Well, I have already worked there for 2 weeks (3 weeks including training) and I am 100% positive that I do not want to work there any longer. Mostly for the same reasons that have been posted over and over again on here.

The whole "dreading to go to work the next day" feeling has already kicked in. I just believe that given my education and my previous job experience, I am well over qualified to be working here for dirt pay and slave hours. I have never had a job that made me want to go home and do absolutely NOTHING when I got there, night after night. Now the wife is complaining about my hours and that I never feel like doing anything and she is getting sick of me always complaining.

I am not trying to use Enterprise as a reference or put them on my resume or anything like that, so would it really even matter if I put my 2 weeks in if I have only been there for 3 weeks? I didn't think there was any need to.

I guess my bigger question would be what is the best way to quit in my situation. Just walk in and say hey I quit? I'm being serious. I don't want to "no call, no show", but I hate that place and don't want to be there 2 more weeks.

Thanks to any and all replies.

I think everyone that quits Enterprise, in some way, shape or form, wants to go out in style. I had a whole plan worked out to go out on a pick up on a busy Friday afternoon, dump the car somewhere and have a friend pick me up, never to set foot in the office ever again. It didn't quite work out that way - I was an assistant manager, I liked everyone at my branch and I needed a few people in the company as references so I did the "right" thing and put in a written two week notice so as not to burn any bridges.

You, however are in the perfect position to go out any way you want. You've only been there two weeks, so they haven't really invested anything into you as an employee. You don't plan to put them on a resume, so it doesn't matter what they think of you when you leave, and here's the best part - it's May. What does that mean? It's college graduation time my friend, in about two weeks there will be a whole new crop of new hires in your region and you'll be dismissed with a "he couldn't hack it anyway".

So it's all up to you - how do you want to go out? Even though you've only worked there two weeks you've still met a lot of people and you never know who you'll run into down the line. You can go out the "right way" by telling them you decided it just wasn't the career for you and putting in your two weeks - they'll most likely tell you to leave on the spot and you'll be forgotten before you know it. You also have the chance to do what most of us on here wish we could have done - give the company a big "Fuck You" and go out in a blaze of glory. Keep us posted on what you decide to do.
