What happens when you start to feel miserable at your place of employment? When you are at your last straw and feel the need to get out of there. Perhaps you have a better job lined up already or maybe you don't even care and you just gotta go. Many, dare we say most, have been in this position before. If you have worked multiple jobs, then you know how hard it can be out there. You have to try on jobs like trying on new jeans to find that perfect fight. However, you're ill-fitting jeans aren't helping you pay the rent, but that deadend job is… So how do you quit? Do you throw your unfinished paperwork at your boss and tell him to stick it where the sun don't shine? After all the entitlement and disrespectful ways he's treated you, sounds only fair. But wait, what if that gets around the industry? You might be black listed from any other company! So, do you just swallow your pride and do the "professional" thing with a 2-weeks notice and a defeated limp out the door? Professionals discuss in a Reddit thread—we've pulled the highlights below to help provide you with the best answer.
