How do I tell my boss I'm leaving? (nicely)?

"I'm leaving!" "Thanks for this opportunity, but..." "It's been a great [x years/months], but I'm moving on to better things." You have no responsibility to be 'nice,' just be professional!

The first thing to do is to write down a list of all the pros and cons of leaving your job. Then, start drafting up a letter. The most important things that you must do no matter what the situation, is to remain on positive terms with all of your managers. Even if the job and the treatment there is literally the worst, remain on good terms with your managers. You will need to write a letter suggesting that you would like/need to try something different, are going for training elsewhere, but would definitely like to stay in contact with the company should things not work out. Play heavily on the whole 'I would like to come back one day' unless you have such a major complaint it would be worth suing over - and then you just keep your letter as neutral as possible. Unless it is a situation where you really absolutely have no choice but to sue - but.. that is something you would need legal advice over, and I doubt that this question is referring to that situation. Hope this helps.

Bring a certain series of situations and tell him what you feel about your job in a polite way. If your boss is a wise man, he will understand it but he will also try to convince you though. Its up to you how you handle the situation.

Why "nicely," as opposed to expressing yourself honestly and in such a way as to represent your respect for your boss and your respect for yourself?

I recently left my job at a factory to follow my dreams of being a nurse. I simply went in to the bosses office and said I am sorry but I am following my heart to become a nurse and I would like put my 2 weeks in. He completely understood and was happy I was following my dreams

Leaving a job can be a very bittersweet thing, especially if you enjoy your job. The proper thing when leaving a job is usually writing something called a resignation letter (you can google them and it will bring up some great examples/formats to follow). I would see if you can schedule a quick meeting with your boss, let them know that you are pursuing another job, and give them the letter.

By letting your boss know that how great were the moments with him in your success path and you are taking his best part with you in his teachings.

Politely confront them in a private room where no one else is around. Try to tell them that this job was not right for you at the moment.

It would be best to write them a letter and also let them know how much you appreciate them and working there but you have to do what's best for you and leave.

I was working in a job I absolutely loved but I received a better offer and a higher position job offer in another place. I told my boss as soon as I received the offer and explained that I loved working with him and all of my other colleagues along with loving doing the actual job however I wanted to progress and expand on my knowledge. I also told him that I would happily work my notice period and explained that i told him as soon as I found out as I didn't want to leave him short handed (so he had enough time to look for someone to replace me). He said he understood, wished me the best in the future and said he was sad that there wasn't any promotion spots for me with his company at the moment.
