Need advice on quitting my job and lying to my boss

You don’t have to disclose a reason. Usually you give 2 weeks notice but the doesn’t sound doable here. If you think you’re capable you could offer to finish some of your work up remotely. You could say something like “I apologize for leaving you short handed and appreciate the opportunity to work here. However, unfortunately due to medical reasons I will need to terminate effective immediately. My final check can be billable [here]. I wish the best in filling the position. Best regards” Doing something like that is completely honest and respectful. There’s a chance you may burn some bridges if people are petty, but you need to do what’s best for you.

You should really be honest and say, "Im struggling and don't feel like I can work safely, I need to leave. I apologize for any trouble"

What about calling voc rehab and getting a job coach

Have applied for disability? You can just tell the boss that you have a disability that makes it very difficult to do things.

honestly i was the same way but i was stuck at the job for over a year and i was so done with it, i just never showed up again. is it a bad example? yes, but it feels refreshing to leave a job that brings you down so much. again, walking out isn’t the prettiest option since you give no one a heads up, but to be fair i did tell my coworkers that one day imma just quit and i did so they had already knew that i was gone. listen to the others if you don’t wanna go my way, but if this job is bringing you down mentally, get outta there as soon as possible or you’ll be stuck like me, working for a bad company for over a year.

So true!

I'll add that unless you want to use this job as a reference later, you don't need to worry about their feelings when you leave. Many states in the USA are at-will states, which usually refers to the fact that employers can fire you at any time for just about any reason (exceptions for protected classes), but it also means you as an employee can quit at any time for any reason. The "two weeks notice" thing is just a courtesy, it's not a legal requirement. You can boogie in the middle of a shift if you want to. Anything more than sending an email to your boss that says "I'm resigning from my position, effective immediately. Please mail my final check to (address)." is optional.

It’s totally acceptable to send a “letter of resignation” most places have you send an email when you quit just so they have it in writing. They are usually simple “I need to end my employment at (insert company) effective (insert date).” Then maybe something like “thank you for the opportunity.” And sign your name. That’s all you need. Just the fact that you’re done so they aren’t left wondering. As a manager I would appreciate any sort of update from you! Sometimes we worry! Zoey is right. You could also ask if there’s anyone you can talk to about “reasonable job accommodations.” Legally they have to listen and try. You don’t have to tell your direct boss you are on the spectrum if it’s a large enough company. You can tell your HR person everything and they can filter out what your direct report needs to know to meet your needs. If you and your therapist decided you need to quit then do what’s best. Just try not to leave them hanging. If you are worried about how they will take it you could send a separate personal message. I would still try to keep it short and to the point.

Hi if you are planning on quitting you don’t need to give a reason unless you would like to - some companies have medical leave options if you wanted to pursue that you could speak with your doctor as well as HR at the company?
