    I have been in my current job about 10 weeks now, in the last 2 weeks my hours were changed to much later hours so i decided to look for a new job.

    Inititially i went on 3 job interviews over the space of 2 weeks. One in a law firm, a bank and an investment bank.

    I decided to go with the law firm as they showed the best values and the job is exciting and challanging. I could have waited for the other 2 to make offers but i didnt get the same feel about them.

    The new position is alot more challanging and advanced than my current job. It also helps that the hours are only 9-5 M-F.

    I planned on telling my boss today but i was informed this morning that she is working from home today and just a few mins ago i found out she is working from home tomorrow and monday. So i cant tell my boss i am leaving face to face and that is just ****ty. I wanted to tell her personally and now it looks like i will have to call her. To make matters worse we are going home to ireland on saturday so it has to be tomorrow. I have already told my new boss in the law firm and i start there in jan 2nd.

    Its just all very messy and not the way i wanted to tell my boss who gave me my first job when i was allowed to work here in the states.

    I dont know what to do now.

    Just tell her as it is - but I think you must also inform her in writing either a letter which is dated. Explain to her that unfortunately the job is not what you though it would be, you feel you'd be better placed with the new law firm and that the hours are more suitable for your life style. Also say that you don't want to waste her time too either by training etc etc. Phone her first and then send the e-mail but keep the e-mail brief. Good luck Miss Thing
