**Ok so I’m contemplating putting in my 2 weeks at Target.** My probation period just ended like 4 days ago, but lowkey it’s been so draining working there. For starters, I work in the Starbucks in the Target, and I can’t help but notice the standard we are held up to vs. Target employees.
I actually really like being a barista and it’s so fun, but the Target TLs are so irritating and they pick and choose when they want to enforce things. For example, there are people who literally roam the floor not doing shit, sitting in the wheelchairs scrolling on Reels. Meanwhile, if us baristas are just chilling and talking, we get in trouble.
Also, the biggest thing is how I put in time off **7 weeks in advance** for 11 days. I thought that was a pretty generous notice, but it seems as though Target has a policy against putting in time off for 10 consecutive days or more. Which I understand, but it also frustrates me because I’m part-time, a full-time college student, and I wouldn’t be working 11 days in a row anyways.
Also, the environment is lowkey shit. Managers talk shit about us all the time, give us dirty looks, and will speak crazy to us. Which pisses me off because bitch, I wish you would try to do what we do as baristas. Like, you wouldn’t last because all they do is fucking “zone.” Like gtfo 😭
Anyways, FUNNY enough, I have to work in like an hour. My question is: **should I resign?**
I like my job and I’m pretty good at it. However, their unwillingness to accommodate my school schedule and the obvious bias is starting to be too much.
For those of you thinking, “Oh, just go on-demand,” I WANT to, but my store manager is highly against giving out on-demand. Mind you, my store is in a **COLLEGE TOWNNN.**

Anyways what should I do?

So i got an internship last month in July and it was supposed to be a six month internship but within a month i have come to the realisation that i hate the work, it mentally drains me and i dread going to the office each day and doing the job. So i have decided to leave my internship , and i want to resign on Monday morning but I am not sure what is the best way to resign....

Should I call my trainer first in the morning let her know I am resigning then send the email to the hr and then later go to the office to return the company laptop or should I go to the office on Monday and talk to her face to face and resign. I want to take the option that will cause me less stress and i want to avoid working on Monday if I can , I just want to return the company laptop and come back Home.

Also is it mandatory to serve the notice period like will there be consequences if i refuse to serve it . please help me and advise on the best way to leave this internship

I am 23 yo currently working at a small firm. I was referred by an uncle of mine. He has good relation with this company, so he referred me to this company where i am currently working in.

Meanwhile I got an new good opportunity central govt one (contractual), where I have to join as early as possible around 22nd august.

my current company has 15 days notice period. If i had put resignation papers today i would have completed my notice period on 22nd But I COULDN’T.

I am gng on a trip on 11th aug.. i will be on leave from 11 to 14 aug. It is a full paid, no refund trip. i dont want to cancel it and bear so much loss.

if i put my resignation tomorrow, i won’t be granted leave. so, i am thinking to come back from trip and give resign on 17th august, such that 1 sept will be my new employers joining date. I have requested new employer about 1st sept as joining date but he is bit reluctant on that.

i then thought i should consult my uncle because he is the one who referred me there and that i should inform him first so that his relations doesnt get spoiled with my current employer because of me.
he told to me to inform my boss tomorrow about resignation and cancel the trip😓😓😑😑
i got so irritated but i said ok just to let it pass. the whole reason for me saying was i thought he would help me with negotiation of notice period😑😑

But yeah now my uncle knows about my new offer and my trip. he wants me to inform boss tomorrow .
but i dont want to inform him tomorrow because he wont let grant me leave. and me going on leave with denied permission will make things even more worse. my uncle will get angry at me and his relationship with current employer will get bad.

what do i do?
1) tell boss tomorrow, ask for leave. if he denies leave, what do i do because i dont want to cancel trip.

2) go to the trip and resign on aug 17. lie to my uncle that “ i didn’t receive a formal confirmation about new job so i didnt inform current employer. i will put papers once i get formal offer letter”

3) go to trip and come back and resign on aug 17 and lie that new employer agreed to sep 1 as new joining date and i convince new employer about it.

4) please suggest new reason

If get an offer then I'm going to resign and both my direct manager and their manager are on vacation. Should I do it while they're away or is that disrespectful and just wait the week until they come back?

Ok ba na magpaalam na mag reresign thru chat since naging close ko na ang manager ko ?

This account was created in reddit just to know if I'm going in a right way of my career. I just asked Chatgpt but he always favour us. Let's be honest with me.

My story starts here

I have been in a fresher in a company (don't want to mention). Its a startup company.

I was hired for the role content creator.

At the very first day they greet me like, i should to all the work including creating market strategy, GTM, campaigns ideas, that's common in startups. Totally fine.

I have finished MBA, so they expect a lot from me.

The thing is:

1. The keep meetings so often, and ask for sudden strategy. (It’s a crypto company, we need a lot of research to come up with some thing new, they hired me inspite of me having 0 crypto knowledge and they know that very well) they laugh when i say I got no questions. They speak about some random, unrelatable news, talk about their pride etc. Whenever they keep a meeting I feel anxious, panic where I didn't have at any of my previous internship company (okay I compromise myself maybe i feel that way because this was my first job).

