Drafting a Two Weeks Notice
Posted on 2007-05-15
I've decided to quit my job at the thrift store. My former boss would like to have me work for him again (at a different restaurant, long story) and I think I'm going to accept it. It's a longer drive, however, during the summer I will be able to work full-time and probably get in some overtime. There's only one condition: I must get paid at least a dollar (and preferably two) more than what I'm making now. I'm pretty sure I will get paid more, but I have to talk it over with him.
There is a sale (two weeks from yesterday) coming up at the store and (unfortunetly), I've decided that I will stick around long enough to work the sale but that's it. I dont' want to work after that so I have to time to study for finals and experience my graduation. If I don't like the hours and pay my previous boss is offering me, I don't know what I'm going to do. I have to work.
I will find out by this Friday wether I'm taking the other job or not so I think on Friday I'll give my current boss my 1.5 weeks notice. I know I'm going to tell them in person, but do I also have to write them a letter explaining my reasons? It's a part-time job as a salesclerk so it's not like my reputation will follow me around but I still want to be curteous.
Any advice on how I should quit (I'm leaving an amicable terms) would be appreciated.
