*Resource of HR>>>employee turnover

I don't know what to say to my boss of 2 months that I am quitting..help!?


I work part-time and thought that this company would be a great opportunity for me...turns out it's not! My boss has been not so kind to me and maybe a little bipolar. Regardless I have found a better job and start immediately but I don't know what to say to my boss to leave on good terms. I don't want to say that I am leaving for another job because that would lead to an unpleasant conversation. What is a good/safe way to let her know that I am not coming back. She has employee turnover often and I have just started and will not need her as a reference I just don't want to seem like a job hopper. Thanks!

It's hard to overlook the others who have left before you and your bosses reaction but neither of these things have anything to do with you! You cannot control what others think or do. the very best you can be is yourself.

Tell the truth without going into detail. Tell the boss you've found another position that better suits your interests and goals. No one can argue with that. Thank her for allowing you to work for her (be polite). And inform her of your last day as far in advance as possible. Not "oh this is my last day."

You really dont have to give them a reason - both you and your employer have the right to end the employment at any time for any reason. However, just tell them you have been presented with a great opportunity, that you have learned a lot in the short time you've been there (even if you haven't, its just nice to say) and thanks for everything. You dont want to burn any bridges. Good luck, and enjoy your new job!

You really do need to tell her her you have found another job that you thinks fits you best and you would have more opportunity to climb the ladder.Good Luck

Tell her that you appreciate the time and opportunity that she has given you but you have found something that better fits your schudule and personal needs. Since it's a part time job I would not worry about it at all. Just be nice and truthful regardless of how she acts. If she gets upset, tell her you're sorry she feels this way and thank her again for the opportunity (then start running...lol) Really though, you should be fine.

I would tell her that the job isn't working out for you due to personal reasons, and unfortunately you won't be able to give her 2 weeks notice like you'd really like to. Then thank her for the opportunity she's given you by having you work there. I wouldn't tell her it's because she's a bi-polar pain in the *** though :)

Either way, she'll probably "black list" you as far as that company's concerned-maybe she won't if she's having a manic phase lol, but I wouldn't sweat it. Keep in mind though, a lot of companies now are doing background checks and such, so you'll probably still have to list that job on any future jobs you apply for. Just come up with a good and creative reason for leaving it if the time ever comes for that. Good luck with your new job!
