Employee Questions How to quit Five Below
I feel bad for quitting cause my store needs more people to close but I’ve grown tired so should I just text or call my store manager and tell her I’m quitting or?

I wanna quit too. Im tired of being the only closing manager with normally one other person when morning shifts during the week have had up to 7 people! Then listening to the SM complain about everything...like...I'm ONE person. I can't get it all done! And we are a legacy store so my front end help has to stay up there to check people out...only by 8 can they leave because I'm having them do go backs while I fold what shirts need to be folded while running the register. I get done what I can...

Five Below will run you into the ground. It’s all up to you how much abuse you’re willing to accept before you leave.

If your manager has been good to you, give them two weeks. If they have not, shoot them a text saying you are resigning immediately. If they have been really bad, just no call/no show.

I was about to make a post just like this too. Part of me wants to not give a two week notice and just straight up quit but another part of me wants to keep it professional

i wrote a short note and placed it in the office on the desk. putting it in two weeks in advance is a courtesy so they will have time to find coverage but it’s not required. just state the date of the last day you will be able to work in the note

If you have a good team or management I recommend putting in two weeks it gives them time to find coverage and it’s the most professional thing you can do. If they give you any shit for it they they’re obviously not worth staying for they should be understanding.

It doesn’t really matter. Depends on how much you like your manager. They will replace you in a week so 🤷♂️

I just stopped showing up one day. Pretty sure my old coworkers think I died. Haha.

I talked to my Marketing Manager and told him that I was resigning. He wished me well and I turned in my shirts a few weeks later.

You can do either doesn't really matter in the end just try to leave on good terms if you use this job on your resume.
