I HATE my second job and gave a months notice. Now I just hate the job even more! I don't need nor do I want the job anymore and because my other job is more important this second job is just became a pain in my rear. Did you ever just not show up. I has been two weeks now and I am just DONE with this crappy job.

... but you have to stick it out because it's not worth your integrity to leave. Really - - better to hate your job than hate yourself!

You know the saying honesty is the best policy? It's because it is. It is respectable to be honest. Even if the person you are being honest with doesn't respect you for it you can respect yourself because you were right. The only way I would walk off the job is if I was subject to abuse by being there. It's one thing to be treated unfairly it's another to be made to take abuse. If you are not being abused then I would go to the boss and tell him how you feel and what you want to do. A month notice is a little unreasonable length of time. An employer usually only requires two weeks. It isn't tough to fill positions. Whether you decide to stay two more weeks or go now I would be straight with the boss whether he deserves it or not and tell him what the plan is. You owe it to yourself to be able to walk away with your head high and the feeling of a job well done. You'll give yourself that and much more if you are honest.

Yes I have walked out of 1 job with an eyecare specialist. I had to drive 45 min. to get there and the doctor would be waiting for me outside to show up. I was never late but never early either. It was a boring job. But I wish I had given notice. Even if you do not put a previous employer down as a reference, most companies will do a background check and know that you worked there and can call them and it might hurt your chances of getting a better job.

On the other hand, you could go to your manager and ask if you can leave any earlier than planned.

You should have only given two weeks notice. That is all that is required. That said, if you just leave now, it is going to reflect very poorly on you in the future. In any case, I did just quit a job once... but I had only worked at it one day. I would never do that now. My professional career is more important to me than two weeks at a cruddy job. These things have a habit of coming back to bite you in the end.

Unless you are a brain surgeon or in some position that you can not easily be replaced a month is really long. Some employers will fire you as soon as you give notice. I will admit I left a job at lunch one time and never came back. It was a call center job.

No, very irresponsible of you to leave that boss and the other employees in such a position...Doing this only upholds the idea of how the next generation has little respect for dedication, responsibility, and the I'll do whatever I want to do mentality....Prove this wrong...You could use/need this job as a reference in the future, leave under good terms...ever hear the expression, don't burn your bridges? Suck it up and next time only give 2 weeks notice.....

Remember future references may be affected....and you might be leaving the employer in a lurch.

It could weigh on you for life....as will any disrespectful act.



Why not discuss it with employer to see if the end date can be accelerated ...to, maybe, tomorrow or so.

Screw that. That's the sissy's way out. Go out with a bang. Smack somebody in the face with a cheeseburger, show up as the backwards man, do something. Have fun with it. What are they really going to you?

certain. I hate to confess it, yet I unquestionably have performed that in the previous. My causes were rather severe having to do with one in each of my co workers. We were seeing one yet another outside of the place of work, and then he assaulted me. i became too embarrassed to describe to my boss what got here about, and that i could not record some thing hostile to him because it did not happen contained in the place of work. And we were on a date at the same time as it got here about so on the time (youthful and dumb) i did not imagine I stood a danger legally. (must have placed that guy in penitentiary. It became rather undesirable.) i didn't wish any contact with this individual anymore, so I in simple terms stopped exhibiting up. i did not ever p.c.. up my telephone at the same time as they referred to as, I in actuality in simple terms disappeared. I remorseful about handeling issues that way, yet that's what I did. I gained tests for some months after the incident, like $15 ones. and then they stopped coming, and no individual tried to the contact me again. about 4 years later, I referred to as my boss and defined each thing, and apologized for my way of exiting. He became very knowledge unquestionably, and reported he wanted he might want to have helped on the time. besides i do not recognize your causes for desiring to leave, yet i might want to point no longer doing it that way. i recognize I regretted doing it that way. I unquestionably have realized that honesty is the perfect coverage. Cliche, yet authentic. sturdy success accessible!

You have to be straight with your employer. Tell him a month is too long. It really is.
