I think I need to resign from a volunteer job that I have, I have never had to quit or resign anything before. What is the best way to do so?

I have to see the people that I work with 3-4 times a week even after I resign so there is no way to make a clean break but the job is entirely too stressful and I don't see the point in being stressed out all the time.


anyone had to resign before?

Well, you probably submit a letter of resignation, in which you inform them that you are resigning. The reason this takes a whole letter is because it's padded with false claims of reluctance and regret.

Would the think you were crazy if you wrote " I quit" in marker pen on your forehead?

u gotta love BS

Just be honest and say that you can't carry on with all the work. If you try making up excuses as to why you can't continue you'll have to spend all the time you see these people making sure you keep up the story.

they think I am crazy anyway, so that wouldn't matter much.

I want to try to keep my mouth shut about why I am resigning since I think the actual reason may cause problems. I am not sure how to resign without having to answer uncomfortable questions, or how to answer those questions when they come up, and what exactly to put in my letter.

After my Mum died, I had to resign from a job where everyone had been really wonderful to me. I just wrote them a letter explaining that although I had enjoyed working with everyone and thanked them for making a positive difference to me at a difficult time in my life, that at that time I felt unable to continue with the comitment involved and that I was doing both them and myself a disservice by staying. I also said that I hoped that one day maybe if things in my life changed then I hoped to come back, and that I would miss working with them. It worked well for me, and I am on good terms with them.
I hope that helps. :D

turn up drunk and naked and start doing the chicken dance. They'll prob won't ask you back after that.

If faking your own death is not feasible what Carisbrooke said is what you should do. If possible try to give them a good warning so that they can look for a replacement and perhaps help train that replacement in what you were doing.

You don't have to give a reason other than say "I'm resigning for personal reasons" or "I submit my resignation." They will ask, but you're not obligated to say, either by social or employment mores.

In fact, your whole letter could be, "I submit my resignation. Yours truly,..."

okay so I am taking Willamena's advice and basically the letter goes

Dear <person who is my boss type person>,

Due to personal circumstances beyond my control, I must resign my position, <my job title>, effective May 1, 2006. I sincerely hope that this gives you enough time to find someone to replace me, and if needed I can meet with and train my replacement.




how's that sound?

Just be straightforeward and let them know you need to resign. Give them adequate notice prior to leaving the job so that they can look for a replacement. That's just the decent thing to do.

Dear <person who is my boss type person>
Wow, interesting name. Did their parents not like them?

I don't think anyone likes him :eek: (maybe leave that tidbit out of my letter?)

:D Probably best not to mention it.

i would take out the training bit. Cos then they may take you up on it. In my letter of resignation i just told them i would be resigning in 2 weeks.


Dear <boss>,

Effective (date two weeks from today) I will be resigning my positions as <job title>. (if you want you can thank them for whatever it is you feel you got out of the job)

Sincerely,

<your name>

eh, it's a volunteer job. Why need to resign from that? just quit :p

Dear Jackass,

You people make me fucking sick. Dear lord, just looking at you makes me retch. You all have terrible BO, and you're all a bunch of imbeciles.

Screw You.

That's the perfect 'I quit' letter.

I just quit my job yesterday. Its never as awkward as you expect. More times than not, your coworkers are more aware of issues you may be having with the job than you think. Everyone will wish you well.

My letter read:

This is to inform you that Friday 31 March 2006 will be my last day at [this company].

Regards,
blah blah

Thats all you need to do.
