I want to quit my job.

Care to cite this law?

I hate to break it to you, but several jobs will require you to clean bathrooms.

For example at the water park I used to work for the lifeguards cleaned the bathrooms at the end of the day.

LOL what law is that, the law of 2Xtreme21's imaginary world? If someone said that to me, I'd say, well in that case you're fired. Good luck.

Uh, I never said they can't fire you...

Read my post 2 down from the one you quoted.

Gah, I can imagine the parenting potential here. I ain't going to change its diapers, no way. Well, IMHO, cleaning public bathrooms is a good way to get perspective on life. You can do it in a clean manner; hopefully a theme park has all sorts of equipment for cleaning potentially infectious waste.

I currently work at Boomers, a mini theme park, but I am planning to quit my job today because I hate working there. They made me clean the bathroom! They told me that it's everyone's job, that everyone has to do it every once in a while. But still, I signed up to be a cashier, not a part time janitor. I wouldn't mind cleaning tables, or even the floor. But cleaning the bathroom is just too much.

So how should I tell them that I want to quit my job? Can I just call them or should I tell them in person? It's my first job so I'm not sure what to do or say.

you hate your job because they made you clean the bathroom??

When you get a new job, and they tell you, you have to clean the bathroom every now and then, are you going to quit?

hate to tell ya, lot of jobs your going to have in the future, may have you clean the bathroom once in awhile. Just deal with it and do your job.

You didn't ask, but as a former McDonald's employee, I'm going to say this: If having to clean the bathrooms is all that it takes to make you want to quit a job, then you are going to have a hell of a time in the working world, because you need to be humbled a little. Maybe a lot.

That said, write up a two-week notice and turn it in today.

I'd have to disagree 100%. I quit working at Publix when they made me clean bathrooms more than a few times. Started working a job that I didn't have to clean bathrooms, and made a lot more money.

If you aren't happy with the job, look for something better. There are a ton of jobs in this world, find something thats fun and you don't mind doing.

What about a file system check?

I'll take it that you won't or can't cite the law. Alright.

Here's how

You should go in and ask your boss if it's okay if you can quit....

/In other words, you're not a slave - go in - face 'em and say "I quit."

LOL @ You!

You are probably some 17 year old high school student. You should be humbled to have your own car, place to live. Cleaning the bathroom should be nothing. You probably want some immigrant to do it.

 

[Minjin]

Don't be silly. Give them two weeks notice. Its the right thing to do. And that should be reason enough.

But if you want to talk about karma or things coming back to haunt you, sure you may not need them as a reference but what if your next job or a job after that, you run into someone who knows you from this job. Perhaps the owner of this theme park is also the owner of other businesses, and maybe one you're applying to. Coincidences like this happen more than you think...

 

[Conky]

Take a dump on your bosses desk.

 

[imported_Imp]

Someone I know (a quitter), quit his job at a supermarket 6 days after being hired cause it was too tough by just giving the boss verbal notice. You don't need two weeks notice unless you want to keep the bridge intact. Any people you want to use as references, then be nice. Me, I quit my suckass job after 3 years, dropped off resignation letter after a couple weeks leave (at new triple paying, full-time summer job as opposed to part-time), so they probably already knew...

yeah that owner will think "oh yeah, jds2006 worked for me for 3 weeks but gave 2 weeks notice. that really changes my opinion of him."

And taking a dump on his desk would be a better option?

It's like working at Boomers is going to get you bigger and better jobs. I'm not talking sh!t on the OP, but I've had crappy jobs in the past and if I didnt like them or got fed up with them, I'd quit on the spot. If you give them two weeks, it's not benefitting you one bit besides attributing to your own misery. If you quit on the spot, at least you'll have the time to search for jobs, go in for interviews etc. . .you're only out the cash, which seems the misery of the job outweighs that.

yea, but regardless, it's common courtesy to do so. most prospective employers, whether they are a law firm, or a gas station will ask the companies you worked for about it. it can be a job killer even if only one. so why take a chance?

He's only worked there for 3 weeks. If I were him I wouldn't even list it on my resume. Then you don't have to worry about it coming up in future interviews. If they ask what he was doing for 3 weeks (which I doubt they will) he can just say he was interviewing for jobs.

Just quit and be done with it. If you give a 2 week notice, they'll just make you clean bathrooms for 2 weeks.

employers look up credit reports to see where you worked, by not giving two weeks notice, you give a potential employer reason not to hire you if they find that you just quit your job. how can you be deemed responible and dependable if you can't make the simple two weeks notice? how are you going to explain to your potential employer tht you just upped and quit because you didn't want to clean the bathroom which were a part of your job description?

i'm not baggin on th OP for wanting to quit, i'm just giving him the best option

do credit reports really tell people whether I gave two weeks notice or not?

 

[Pepsi90919]

Dear Boss,

I quit.

Sincerely,

jds2006

 

[Lithium381]

go into your scheduled shift, tell them that you don't think the job is right for you and that you'll be resigning your position within a week, or as soon as a replacment is found....good for you, good for them.

no, but they give an indication of the jobs that you "hid" on your application.

I wouldn't clean my own bathroom for $7.25 an hour. I do however pay a maid service $70 a week to do it and the rest of the house for me
