For those of us who had to work during the summer, how you you guys quitting? I have to quit this week and I have no idea what to say. I've only been at my job for about 3 weeks and my boss is going on vaca next week. They think I'm here for the long run but man are they wrong.

How old are you, that you don't know how to quit/ leave a job?

A: Don't show up anymore, and get your final paycheck later.

B: Write a letter stating this is your last week, and your sorry for any inconvenience, and thank them for the opportunity.

Well I'm 22, and i quit my summer job last year too. However that was a large dermatologist office with many employees. The place I'm working at is small and its really busy. I just feel bad telling them I have to leave since they think I'm here long term. I've thought of just not showing up

The worst thing you can do is not show up when you're scheduled to work. Remember that it's important to be a young professional, especially if you're going into a career in podiatry/medicine. How would you like it if you owned your own practice and an employee you counted on just decided not to show up? You should have given a two week notice last week, and made it clear when they were hiring you that you were only working there temporarily.

As natorx stated, try writing a letter and giving it to your boss in an in-person meeting so you can discuss the situation like adults. You never know where you will end up working or who you will be working with. Don't let this come back and bite you in the bum later 😉.

Simply tell that you have to start med school in two weeks.
You can sugar coat it a bit by telling them that if they need you during summers, you will be back?

and yes, a letter would be good.
If you can, tell your boss personally.

There are some places you can find work seasonally, that actually work with students so that they can come back over breaks. No one wants to hire for three weeks, because no one wants to train someone to work for just three weeks. They are putting their time and energy and money into you too.
