To warn job that I want to quit?

[noclue2]

Rather than committing to work I hope not to be there to complete? Someone else will have to do it, they are unlikely to replace me. Puts pressure on the team.

Interview for another job this week, but wouldn't be able to resign until mid next week, if I get the job. Having a chat with manager and he will expect me to commit to this work today. Not sure what to do?

Nope. You might not get the job and once they know you are interviewing elsewhere it certainly won't be the same. Don't say anything. Things can be reorganised if you get the job.

No. Only tell them at the point of having something to tell them which will be your letter of resignation. At this point in time, you are committed as you have no other job to go to.

No, not until you’ve got another job offer/contract.

How long is your notice period?

It's not the sort of organisation where they will make things awkward. The reason why I'm leaving unfortunately means it isn't going to work either way. It's a less than ideal situation!

Appreciate there is a perceived risk to me in mentioning it though, and none in keeping quiet. Other than dealing with the frustration of fruitless plans!

Notice period is a week. I've not been there long, they already know I'm unhappy.

Bad move if you tell them, all though I appreciate you are trying to be fair. It won’t go well for you if you don’t get the job and have to stay.

Not the sort of organisation that won’t make things awkward? Do you work with robots? Any work place can become awkward if people feel slighted, it’s the human element.

No, if they already know you’re unhappy they’ll be expecting it anyway. They’ll sort out the work allocation when you leave

Trying not to be too outing. I work from home, they barely talk to me as it is, so doubt anything would change.

Thank you everyone for your replies. Think I'd best keep quiet, much as I'm finding it difficult.

Don't tell, it's your bosses responsibility to have some sort of contingency plan in case you get hit by a bus or something

They already know you're unhappy? Sounds like it doesn't matter if you tell them then as you've obviously been vocal about your feelings anyway.

Generally I wouldn't tell an employer I was leaving until I had a firm offer in writing for a new job.

Someone I worked with did this and they ended up pushing him out early, so I’d be careful

Don't say anything until you get the new job.

I had this last summer. I committed to doing additional training when I was thinking about leaving. I wish I didn't do it knowing how things turned out, but if I had ended up having to stay it made my life much easier to do it.

As a previous poster said, someone who used to work in my department did the same: said to our manager she wasn't happy and wasn't planning on staying long if improvements weren't made. Her work life was made extremely miserable for the last three months that she was there. I understand what you are trying to do, but I'd tread carefully. If there are projects that you dont want to contribute to, just do as little work as possible on them, or "forget." It won't matter in the long run if you are leaving.
