How do I quit my job?

How do i quit my job?

  • How do I quit a not-so-serious job as a cashier....? I work as a cashier at Target. I started two and a half weeks ago, and today I realized how much I dislike it. It's boring and I'm wasting my time. School starts in two weeks and I want to quit before then. I want to quit ASAP. I work tonight and am supposed to work for the next five days but I'd much rather not. I guess my question is, would it be horrible if I called today and quit via telephone? If not, what could I say? Would they force me to work two more weeks? Or should I just say I'm going on vacation this Friday for two weeks, because there's no way they'd give me that much time off, so I could quit with an excuse. Though I suppose that would be immature, but who cares? I'm not planning on making this my career.. I've just never had a job before and need advice on how to go back to the lovely days of unemployment I miss so much. Thanks.

You are going to have a rough go in the world of employment with your poor attitude. They took time to hire you and to train you and now you are going to waste their resources with your "I don't care" attitude which demonstrates a very poor work ethic. They cannot force you to finish out the two weeks but you could be mature enough and adult enough to honor your commitment instead of being such a self-centered little whiner. Just saying you want to get back to the lovely days of unemployment shows you for what you are: a slacker. Just don't suck up everyone else's tax dollars while you go waste your life away. Target will be fortunate to be rid of you as will your coworkers.

Go in a little early tonight and approach your boss before you clock in. Ask if you can have a word with him privately. Explain to him that you only planned for this to be a summer job, and that school starts back in 2 weeks. Tell him you have a lot to do on a personal level to get ready for school, which you did not previously expect, and that you'd like to give notice tonight. Also ask him if there is any way he can make some schedule adjustments, to give you as much time off as possible before your final day. Tell him that if he is in a pinch, and simply can't find anyone else to work that you will fill in his gaps, but really don't want to work anymore than he absolutely has to have you after tonight. He may say just go ahead and go, without working tonight. Or he may ask you to work only tonight, until he can get the schedule redone. Either way he will appreciate your honesty and you will be more fair to him and the customers in giving them a chance to rework the schedule before you bail. You will also need to use him as a reference for your next job next summer, and want him to say nice things about you so that you can get hired somewhere else. Don't burn any bridges.

Sorry sweetie. Time to grow up. You may need to find a job environment better suited to your taste - but missing the days of sleeping in and being unemployed is a great formula used by starving homeless people. Remember why you got a job to begin with. Do you need money? Start looking for things you like instead of the things you don't like. Sounds like you need to do a personal evaluation.

Yell over the intercom, "Hey guys, f*** this, I quit!!!" then leave

Target isn't going to miss you too much. Just don't go to work and it will all pan out. Or if you want this for a reference then give the 2 weeks, but no one looking at a resume will care about less than a months work. Just ignore the phone calls and eventually it will be fine. Or you could change your answering machine/voicemail saying that you will be gone for the nexdt 2 weeks and that should fix your problem as well. Good Luck!

Go in on your off day and give a two week notice. Likely they will tell you don't have to stay two weeks but it's best to do it in a professional manner so as not to burn bridges. You never know, you may need that job one day in the future.

Frankly, you aren't going to be using this job as a reference on future applications, you haven't worked there long enough to bother. So, if you want to quit, just go ahead and quit. However, this is not a 'good' way to start your work history, some things to consider: - Giving proper notice is the 'right thing to do'. Consider that you are making other peoples' lives harder because 'you don't feel like working', including people who don't have a choice like you do. - You don't want this job now, but you might need to work at Target sometime in the future. Having a bad report on your work record might impact your ability to work there again. We don't always get to 'choose' our jobs, the day may come when you have to take whatever you can get. Why burn bridges? - If you are scheduled for the next 5 days, that is $$$. You will want that money once school starts up (hanging out with friends, buying clothes for school, etc). - If you give notice, there is a chance they will pull you off the schedule anyway.

Do NOT quit by telephone. That's the coward's way out. And don't tell any lies, either. Simply go in to your job tonight, and give them a weeks notice. Tell the truth......tell them that school is starting in two weeks and you need to concentrate on your school work and not be working while school is in session. It's never too early to begin using mature habits. DON'T burn bridges. Even if you think you will never return to that place of emolument, you never know what circumstances could lead to you having to apply with Target stores sometime in the future. Always leave on a positive note, and try not to piss anybody off in the process.

Yeh, two weeks notice would be nice, but since you aren't likely to ever use this job as a reference to get another one, and since I'm sure they have a boatload of applications for people waiting to work there, just quit. Or, go in and piddle or get into a fight with a customer and maybe they'll fire you and you won't have to worry about it. LOL!
