This happens in Germany.
Work culture doesn’t fit my personality: I don’t talk much, I keep to myself, I simply want to do my job and go home, I separate my personal life from work, my colleagues are full fledged gossips, ignore the duties that need to be done and then expect me to help them when they are late. I don’t have patience for that crap anymore.
Due to internal regulations, I have to stay on the unit for 4 weeks after sending my notice. Answering honestly the question of why I’m quitting would ensure that they yell at me and bully me, and I don’t want to experience that again. Even saying ‘it’s none of your business’ ensures that they feel insulted and start yelling. I have decided I don’t have patience for people like that anymore.
So, what do I say?
Say you make more money from your Only Fans. I just makes more sense to do it full time now.
Just say, “I don’t feel passionate about this work and I want to look for something that I find more fulfilling.”
The colour of the walls irritates me.
I just need to find myself.
This damnable prison of log and ice eats away at my fibre. I find the lack of culture astonishing.
"I found something better, but I’m not able to divulge what it is at this time. "
Or
“You! You’re the reason I’m quitting.”
“I won the lottery! No, you can’t have any.”
Or, Give each of them a different reason and watch them go crazy trying to figure it out.
Because HR and I do not agree on what constitutes sexual harassment, so I choose to take my talent elsewhere.
Fucking hell, even just saying that would terrify employers enough to STFU.
Will they find out that you quit? Would your supervisor tell them?
Also can’t you just use your remaining vacations and call in sick to reduce the amount of time interacting with them?
Just a note on this one. He may not have told his supervisor, at least where I live you don’t have to tell them why.
Not the reason, just that they quit. Some supervisors wouldn’t tell the staff for a number of reasons
My cat has asthma, we’re moving to a drier climate.
It’s the triple boring combo of pets, manageable illness, and moving.
Say something like:
“It’s best not to discuss such details at this time”
Which will tell them, yes, there is a good reason, no, I can’t tell you since I don’t trust you.
You will never get in trouble for something like that since you literately are not saying anything.
The bonus part is that if the coworker is cool, they can just reach out to you a week or two after you left and you can be honest if you think they are worth it.
If you risk people yelling at you for stopping, simply tell them there’s too much yelling and drama for you.
Also if you have paid sick leave you could simply get ill depending on where you are and on union agreements at least here where I am, the employer has no right to know why you are sick. Just that you are. After a certain number of days/weeks they can ask for a doctors notice that you indeed can’t work. But still the proof does not need to explain your illness. It just needs to confirm that you are not able to work. Most doctors will understand the strain of having to be somewhere where youre under this sort of pressure
Yeah I second this. OP’s workplace sounds toxic as hell, so getting a doctors note for being stressed out is fine I think.
By the time I quit a place, the reasons are well-known. I guess I’m lucky that way! :-D
You’re kinda asking non German people how to deal with German people I’m not sure you’ll get what you’re looking for here
