Quitting a summer job
Some days, my summer job at a local fitness club is sucking up pretty much all my time and requires me to work a lot more hours than I expected (Sometimes close to 50 over 2 weeks). I've collected more than plenty of money from my paychecks and don't really need the money anymore. I'm getting really sick of working Wednesday, which I usually end up working 9am-4pm. Yuck!
Is there a polite way to let your boss know that you want to quit working? The thing is, we're on a 2 week set schedule and I would feel like a do0uche if I just stop coming to work or something.

[quote=Novelist]Really? You're whining about 25/hrs a week? That's like 3 days of full 8 hour shifts. But no, you're going to complain about 9-4, which isnt even a full shift either.

Yeah really, I'd be glad to even have a job with that many hours, considering how hard it is to find work in the first place
You can give him your 2 week notice or just stop showing up, but that's considered burning bridges and might affect any small jobs you try to get in the future.
I hate my summer job too!
But i actually have to work full time 8 hours a day in the hot burning sun T_T.
50 hours over two weeks sounds pretty nice to me. You get a good balance of time off and money. I guess if you don't need the money, then if feels kinda pointless.
For me, I used to hate working, but now that I have a car and my license, it all seems worth it. I'm happy to put in 35~40 hours a week.

Just ask him to lighten up the load since you can't handle it.
