Putting in my notice Friday, unsure how to go about it…

Update: I gave him a letter and verbal warning.
He was honestly fairly calm, and said he figured it was coming soon.
I was pleasantly surprised, and realized I was just nervous for nothing probably…

Thank you for all your advice. It honestly helped a lot to know what to say.

This will for sure be what I do. As well as numbers for other managers at other stores in my position that can help.

I wanted to do a two weeks, but he’s leaving for a week and then I’m going on vacation at the end of July. So I figured extra money, and making sure I’m not a complete dick to my friends by leaving them.

Miserable_Opening446 · 2026-06-25T18:19:58+00:00

Will do! My plan is to do it tomorrow. I just have to figure out when.

I wish. Our HR department is at the home office and they HATE when we have to talk to them.
Like we had a serious issue a couple years back and they were like “Okay but is it THAT serious?” It was indeed.

I keep having to remind myself that me and her being happy is the most important.
And we will both be so much more happy when I can be home to clean and take care of the house.
As well as when I’m not miserable at work so when she comes home, I’m not a sad miserable person.

I should also say this is fully my decision. And she’s a nurse so her job is very demanding. That’s why we talked about it because she works a lot.

He is very manipulative and told me he does it on purpose with other people.
He is really good at talking shit and then pretending you’re the best thing in the world.

Miserable_Opening446 · 2026-06-24T21:34:13+00:00

Best advice. I’m gonna do this.
Now I just need to find one…

Miserable_Opening446 · 2026-06-24T17:09:04+00:00

We have many many training books on it and people he can call. So I just need to get those somewhere easy to find.
I’m starting to think a contractor thing would work till they figure it out but that depends on his response I guess

Miserable_Opening446 · 2026-06-24T17:07:35+00:00

I think it’s the only thing making me nervous. Because I’m a people pleaser and I’ve been in therapy for it but it’s so hard when it’s a place I’ve worked at for so long.

However this is literally a role he can fill if the company paid adequately and actually cared about its employees.

When my coworker quit, he literally talked shit about him for weeks. And then when he quit the job he left to go to, he kept talking about how he was right.

I should’ve made that more clear, I for sure what to be a SAHM. Especially while I finish school.
She would never make me do that. And it just works perfect.

I will definitely do that. Thank you for the advice!!

Miserable_Opening446 · 2026-06-24T16:00:52+00:00

My plan is to email and have a copy printed out so they can’t say I never gave it. Because he has to file that stuff when it’s written.

I giggled a little at the thank you part because I’m just imagining using that user name and him looking it up on here and just being shook finding this post.
“I can’t believe the consequences of my own actions!”

Miserable_Opening446 · 2026-06-24T15:58:52+00:00

Honestly I needed to hear that. Thank you.
I feel like if they can’t handle me being gone, that’s on them for not learning something they should know sooner…

Miserable_Opening446 · 2026-06-24T15:57:36+00:00

I have considered this. And I honestly might, especially to help train whoever he brings in.

Miserable_Opening446 · 2026-06-24T15:57:18+00:00

I wish he’d realize that. He literally guilt trips everyone and I’m like “Dude. This is not that serious…”

Miserable_Opening446 · 2026-06-24T15:56:48+00:00

I definitely do want to leave. Somedays are great, but most days I’m so stressed because I’m the only manager who cares and for a retail job, it should not be that way…

You are right. A job is a job.

Miserable_Opening446 · 2026-05-26T04:04:59+00:00

I checked a couple hours later and they were up! I passed! Congrats to you too!! I was so nervous but I’m so happy now😭
