Hello once again MyLotters. Good evening. I am Rowena and I would like to ask your opinion on how you're going to resign from your present full time job, if you have one. Well, I am an Accountant here in the Philippines. My work, they say, is very routinary, and that is what I was hoping also. But lately, everything seems to be very disorganized, as there are too many people who wants to take care this company I am working with. Actually, it is a family owned business, single proprietorship with issues of propriety among siblings. What I don't understand lately is the fact, that too many people are asking for accounting reports but they don't understand it. What is happening is that, these people are taking it against me, that I am like this and like that, that I am not giving the proper reports to them. I am so much confused as to whom I am going to report, how I wish I have one boss only. In the middle of all rush, I am sometimes fed up and wanting to resign immediately. How should I do it? Please help. Thanks.

I guess, do not resign immediately for they need your help since you are handling the important area in a business. Maybe you could provide them what they need and if possible, advise/recommend/suggest to them that all of you must conduct a meeting so you could also explain to them all their questions at the same time. Then, you could submit a resignation at least before you will leave the company you made the right thing.

unless you have alot of money saved up, I recommend that you look for a new job and dont hand in your resignation until you have a written job offer. You are far more likely to get a new job if you are still working. As soon as you quit your job, an employer could question why you are not working and will give the job to someone who is still working instead of you. I recommend that you tell your boss that you are going to start looking for another job, and just be honest. Say that you enjoyed it initially but that you are getting a little fed up and so you want to look for something a little different. Let them know that its not a reflection on them as an employer but that you just feel the need to move on. I have found in the past that the more open I am with my bosses, the more co-operative they are with letting me have time off for interviews. Hand in a letter of resignation only when you have a written confirmation of a job (after you have been for an interview) or you may find that you are stuck with no job and nothing to support yourself. Good luck!

Nah, don't think I am going to resign from my present job, since I am under a bond. I feel tired and fed up at times, but isn't that the case for all the full time jobs? Isn't it the same for every single job? If that's the case, then nobody would want to have full time jobs anymore.

If you have a new job and can't stand this current position, it's okay to give a month notice and quit. If not, it's better to be patient and wait for a bit longer. It's true that sometime job can be too stressful and unbearable. But the economy of this world is not so good right now, it's probably hard to get a new job immediately.

For me if i dont like the job anymore I have to notify . But sometimes its hard to begin how to say goodbye for a job. But nothing we can do if we dont like the job or the people aroud our company than to reder our resignation.
