Hi,

Last week I got team leader position in a very renowned company .I am getting a good salary. After working for 1 month, I just realized that I have taken wrong decision by joining this company. My boss makes me feel stupid .I do not like my boss attitude. He is very short tempered and hostile towards everyone. He always criticizes me in public. He looks for the slightest thing to criticize. My boss drives me nuts. He expects me to know all the things about the job, even though I joined 1 month ago. All my coworkers have accepted his behavior and do not want to quit job.

In my previous job, I had a nice working environment. My boss was very soft spoken and cooperative. I cannot work in this company. I am eager to join my previous company.

Please advice me how does it affect my resume if I leave this job without giving any notice?

Is it difficult to get new job after leaving my current job?

Otto

Otto,

Your boss is a peckerhead, but you already know that. Chances are he'll own the place one day. Amazing, isn't it?

You make it sound rather certain that your former employer will take you back. If that's the case, gather up your stuff and go back where you're not stuck spending the day in hell.

If you've not yet talked to them, however, then yes, walking out without a notice is never a good thing to do. That is, it's "never" unless it's a case in which you know you have to put physical distance between your employer and yourself as soon as possible and regardless of the consequences of not giving a notice. And contrary to popular belief, there is life, and employment, after walking out without a notice.

Remember, employers terminate employment all the time without a notice so even though they may not like it, they do understand people quitting without giving a notice. Two words: "At will." It works both ways, you know.

But I'd try, with all my might, to hang in there until you do find something else. Tell the potential employers you'll be giving a two week notice. When something comes your way, quit and enjoy and a nice little vacation. But chances are the moment you tell your current employer you're giving a two-weeks' notice, he's going to tell you to leave the premises anyway. In that case, you still have a vacation or, better yet, call the new eimployer and tell him you can start immediately. Again, without you ever saying a word, the new employer will KNOW what happened because he's probably done the same thing to others.

It's a silly game they like to play.

Nothing but the best to you. For now, ignore the jerk. He really isn't worth the attention your've giving him.

You don't want to leave your job without giving a notice period. It is stipulated in your contract, otto!

If you feel you want to leave, leave in the right way. Bring good arguments and try to leave a door open, even if you never want to enter it again. It doesn't matter you don't like your boss, do it the right way because you will help yourself for the future. Every prospective employer would want to know the reasons for which you left this job...after 1 month, after you have just been promoted. So do it right!

If your previous employer has already agreed to offer you a position (preferebly in writing), tell your current employer of your intention to leave & see if you can negotiate a shorter notice period. As you have only been there for a month, there is a possibility they would accept a shorter notice.

If you don't have a wriiten offer, it is preferable to wait until you have an offer.

Each boss working style differs, if you can work only under a boss who is sweet then you are going to be building a wall for yourself.

It is stressful to work under a boss who is tough, but your tenure in this company is short and you have agreed that your designation and pay scale are good. talk to your current boss and give him a feedback on how his approach affects everybody around. we did it to our boss and it worked.

try before you quit.

I agree that a tough boss will strengthen you.
