advice

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?

You have some very excellent instincts. Trust them. Yes, you should let them know right away that you are uncomfortable back there in the new position, before they invest more time and money in training you on something you despise. Finding a new job while still employed is an excellent idea, and the standard for giving notice is the length of your paycheck. So if you get paid every 2 weeks, you give 2 weeks notice. Don't be surprised if they don't use your notice and let you leave immediately, and don't personalize it. They may have a management policy on that very subject, and find it less of a risk to let people leave immediately. (usually they are avoiding potential theft or talking others into leaving their jobs as well).

Let me know how it goes, and please rate me as I will not be able to get questions directed to me until I have a certain number of positive ratings.

Thanks!

Have a great day,

(Rating: 5) thank you so much, this makes me feel better about explaining myself. i just feel bad having them think it was a "waste of time training me" but then again, they never really trained me back there to begin with! haha. thanks again.
