i have been working at my job for about a year and a half and it used to be fun, but over the past couple of months it's just started to become more and more negative in my life. i have enough stress with school and other things, i don't want to dread going to work. i thought by maybe taking another position within my work might change my views on everything, but i've barely been training back there and it already seems like it's going to be horrible. i went to the mall the other day and noticed alot of places are hiring. i grabbed a couple applications and are going to be turning them in within the next couple of days.

i mean, i know how to quit my job, i am just going to write a brief note apologizing, but thanking them for everything but i can no longer work there and such. but it's the new position that i'm bothered by (i'm still working on my old position until i'm ready to take on the new one, i've hardly trained back there ). i'm not sure if just for now, until i actually get a new job, should just explain to them that i am not comfortable working back in the new place and would just like to remain in my old one ( for now ). i just feel bad because they need people in that work area and so i offered and i feel like i'm just like,"ok i'll do it, oh you know what on second thought, nevermind!" but i feel like it'd be better to stop NOW while i'm not technically depended on back there cause i'm still training so they can continue looking for other people cause i think they're hiring others as well. i just don't like disappointing people and i feel like i'll make them angry and i'm just not sure how to go about it.


any advice? (link)
If you dislike your job, then a change may be good for you.

Secure a new job before quitting your current one. Then it is customary to give a resignation letter and two weeks notice. You can ask your new employer if you can have those two weeks or you might have to double up hours. You could give your old boss a list of people who would be interested in taking your job, but in this economy, finding willing applicants shouldnt be hard.

I know you may feel bad about it but business is business and your boss should understand.

Good luck,

-Abby
