    They've known there have been problems for a while - so it shouldn't have been a surprise.

    Why do they need my written notice so badly yet couldn't give me a contract or copy of the company policy?



    You do sound incredibly unprofessional, im sorry but it's true.


    it shouldn't be a surprise - it probably wasn't. But that doesn't mean you just stand up and walk out. Now you're arguing about literally two lines of text.

    It was the change of tone and the insistence that I do it!

    If those are your objections then you seriously need to get over yourself.

    But, if you want to be an @rse about it, then no, in the absence of a contract you don't have to give them a resignation letter. Just like they don't have to give you any pay they might owe you.
  • I'm not 'arguing', I'm asking and 'professionalism' doesn't come into it.:rotfl:

    I never knew if I was going to have a job to go to the next week!
  • I guess they are just insisting, in case you later say that didn't happen, so they are able to re-advertise etc.

    Had one job that I gave up, they lead me back to my PC asked me to type a letter before allowing me out. Though this was going back a few years.

    There is a thing about handing in notice in heat of moment on direct.gov so could be why it's being asked for.

    I'm certainly not being an @!!!!! I want to avoid being bitten on it though!

    It was a rash thing to do. I wasn't planning on leaving. I'm not sure what my rights are about money/holiday owed . . and if I loose them the minute I say I walked out.


    Is there anyone that actually gives advice - just general

    So in other words you have walked out and are not going to go back but you don't want to put it in writing in case you are in the wrong?
  • You could have written a 12,000 word essay on your reasons for leaving by now....

    Too busy Google Mapping local businesses!

    Are you going to be needing a reference from them at some point? Assuming you get an interview elsewhere, what will you tell your prospective new employer about your employment history?

    How condescending are you?

    I'll tell them the truth - that it didn't work out and I prefer the type of work that they are offering!

    And your previous employer will say:


    OMT walked out of the job one day and didn't return
