Handing in notice etiquette. Is there such thing?
I really want to get out of my current rubbishy job, but 2 people have left in the last 2 months, so I keep thinking that I should grin and bear it for a while to let the dust settle before I leave.
But then i've spoken to others and they've said to go and dont worry about anything like that because you're staying in a job you are miserable in, so get out if you can. Especially as I wanted to be settled into a new job ideally by November/ early December and i'm on a bloody months notice...
What do you think? Should I wait a while before handing in notice due to all the previous departures, or should I just high tail it out of there? Does it seem rude or like I'm jumping with everyone else?

:yes: Jobs are like relationships I reckon - there's rarely a good time to leave if you're unhappy, but you owe it to yourself to move on as soon as you can if you keep coming back to the conclusion there's no future in it. On a practical level, (unlike relationships!) it's often better for find a new one before you leave, so it might be best to get job hunting before you hand in your notice (if you haven't started already) good luck.
Im the first of 9 people to leave within the next two months, of a 16 person staff.
Im lucky, if you want to get out, have a new job to go to, just do it
I think that could be applicable to some relationships
I'm going to hand in my notice tomorrow, to leave on the 21st. I gave my notice several weeks ago, in a ccd email to my manager / her boss, they said fine and everything but I need to do an official signed letter.
I don't think there's a certain way of going about handing in your notice; but I would personally do it quietly and not make a big deal out of doing it.