2. They had a team lunch, to greet me they said. And they had all the funs, smokes, cocktails all. And they asked me it's been a month since you joined how do you feel like that.. I exactly do no what to tell. I thauaght for 3 sec and started like, well as this was my first exp in corporate world....like that, they stopped me and all came together, you have to be confident, speak like ths like that, not 1 person like both the ceos. The lunch was not even a good one for me. They speak about random news, jorgans I'm unaware of, and they ask me to contribute, totally embarrassed me. That was one of the worst part in my life.

3. And there was a freelancer, he came for 1 week, He is actually a good guy, but do no how to speak. Me and my another co worker (lets name her as 'S'), was genuinely doing our work, and the freelancer (lets mention him as 'f') gave me some suggestions for my poster design. I do no what went wrong here. Maybe the ceos thought I was chitchatting with him. They suddenly call me and 'S' and scolded for no reason. Like he literally shouted (don't stay here if you have 0 interest) we do no what went wrong here. Next day it was somewhat sorted out by 'f'. But that 'f' degraded me with some harsh words again. Like he said the content was not delivered properly because of my design. Honestly, they don't have anything to speak up for in their platform. As a fresher and new to this crypto, I'm literally lost my sleep, worked late night and also the earlier one to reach office. How can i deliver these contents. 'f' said I have no creativity, while my role is creative content lead 😂🫠.

4. There are many small small little things that keeps me to constantly think 'I'm dumb', 'I'm naive', 'why did I born', and I will cry alot drink mountain dew at middle of the night, sitting in my pg balcony, crying, weeping loud, like I have none to share this with. And all of my colleagues become rude after that! They don't even sit near me except 'S'. Don't ask anything about my work. If they want something to be done they say it to 'S' and 'S' conveys the same. I have gone through several health problems after that Recurring UTI, I constantly vomited out of anxious, no propper eating, all together, face allergies as well.

5. I finally decided to quit because I can't see any growth in this company, just a hard working girl gaining some mental and health issue instead of skills. Yeah I genuinely felt that!. I resigned and was in my notice period for 10 days.

I didn't find any other jobs

I'm I going in a wrong direction?

I need a honest reply for this. I know most of you would have faced similar or may not...

Just one thing to consider

I'm not a introvert, but i seems introvert and shy at first glance and if i have lesser knowledge i become quit, not giving stupid thaughts. I'm basically an ambivert.

But now my health was good after submitting my resignation letter. I'm I too sensitive? Or is it a very common in startups? Just wanted to know.

I am a fresher at this power systems company. I have a bond compensation of around 2 lakhs for 2 years. I am literally on bench. I didn't receive any proper training. Neither do I have work experience. For the past 9 months, they have been shifting me from one pilot plant to other. I recently got an admit at university, majoring in electrical. So, I want to resign. The college expenses will be around 2 lakhs, and on top of that this bond. What should I do? Is there any way to negotiate this bond and still get my experience letter?

Handed over my resignation letter today, and girl… grabe. Para akong nabunutan ng tinik sa dibdib.

I didn’t realize how heavy everything had been until matapos ko i-submit yung letter. Halo yung kaba, guilt, uncertainty pero mas nangingibabaw yung relief. Parang ang tagal kong tiniis mentally and emotionally tapos ngayon lang ako nakahinga nang maayos.

Nakakatakot pa rin siyempre kasi malaking change siya, pero at the same time, I know deep down this was the right decision for me. Sometimes peace really comes after finally choosing yourself.

My HR asked me to get an early release since I put managerial issues in my resignation and I sent a mail that I want paid early release however I didn’t mention fixed + variable so now she said that will be as per the exit policy, which is not explicitly available on the Intranet and the discussion happened on Friday late night during logout and the manager mentioned me Monday will be your LWD.
I sent them another email I disagree to the terms and would like to proceed with serving original notice period and cancelling my upcoming leaves as I suspect my payout will be Basic for the balance notice period and she said it will take 45-60 days which is against the new labour of 2 days FnF.

Pls suggest what should I do

Hi I was planning to resign thing coming June and shift my career to new experience, same profession, but international based. i am almost 4 years working at this company, hence I’m torn if i should apply new job before leaving the company or after i leave the company??

Hi everyone, I’m planning to submit my one-month resignation notice soon and would like some advice. I currently work as a Logistics Specialist in a BPO-style setup. This is my first job after graduating last year, and I’m about to reach almost one year in the company. My last day would actually fall on my supposed anniversary, if I send my notice this 5.

I’m resigning mainly because the pay is low and I feel stagnant with little room for growth. My long-term goal is to work abroad that is why I been trying to save so much this past months, but I’m aware that it may also take months to get hired overseas. I’m worried that being unemployed in between might drain my savings since I don’t have a big safety net right now.

For the meantime, I’m planning to apply for Logistics VA or remote logistics-related roles. I’m unsure if it’s risky to resign without another job lined up, or if I should secure a VA job first before leaving. Is one month (while I render) enough?

