Funny how most of us stress about this like we were getting a divorce. It's 12:00 AM and my letter is complete. Have been wanting to quit for a while now but never had the guts to straight out say it. The letter on hand solidifies my intentions and makes it simpler to express. Don't know who's quote this is but "if it won't matter in five years don't spend five minutes worrying about it " Good luck to you all.

I have given a months notice on a few job departures. If possible, I think this is a wise move. In one job interview/offering, I told the new employer I wished to give a months notice to my current employer. I think this help secure the new position as I was looked upon as considerate, and not likely to ever leave them abruptly.

Been at Walmart for over 3 years now, and the ASM I have now frustrates me to no end.

Thank you, thank you. Typing my letter tomorrow time to venture into self employment .
Putting my 2 week notice in today. My job scheduled me 0 hours next week because I wasn’t comfortable covering a hard duty shift (I have a work related injury) that was scheduled for someone who quit. Keep in mind there’s other employees trained in this department. They’ve been having me do stocking, facing and recovering which didn’t really align with my doctors note requirements (pushing and pulling 5+ pounds, repetitive movement, lifting over head). I’m just so over it. I’d rather be jobless than get 0-5 hours when they don’t like me for the week
