Hi guys :)

Finally decided to terminate my employment with The Racecourse Inn in Norwich, after working out that doing weekend work for Ladbrokes instead could get me a lot more money, and, frankly, I'm fed up with the grief I get from one of the managers. I work bloody hard for that place, and he is the only one there who doesn't appreciate that, constantly accusing me of being lazy, while letting other members of staff stand around and talk, is constantly patronizing, and just generally gives me hassle that I don't need. Note that I have approached the other managers about it, yet nothing has been done.

So, being young and newbish, my question to you guys is...

How does one go about handing in said termination of employment? This is the first time I have ever left a job (this was the first place I ever worked for) and quite honestly I have no idea to go about it :)

Cheers guys :)
 
" Dear Sir,

Please accept notice of my resignation from the position of (job title) at (place of work). My final shift will be (date at end of notice period, if 1 week, then 1 week from date of letter).

Thanks for all the lols,

Shayper"
 
First part is perfect :)

Just remembered, I'm on a zero hour contract, so would I even need to work another shift after handing in said notice? :)
 
All i can suggest is to be polite and amicable about it, as its your first job (barring ladbrokes) and especially since i assume its a customer services role, it could potentially be a very useful reference for future jobs.

If I were in your shoes, I would just take your notice, ask the relavent people for a moment of their time and explain the situation that you need a better earning job to comfortably live on. Be nice about it and say they were a great company to work for, and you regret having to leave them etc, but that you dont have any alternative.

Edit - Just noticed you are on a zero hour contract, I would mention that you are more than happy to work if required during your notice period, despite technically not having a contract. That would be leaving on very good terms in my eyes.

Good luck :)

Thanks a lot mate :)
 
Great advice.

Shayper - have you actually signed a contract with them? Even if its a zero hour contract, there's still a notice period.

Might be a good idea to mention that you are willing to work any other hours as the business requires to enable them to source a suitable replacement.

Out of interest, do you actually have a job offer from Ladbrokes?
 
Someone who used to work for the company I work for rather disliked the company in general and their immediate superior in particular. When they were offered a job with a rival company at a higher job grade, they told that person what they thought in no uncertain terms before cheerfully leaving.

A couple of years later the company they left bought the company they moved to. In the meantime, their old boss had also been promoted a grade and, lo and behold, was once again their boss. But not for very long.

Always be polite about leaving a job. Even if you had worked for a boss you hated and would love to pee on their shoes and take a dump on their desk before joyfully running out shouting "I'M FREE!", it's still in your best interests to be polite and pretend that you regret leaving their employment.

Yes, I signed a contract :)

And they don't really have that many hours for me anymore, another reason I'm leaving. For example, this week I'm doing 45 hours for Ladbrokes and 5 at the Racecourse.

And I've been working for Ladbrokes for a year now, and my mum is the Area Supervisor for Ipswich, so I work as a cover a lot of the time, and there is always someone needed to cover, especially as I'm now doing CSM training :)
 
To whom it may concern,

you can stick your job up your ****.

(you might not have to work any notice then and can do something much better with your time like getting drunk).