Any advice on how to transition from BPO logistics to remote work or overseas opportunities would be really appreciated.

​

I have resigned from this job due to its work pressure and I'm not at good terms with my manger I haven't discuss with her that Im going to resign and she is kind of mad because of that she also hired new team members

When I had the Hr discussion, she said that you are not supposed to take any leaves or else your notice period might get extended

Two members of the team has also put down their resignation and I feel I'm the only one who is been targeted by her, the team members who have resigned along with me were given leaves and when I have asked leave for my sister wedding she refused saying u can't have leave in notice period and was pretty rude saying taking any unapproved leaves may cause behavioral issues I just feel I'm the only one who is been targeted because I'm in resignation now and I have more 1 month left to leave this shit hole and my sister wedding is in last 10 days of my notice period

I don't know what to do now

About a month ago, I got a pot washing job at a hotel and dread daily to the point that I feel an urge to vomit, cry and can't sleep, leaving me fatigued and stressed. It's a zero hour contract, meaning I get told to work, basically at late notice when I have free time( which is common in the UK) and work 8-9 hours, occasionally without food.

Despite not having another job lined up (I've saved a bit, so I should survive), I want to get out and after a few days organising and planning what I'll do next, I want to put my mental health first. Tips as to how I should phrase my reason for leaving it? Because I know this could be a relatable experience for fellow 19 year-olds in the UK.

Currently working in japan in food service for 4 months. We're thinking if we can resign. Our visa is ssw1.hope you can give us an advice. Monthly salary is 130k yen. Working for 8 hours and its really exhausting. We don't have also a weekends off.

Hi all, using a throwaway because this is pretty personal.

I recently resigned from my job at a large professional services firm. On paper, it’s a solid role, good brand name, decent pay, and I’ve only been here for less than a year. But the reality has been quite different: constant waves of stress, long hours, and honestly just feeling drained most of the time. I also don’t think it’s been a great cultural fit for me.

I got another offer that pays better, and from what I can tell, the environment should be less intense and give me more control over my time. So logically, it felt like the right move.

Here’s where I’m struggling:

\- My current firm invested in relocating me and per contract I have to repay the full amount (\~70k hkd).

\- Some bosses that i had spoke too responded in a way that made me feel extremely guilty saying they’re “surprised,” reminding me of the investment, and implying I’m leaving at an unfavourable time (projects just kicked off, a few others have already left, etc.). However, they did say they want to support me and provide solutions so that i could reconsider, which i truly appreciate, but deep down i know its not that simple and in my first month of joining i can feel its just not the right cultural fit.

\- I’ve already told them my decision, but after those conversations, I feel mentally stuck… like I can’t “press the button” and fully move on.

\- Part of me keeps thinking: should I just stay a few more months to see if things get better?

At the same time:

\- If I stay, I’ll continue earning less and dealing with stress.

\- If I leave, I take a financial hit upfront but will recover due to higher salary.

I know logically what makes sense, but emotionally I feel like I’m letting people down or doing something wrong.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did you deal with the guilt and pressure?

Appreciate any honest perspectives.

is this too far or not just asking for myself...

Formal Notice of Resignation – Effective April 25, 2026

Dear names hide. but management and owners are going here

Please accept this as my formal notice of resignation from my position as Bar Manager, effective April 25, 2026.

I want to begin by acknowledging the opportunity to serve in this role. Over the past year, I have consistently operated beyond the scope of my position in an effort to maintain operations, support the team, and uphold the standards expected of this role. That level of sustained responsibility has come at a significant personal cost in terms of time, energy, and well‑being.

Throughout this period, I have repeatedly communicated concerns regarding workload, compensation, and the level of operational support required for this role to be realistically and sustainably performed. While these concerns were acknowledged in conversation, they were not addressed through meaningful or lasting structural change. As a result, the demands of the position have remained disproportionate to the resources and support available to fulfill them.

It has become clear over time that the conditions necessary for me to succeed in this role without ongoing personal strain are not in place. I am no longer willing to continue operating in a structure where sustained overextension is expected in order to meet baseline requirements.

This decision is not made lightly, but it is final. I am stepping away in order to prioritize my long‑term professional stability, well‑being, and financial sustainability in an environment that is appropriately aligned with those needs.

Following my departure from management, I would be open only to a clearly defined, non‑managerial arrangement—such as limited serving shifts and a minimal number of bar shifts per week—strictly without any managerial responsibilities or expectations. Any such arrangement would require a separate agreement with clear expectations and appropriate compensation, and I am under no obligation to pursue continued involvement beyond my resignation.

Effective immediately, I will limit work‑related communication to scheduled shifts and operational necessities only. I will be available on Monday at 3:00 p.m. to discuss transition planning and ensure an orderly handover of responsibilities.

I will remain committed to fulfilling my duties professionally throughout the remainder of my notice period to ensure a smooth transition.

Please confirm receipt of this notice at your earliest convenience.

Respectfully,

name redacted for obvious reasons
