2 Weeks notice

The Unknown Man · **Posted:** January 11th, 2010, 5:05 pm

So here's the thing, I'm moving from Barrie to Toronto. And I need to hand off a 2 week notice to my work. And I've never had to write one. I can't get my parents help, they're in the dark about the whole situation, I can't ask any of my friends they're to busy all the time. I can't ask my girlfriend, because she dreads the idea of me moving and doesn't really like talking about it. So I can't really ask anyone else. I just wanna be professional about it.

Any pointers or anything making a piece a paper saying that i'm going to quit in two weeks?

It seems to straight forward lol

And I figured i should post here more

Dear loser boss...enjoyed working the deep fryer at MacDonald's...I've learned many things during my stay here such as how ***** teenage boys can be and how many losers ask for "no pickles"...I wish I could keep that discount card longer so I could get fatter...sadly I have to leave for the big T.O...you suck, bye.
That's the general idea but be a bit nicer and kiss his *** more

I've never had any experience in it but I can't imagine lots of compliments go down too badly. Write how much you enjoyed work but are moving on. Be sure to thank him too

Wouldn't bother. Just pull them to the side and say your leaving.

If it is a fast food restaurant i doubt they expect much anyway.

Creepy's pretty much right. Fast food places see workers come and go. Just let your boss know that you're moving. If you're really required to give a written note, then just write something like this:

"Dear <boss name>,

On <date>, I will be moving from Barrie to Toronto. I'm presenting this letter as my two weeks notice and hope that a suitable replacement can be found.

Thank you for the opportunity,
The Unknown Man (aka Bill)"

Seems Reasonable.
But yes my manager is like that, every time a worker is coming or going or w/e. It has to be by the books. No deviation what so ever. She is anal like that. But I guess that's why she is our general manager lol

Like MQ said, if it's a fast food restaurant, they're probably very used to staff coming and going. On the other hand, I think a letter, just out of courtesy, is the right thing to do, even if it's only brief.

MQ's example is fine, doesn't go into any great detail but the 'thank you' is a nice polite exit. Manager may ask more verbally, but if you have a job or study to go to, just be as non-committal or informative on info as you fell like being.

Good luck in Toronto, seems unbelievable now but I lived and worked there in the mid-60's (yes I am that old

) and I loved it.
