How to leave?

Ive recently been offered another Job, which im quite chuffed about. However Ive got a teensy bit of a problem, this is the only permenant job ive ever had - everything else (also with Royal Mail :p ) has been summer work etc.. so I dont actually know how to quit a job!

Obviously Id love to just wander in, tell them where to go and bugger off home! But thats probably not the right thing to do, do I have to do it in writing etc? Hopefully someone here will know :D

I did that from a call centre - went to the boss and said I am leaving - they asked for 4 weeks written notice which I gave them. Nothing fancy just a headed letter with your address on it saying "I regret to inform you that .............................. ".

This site has good info: I Quit! How to Resign from Your Job http://jobsearch.about.com/cs/careerres ... resign.htm

Also Work Smart is another good website: http://www.worksmart.org.uk/rights/i_qu ... _notice_am

How long notice do Royal Mail ask for full timer to leave ? Just asking as I donÂ´t know.

I'm almost sure you only need to give them one pay period ie. a week. (but don't take that as gospel)

I also think its 1 weeks notice.

Yes it is definitely a weeks notice. I have written my resignation out several times already so I should know.

Aye right thats a great idea

Do that get arrested for assault, sacked,
Prison sentance, And will find it dificult to get a job in the future with a criminal record. The guys only asking for some constructive advice
Like True blue has provided

I think it was only a joke so lighten up

anyway the best way to do it is to verbally insult him until he suspends you on full pay then just go to your other job (I'm sure Tommo would be able to give hints on what to say

)

When I resigned after 3 years, it was with immediate effect. I went in the Monday morning - gave the manager my letter and said Thanks and bye. I never had to pay anything back and I got a tax refund too.
