I hate my job... can I just write to them and say I'm not coming back?

[littlemissbossy]

Just got back from work... I absolutely HATE the job I'm doing. I know it would probably be unprofessional of me, but can I just write to my employers and tell them I'm resigning and not returning?

yes but you would have to work your notice period

or lose your pay.

Nobody can force you to turn up, but do think of references in the future? - in my worst job, I did find that the least awful four weeks were the four weeks I worked once I knew I was leaving. Was quite cheerful by the end.

You could go off sick

I actually don't care about the money (well I do) but if I have to spend one more day or even hour in that place my head will explode!!!

yeah acnebride is right... it may make future employers wary

Have you been doing the job for a long time? If not, you can leave and just don't mention it on your CV

Since February, although it feels like years TBH. I liked the job I was doing at first and they were happy with me - however things change don't they - and I'm now doing something else and I hate it

Find a new job first have you applied for anything. What kind of job is this and why do you hate it so much.

Would you go back to the old job if it were available?

If so, then leave and sue them for constructive dismissal? If not, then take a couple of days sick just to be sure, and resign if you still want to?
