resignation letter- can i hand it in to the HR?
-
hmm...
been on this job for 6 weeks... and i don't think i have enjoyed a single day in this company minus lunch time.
anyway.. i wanted to tender my letter this week however my immediate mananger went on leave. i need to serve a 2 weeks notice.
is it okay if i give the resignation letter to the HR ? my boss will only be back next tuesday.
the work load is something i cannot handle ...thats why i am throwing in the towel at 6 weeks. plus.. there is not much of a prospect. been down these days..and have been crying. -
I guess u can always hand it to the HR department. If they dun accept, u shld ask who else can u hand it to. alternatively u could give ur bos a call to tell him abt ur plans.Originally posted by snowygal:hmm...

Is there no way u can contact the boss?
I.E. Email?
If yes, send a copy of the resignation letter via email to him and give one to the HR. (Ensure that you know when the email was read)
And yes, if the HR do not accept it (which they shld be accepting), ask them who is the next relevant person you should pass the resignation letter.
Do ensure that that if the HR accepts it - note down the person's name and date. In case, they denie in future that they had accepted and refuse to let you leave.
(I heard from pple before this is what happened to them...this is just to safeguard yourself). -
wait for the boss.
You've been on the job for this long, you can wait a few more days. Resignation letters should always be handed to your direct supervisor unless you have time pressure such as you signed another employment contract with a new company. In that case you should go to the boss above your boss.
HR only facilitates the transition, they do not decide whether or not to accept your resignation. -
HR will handle this case

make 3 copies
1 for immediate supervisor
1 for boss/GM/director
1 for HR -
6 weeks means you have not even been confirmed. needs 2 weeks notice?Originally posted by snowygal:hmm...

anyway the job must be real bad to make you cry. since that is the case i believe even an extra day is a torture. you neednt wait for your boss to come back just hand it to HR. i am sure they can accept it on behalf of your boss. -
Take care... Since you're throwing in the towel already, just relax yourself on the things yeah...?Originally posted by snowygal:hmm...

i was thinking of sending my resignation letter.
my appointment letter wrote ---
" during the probationary period, your employment may terminate by either party giving to the other 2 weeks written notice or salary in lieu of notice."
i am willing to give up 2 weeks of my salary in return of my sanity. They can't stop me if i dun show up for work rite? i know its very very lame of me. but i really can't bring myself to go again. it has reach this extreme point.
it has reach to a point where i even get heart paplations at work. the panicky feeling starts once i am seated down in front of my work station.
i am doing sales processing.. customers orders come in thru emails/fax.. i key in data..print out..hand to purchaser. keep track of the stocks.. once stock is in, do the preperation ( more work to do if its laptops/pcs). call customers ..arrange delivery. i may get up to 20 orders a day..more if my 2 sales guys are hardworking. i have other stuff to do as well.. answering complaint calls from customers, arrange for additional delievery if goods are send wrongly. do credit notes.. collection notes.. different customers have different needs.
its really routine i must say(paperwork)..work is like that isn't it. I practically drag myself to work everyday.. just got scolded by my sale guy last friday for not able to complete one of his tasks..he shouted at me infront of my team..i nearly cried. was trying hard to hold back my tears.
there are alot of datelines i have to meet.. plus remembering some customers' arrangment for delievery.
the segregation in the office is rather bad. Sales people hardly socialised with the admin/operations people . Yah they are considered the kings and queens in the office coz they bring in the money . but dun simply disregard the support team.
maybe u guys may think i am a coward.. loser.. for not able to withstand this. i really dunnno.. i even have to be afriad of wat my bf is gonna say if he finds out i just leave the job like that. he knows how i feel these few weeks, and he thinks i can go thru it for at least 3 mths. that adds on to the pressure and stress in me.
i am on urgent leave this friday, hence will not be going office ..i do not have many personal stuff on my desk..just one cup and bottle.
so can i actually send them my letter? pls help.

It's the same everywhere else.
You really think office politics is isolated? How do you think people run a company? With honest, hardworking, valued-added cronies sucking up to the BIG BOSS...
well that was rather extreme of me but you get the pic
-
poor snowy.. it's ultimately just a job, no point losing sanity over it...
HR should be okay... but if you're giving 2 weeks' notice, your boss comes back, tell him what happened.. and that you wanna go..
maybe between HR and the boss, they can let you go earlier?
good luck and be well yah? -

ILPSY
thanks for enlightening me ... i guess i am left with no choice.. but to tender with 2 weeks notice...
quite upset now...

