How would you quit? (1 Viewer)

A little background. My former employer was moving my division to another state back in August, I was given the chance to move but didnt feel like it was the right time to, we were notified a few months prior and given stay packages, etc to stick it out until end of August. While that was going on I was obviously looking for a new position. I interviewed with probably 10 different companies in that span and a week after I was laid off from my former employee (wanted a week off), I started a new position at company A. I have been working with company A for the last 6-7 weeks. While this has been going on, I have still been in talks with other companies, in particular Company B, who really like what I have to offer, but at the time of the initial interview, they didnt have an open position that would fit, I have been on 3 different interviews with company B for different positions while still working for Company A. Well it sounds like Company B and I have finally figured something out for a position in their company. 

So how would you quit Company A, with only being there 6-7 weeks, probably 8-9 weeks by the time everything is set in stone. Obviously Company A is not going to be happy, but I was in talks with multiple companies at the time of my lay off, the timing just wasnt right and I had to take a position when I could. 

I normally am very courteous and give my employer at least a 2 week notice. I feel like this might not be the time to be giving notices, because of how upset they might be and all the grief im going to get, but it probably would help Company A to man the position for a little bit for them to find a new candidate. 

 
Talk to your boss, explain that you appreciate the opportunity, but after a couple of months, you've realized it isn't the right fit for you. Be upfront and say you've received an offer for a job that is perfectly tailored to you, what you want to do, and where you want to go, so you have to take it. Then offer 2 weeks notice, apologize for the inconvenience, and get on with your day.

This.  Honesty is the best policy.

 
Why quit?

you gotta explain that crap at the next interview

best just to stay put and work until you die. Safe route

This. And it's worded well, because there's no reason to mention that you've been talking to B all along. 

I would add that if it's a professional job, give 30 days notice if you can, but I realize that you've only been there a few months so that doesn't really apply as much. 

 
2 weeks and I wouldn't bat an eye.  they wouldn't bat an eye when they fire you, let you go, sell, move the position.  look out for number 1 professionally....you won't be the first who resigns.

 
Most companies have new employees under a 90 day "trial", where they can let go of you at any time with no repercussions. You have the same rights. Give em 2 weeks, exit quietly, move on.
