So I've been working at this bank for almost 5 months and (especially lately) the atmosphere has gotten increasingly worse. I'm the only teller, so if I left they would have to find a replacement immediately, and the personal banker (who used to be the other teller) would have to train them.

I'm just to the point where I hate coming to work. The personal banker and I do not get along, the customer service manager and her are in cahoots and play favourites and there is absolutely no communication of anything to me, then I get yelled at when either something isn't taken care of or the manage told me how to do something incorrectly.

I've been keeping an ongoing documentation of things that happen everyday, and I'd really like to quit, just not sure if I should just walk or or give my two weeks. I sat down with the two managers last week (and I was getting in trouble for more things that were out of my control) and explained to them that I felt like favourites were played and that I was unhappy, but to no avail.

Any advice would be fabulous, thank you!

Many states are now 'at will' employment which means you do not have to give any notice and they can fire you 'on the spot' So you really don't have to go back at all and if they are treating you that bad then I would say you don't owe them the time of day.
Of course they can give you a bad reference, but sounds like they probably would anyway.

Yeah, pretty much. And I know WA is an at will state. I just feel bad cos I've never walked out before....I stayed at a job for 2.5 years and didn't even walk out...but its like when your mom is telling you to just grab your stuff and not go back, its probably something that needs to be done...

N0help4u

Yeah I think it would be better to just not go back than to walk out.
Call in sick---sick of the job!

Rockstar714

Yeah, thanks!

you will have to live with this choice for years, as you get new jobs and they call for reference checks. Leaving without notice can stop you from getting future jobs, I was asked about if I gave notice to a prior job today in a job interview, that job wa 12 years ago. ** I did give notice.

So if possible you always give notice.

Sounds like she would get a bad reference anyway and she can always be up front when she applies for jobs that they were making it impossible on her.

I believe that giving a two week notice is the professional thing to do. Even if they let you go earlier, you will be able to tell future employment prospects that you gave your notice and they decided to let you go if that happens.

You will be able to say that you gave notice and then the next employer should give you a chance to explain the situation.

Then there is another possibility, in the grand scheme of things you really haven't been there that long. In the future you not find a need to list this employment anyway.
