Quitting job after 5 weeks - how do I hand in my notice?

[confusde]

I accepted this role under the illusion that I would be using my skill set more however this hasn’t been the case, I feel like the job isn’t for me also my team aren’t how I expected them to be.

My colleague always gets passive aggressive when I make a mistake and makes me feel like a child, my manager is a good source of help most of the time but she often makes unnecessary remarks when I struggle to understand something which I find really off putting and is affecting my work (I have mentioned this and still continues). I also don’t like the micromanaging. It’s affecting my sleep and I dread everyday I go in, feeling sick and I’ve had enough. When I was crying on the phone to DH about it on my lunch break - I knew something had to change.

I have managed to secure something else and need to hand in my resignation. How do I go about doing it? Should I chat with my manager about it first or should I hand my notice in? Thanks

Just hand in your notice. If asked, the job just wasn't a good fit for me.
They may do an exit interview, in which case you can be more specific

I quit a job after five weeks it just wasn't for me I had another job lined up I dreaded telling my manager but in the end she was super cool about it I dressed it up as another unexpected job opportunity that had presented itself and dream job type scenario she went with that. I was so relieved after I'd told them. The shortest ever time I've spent in a job

I think you should hand in your notice and don’t feel under pressure to give a big explanation of why. Just say that you found a role that is a better fit. Even though there’s lots you could say, sometimes it’s better to keep it brief. and if they try to make you stay, or want to delve into reasons why, again keep it brief and professional and you’ll be fine .

Just hand your notice in, no need to have a chat about it first.

I know plenty of people who have quit after a day, a week, or a few weeks. You never know what a job is like until you start.

I've been in a job for a week before and left. The role was heavily dressed up at interview and, when I got there, I realised it wasn't what I thought it was.

Just say the job wasn't the right fit or, as a previous poster said, say your dream job came up. I'd personally opt to just be honest as it helps them out a bit and also makes it better for the next candidate in the role as well. Do whatever works for you though.

I'd tell my manager I needed a quick chat, let them know that I would be handing my notice in later that day and it was just a quick courtesy chat before I did so. Then I'd usually explain my reasons- you can be as honest as you want, say whatever you feel most comfortable saying. And then keep the email formal and just acknowledge your expected last day.

If the team has a bad culture like this one sounds like they do they will no doubt have trouble retaining people anyway. Regardless of what you say I imagine they probably have an idea your colleague is difficult to work with etc.
