Job question

Hey ladies. I need your opinion/advice.

I'm fixing to start another job, where I'm working from home, and I can make my own hours. I was wondering, should I still put in a 2 weeks notice at my current job, since I'm hardly getting any hours, if so, what should I say to the store manager about why I'm leaving? 

 I've never been good with confrontation, and would she just probably tell me to not bother finishing my 2 weeks? TIA ladies. :)

 

Re: Job question

  • Always give 2 weeks notice, never burn bridges.

    Just turn in a written notice, you don't have to explain why or for what reason you are leaving.

  • Should I put, "I'm giving you a 2 weeks notice." and thats it, I've never actually have had to do it before. ;/
  • I am a big stickler about giving two weeks no matter what as you never know when you might need a contact again or when you might be in a situation where you need this person to give you a good reference.

    If you can make your own hours and work from home then going in for a few hours over the next two weeks shouldn't be too big of a deal.

    Please allow this letter to serve as notice of me vacating my position at (Company Name). My last day of availability will be (whatever date your last day will be.) Thank you for the opportunity you have provided over the last (however long you have worked there.)

    Me too! Two weeks notice would be a good call.

     Just say,

    Name, Position, Organisation Name and Address (each on a separate line)

    Date

    Dear (line manager name - eg., Mr Smith, or first name if appropriate)

    Please accept this as formal notice of my resignation from the position of (your job title and site/department/division as applicable), with effect from (normally date of the letter or receipt of letter - check your contract - if in doubt refer to date of letter).

     Sincerely,

    Me

    I agree always do two weeks, use this template or even google.  You do not need to give a reason but you need to give ample notice.  Many times if they arent giving you hours they may just say you can leave effective immediately once you turn in your notice.

  • thanks ladies! I've only been working for my current job for about 2 months, but I've just been so unhappy. I'm glad a work from home job has been brought to me, since hubby works 12 hour days, and I can be home to have dinner ready for him.
