EMPLOYEE DOING 2 PEOPLE’S WORK FOR THE SALARY OF 1 PERSON, HAD ENOUGH OF OVER-WORK & QUITS

How do I go about quitting my office job, effective immediately?

I’ve been at this job for about 4.5 months now and I’ve hated it since day one. I’m doing a volume of work that should be split between two people, the culture sucks.

There’s a ton of little things that make it just miserable and I’ve hit my breaking point. I’m done.

I called in sick yesterday and today because I’ve had a horrible migraine. I hadn’t had one in over a year before this so I’m attributing it to the stress of this job. So I decided to just quit tomorrow, effective immediately.

I’ve never not given notice so I have no idea what to say or what to expect from my supervisor when I tell her.

She’s definitely going to call me into her office tomorrow morning to talk about me missing two days so it’ll probably come up very quickly. Help!!

1. “Sorry, this isn’t working out and isn’t worth my health. I’m quitting effective immediately. Bye.”
2. You don’t even have to go in, you can send that email right now.
   OP if you have stuff that’s yours at work, go in, grab your stuff, and then send the email and walk out.
3. Why are you even wasting time going in? Don’t show up tomorrow, block their numbers, you’ve already quit, they just don’t know it yet. They will figure it out lol
4. Just quit. You hate it anyways. Who cares. Why even show up?
5. Consider not quitting just yet. The worst thing the boss can do to you is fire you, and quitting pretty much fully negates that power. Just stroll in, do a really half-assed job, agree to everything the boss says, never actually do any of the stuff the boss says, take long lunches, and maybe even work on getting the next gig lined up.
   You can always just walk away whenever you feel like it. For me, that is a feeling of wonderful freedom, and you can get a couple of extra days worth of pay out of it.
6. If you don’t have any personal items that you need, don’t go back. You haven’t been there long, it’s absolutely not worth getting sick over a job you hate. Email the supervisor, tell them you are resigning for personal reasons “effective immediately”, and move on and find a job you will enjoy. Life is TOO short.
