the job you would most enjoy.  The plan will no doubt include financial goals, education goals, and maybe relocation goals.  \n\nThen set a time-table for yourself.  And maybe some milestones at which point you would reward yourself with something special.  Then, everyday concentrate on how well you are doing against your plan.  \n\nBefore you know it, you will have completed your plan and heading to a new situation.\n\nBest of luck.

The 2-weeks notice is not a law.  But it is very often written in to contracts.  Plus, as someone else said, it is polite to give your employer some notice so that they won't be left 'high and dry' when you leave.  If you want a good reference, being polite and caring about your employer is a good first step.\n\nAlso, if you do give notice, some employers will tell you that you can leave right away, if they don't need the notice.  Or, they might even fire you that day.  Or, as in my experience, they might really need you to stay, and keep putting you on the schedule, even after the 2 weeks is up.  At some point, you have to just stop coming back.  There's no way to know how your employer will respond, but all you can do is to do the right thing, and hope they will too.  \n\nOf course, if you really hate your job and your boss, and you didn't sign a contract, and you will never care about a reference from them, perhaps you just want to quit today.  In that case, there's really nothing stopping you!

you have to talk directly to your boss, do not send a letter it would make it formal and discourteous specially when taking into account the kind of relations you have with him.\ni would suggest you ask your boss for the notice period he thinks he needs till he gets a replacement. this is the least you can do if he was that good to you and your family. assure him that you would give whatever training needed to the replacing employee or that you would be available anytime they need you or need any information from you.\nbe honest about your reasons for leaving, if he has been that caring so far, i guess he would remain!\ngood luck

Dear Sir:\n    I am leaving employment as of  xx/xx/xxxx.  \n                 Sincerely yours,\n                      xxxxx\n\nKeep it brief.  If you want to leave a reason, you can but it's often better to say nothing.

Tell your new boss you have to finish out your time because it's the right thing to do.  They should admire you for that.\n\nIf not then tell your old boss that you're going to lose the other job and that you are sorry to let the down.\n\nJust be honest.  Don't look for excuses or sneaky ways to get out of it.

No.  Would you stay in a 'lover' relationship you don't like?  Participate in a club whose values you don't care for?  A job is no different.  You said you lost respect for the company but need the job.  You need the money...not the job.  Either quit and look for another job or discreetly look for another job while still employed with them.

Absolutely not.  It's sad, but you have to play hardball in the job market.  If they want gaurantees, they should offer you a contract.  Employers never ask for a contract with you because they want the option to dump you the second it's inconvenient to have you around. The flip side of this is that you are fully within your rights to leave whenever you want.  You don't have to give two weeks notice either. That's the way the job market works.

write a letter of resignation.  it should state the current date, the last date you will be working, and thank them for the opportunity to work there.  then ask your supervisor if you could speak to them privately.  explain that you have enjoyed your time with the company but have decided to accept an offer from another employer.  tell them the last day you are able to work.  thank them for the experiences and education you have gotten there.  offer to assist in training your replacement before you leave.  hand them your letter.  good luck, remember to be careful what you say.  you never when your current boss will leave the company and possibly be your boss again.
