Preface by saying I know I’m not bound to the job by some force other than myself. I can leave whenever I please.
I, however, do not wish ill upon anyone. The job had been fantastic, but as a student, the hours were too much and I can’t continue with any schedule requiring me to be working at 3:30am M-S with only two days off, which aren’t promised to be blackout days.
I tried approaching my manager two weeks ago to let him know that I may need to quit with the spring semester coming up. The hours wouldn’t work, and even if we changed the schedule, I would make 1/3 of what I do now in order to work & be able to make the commute to school at 10am.
He said I was thinking too negatively, and already ‘had the kind to quit’ with that negative thinking. I do have the kind to quit and I’m trying to explain that.
I already found a job with hours that work, that’s next to my school, and that wants me to start ASAP.
I cannot work both this job & my other job. I need a very quick exit strategy for my prior job, that isn’t just a text message saying I won’t be showing up and to run me my last paycheck. I can’t give a two weeks, at best I can do half a week’s notice.
TL;DR: How to politely give a 1/2 week notice to job that is a firm & final quitting notice.
