How to quit a job you just started working one month ago

Question

You should first make sure that you do not have contractual obligations to stay in your position, and then, if you are in the clear, you can put something in writing and discuss it with your boss to quit.

Often, you should come prepared to talk to your boss about quitting. This preparation could include a two weeks' notice. When you give your two weeks' notice to your boss, you should have a plan of how you want to discuss this with them. Be sure to be clear and concise. Make sure you have a clear end date.

It is not uncommon for people to quit jobs shortly after starting, as a lot of times you learn that the environment does not work for you only after you begin working. You can choose to disclose this to your boss, or not. You do not need a specific reason to quit, so you can just say that it isn't working out and then move on from there.
