When quitting a job that you just started, for whatever the reason, it is always best to leave with the best impression possible. Simply say "I don't feel like this is the right fit for me, therefore, I am going to seek other opportunities". This way, you're not just up and leaving a job.

Sometimes we have to go through difficult situations to grow as a person and learn new things. It's never easy in the present, but when you look back at everything you overcome you'll feel stronger. Opportunities will come and go, learning to adapt and roll with the punches will be easier than focusing on it as a failure.

The Truth. Explain why you're leaving and you should get a lot of respect for telling them why you're leaving and not just walking out. Remember that it happens to a lot of people.. they find a job just is not for them and want to leave. Your probationary period is not just for the employer, it's for you as well.

I would thank them very much for hiring me, but say that the job just isn't the right fit for me at this time. Don't feel pressured to elaborate - be respectful and calm. When the goodbyes are done, look forward to your next step!

Thank them for the opportunity, apologize for the inconvenience of your leaving shortly after starting, and tell them the position just "wasn't the right fit". It's vague enough not to mean anything, but protects you from saying something negative. And never burn bridges, always leave with a smile and them wishing you'd stayed.

I've been lucky to find out this is not the right job for me and I'm brave enough to admit it : )
It's worse if someone find out doesn't like the job after twenty years!

I am greateful for having given the opportunity to join this team. But it's time for me to move onto the next stage in my life. Some stages are shorter than others. I don't make the rules. I wish you and my fellow co-workers well.... But I will be back Friday to pick up my check if you don't mind.

It depends on the reasons you are quitting, but simply letting your employer know that you may not be the right fit for the job. Quitting can be a daunting task especially if you just started, but it happens all the time. It won't have any negative affect on you in the long run, and you can focus on finding something that suits you better.

I think that you just say the truth. Tell your boss the reason why you're leaving your job. He might be disappointed, but if you truly want to quit your job, don't let him talk you out of it. Anyway, good luck to you and I hope that you find a better place to work at :)