I think u can ask the HR for earlier termination. Tell them about how u feel. It's normal to terminate early. The contract is not so strict and binding, as long as both parties agree, there's no problem........Find someone who can make the decision while ur manager is away. (to terminate early).
If u cant find someone who can decide, then contact ur manager or wait for him. Ask for early termination.....
Remember to emphasize ur 'burned-out/ stressed out/ unhappy/ can't continue any more' situation while talking to HR or ur manager. They're unlikely to ask u to continue.......Probably u can stop working on that same day or the next day.....
But if u r really required to serve the 2 weeks, then just do it.....Don't stress urself in the 2 weeks time, take it easy....In the meantime, don't worry about making mistakes or missing deadlines, like u used to worry. Just work as usual and everything will be ok. Basically u know the ropes already. Be more confident. Cruise for 2 weeks.
And let everybody know u r leaving. They will start to put less pressure on u, expect less from u, and maybe assign some of ur tasks to other people. All this will help to reduce ur stress.
And don't worry abt ur BF......explain u r stressed out. He won't think less of u or be disappointed with u. Get a better job and impress him.
And more importantly.....u know u should really consider a job carefully from now on. -
If u really can't wait 4 yr boss to return frm his/her leave,
how abt sending a resignation SMS 2 yr boss informing him/her of yr last working day, then hands him yr resignation letter when he/she comes back frm leave. -
my manager is away ...not in spore..
will be back next week..
anyway.. i have thought about it..and kinda decided to talk to the HR on monday..and tender. see if i can ask for early termination. i have to pull myself together..hope i dun break down and cry -
Yes, pls do. Submit your resignation and request for an earlier termination with no compensation. EXPLAIN the situation to the HR and hope they should understand... If all's well then good for you.. Else...Originally posted by snowygal:my manager is away ...not in spore..

Submit for resignation with 2 weeks' notice. Doing this period, don't overstress yourself anymore. If you feel that you can't take it, just 'break down' (meaning you just stop, not asking you to wait till you really break down and go crazy) at work and stop there. Can't do? Go see a doctor. Tell the doctor your problem and request for a long medication leave...
I wish you well.

Understand your predicament as this is the typical ' sai kang' .....well ..... if your family need your finacial support I would advise to bear with this shit until you find a new job....
Of cos if you are well to do ...what are you waiting for...
However... what is important do learn a lesson out from here ... cos there will be a lot 'sai kang' and plenty of nasty bosses and sales guy outside....
One of my gal fren was molested by a sales guy in her first week on the job... these pple are bad and lecherous ... Angry
Since you are gonna resign ...why dont you shout back at him ...since you got nothing to lose...in the process you will learn to be strong and grow... I been thru all these and more.. scheming, back stabbing pple ....just my 2 cents worth. -
snowy.. can i ask u .. u jus step into this working society not long izzit?
From what you said abt your works.. i dont find it any problem with that. I work as sales co-ordinator before and beside all the sales paperworks, i still have more things to do... example, prepare report for my directors to send to japan and that got deadline too. I m also a secretary to my sales manager. I m like you.. when i first accepting this job, my assistant sales manager scold me too but if you are right.. tell him back.. if you are the one in wrong.. jus accept it. That is life. But after sometimes.. i did earn respect from them. NOne of the salesman dare to shout at me anymore. They know i m not that kind they can bully. LIke what u mention one of the salesman scold u cos u couldnt finish his task. Tell him.. you only got one hand and if you are the only one doing that.. tell him next time give the task earlier.
But i guess you already make up your mind to resign.. so all the best to you for your future jobs. Remember working life is never smooth. -
WHat are you talking about .... this means you dont get paid not that you have to pay the company ....CHRISTOriginally posted by ILPSY:Dearie, you will need to pay your company 2 weeks of your salary, not by giving up your 2 weeks of salary!

6 weeks and your quitting ...good job there chap. Shows your a real worker, good luck with your next jobs..... this isnt even enough time to get to know your working environment let alone start enjoying a job..... quite unbelivable
Hope you dont need a reference, plus i suggest you dont put on your CV that oyu had a job for 6 weeks only .... doesnt bare well for you -
Im interested to know what company you work for and what you are expected to do

she already mentioned her job scope

Yes dear, you have to pay, out of your own pocket $, 2 week's worth of your pay. Then, you can leave the company the next day! On top of that, they won't give you that 2 week's of pay!Originally posted by iamsuper:WHat are you talking about .... this means you dont get paid not that you have to pay the company ....CHRIST
