Tell your new boss you have to finish out your time because it's the right thing to do.  They should admire you for that.\n\nIf not then tell your old boss that you're going to lose the other job and that you are sorry to let the down.\n\nJust be honest.  Don't look for excuses or sneaky ways to get out of it.

Just go to your manager, say "when you have a sec, could we have a chat?" That way, the ball is in their court. Make the meeting informal (as much as possible), tell him/her that you've been offered another job (don't say that you looked for the job, it came to you), but you really love this place and don't know if you want to leave. The manager will probably ask why don't you stay? Then you can talk about money. Don't be forceful as though you "deserve" a raise....\nGood luck!

I think this situation would be difficult for most everybody.  You're probably right about resigning quickly.  You might just end up with another bad job out of desperation.  \n\nYour boss screams and shouts because deep down he (I'll assume it's a he) feels powerless and needs to be aggressive to get his way.  Try to remember that he does this out of weakness and not strength.  Genuinely strong people don't need to act this way.  If you can view it as his problem then you won't take it as personally.\n\nTry to document all that happens that is inappropriate: words said, body posture, tone of voice, etc.  Keep dates, times, locations, etc.  In case things go badly you can have this documentation to back you up.  Your boss probably isn't doing this so your case would be stronger.\n\nAcknowledge what your boss says but ask that he say it in a more polite manner.  You may have to keep reminding him of this one :)  If you're able to stand up to him in a firm, yet nonconfrontational way my guess is he would change.  Bullies respect strength.\n\nIf nothing changes, count it as a character building experience and move on!  Hope that helps.

'RESIGNING' IS POLITE TALK FOR "YOU'RE FIRED!".

This may not sound too nice but you have a right to be a little selfish...you have the seniority. If the other person is the one initiating the change, you have a right to express your wishes as well. Just tell your boss that you don't wish to move & that you hope he or she wil respect your wishes. If you are a top-notch performer, you can also point out your various good points that should keep you in said position while also noting that, "I shouldn't have to feel like I am fighting for the job & currently have...but..."\n\nGood luck!

Ask your boss for a promotion or a change of jobs

Hmm...Write up a nice resignation letter, stating how much you have enjoyed working at his firm, your regret at needing to resign, your reasons for leaving, etc. If possible, offer to train your replacement.\n\nIn your situation, the sooner you tell him, the better. That way, he will have more time to hire and train a suitable person before your departure.

Maybe you all could get a pic of the group waving goodbye and put some saying or quote on the bottom of it, frame it and give it to her. Good luck w/the new boss.

Ultimately, you should be bold enough to tell your boss this directly, although I know it can be difficult. If you're going to wind up leaving anyway, what do you have to lose?\n\nYou never know - he could wind up respecting you for your boldness, and could know deep down that you're an asset to the corporation.\n\nI honestly believe that there's a correct and bold way to speak up, but it does carry a risk of getting fired. You need to look within yoiurself for the answer, but I've provided some clues.

Give your boss a reasonable amount of notice before you quit your job.  How long have you been with the company?  How long would it take to train someone in your position?\n\nGive at least a minimum of two weeks notice, but a month would be nicer, so that your boss has time to fill the position and get someone trained before you leave.

The 2-weeks notice is not a law.  But it is very often written in to contracts.  Plus, as someone else said, it is polite to give your employer some notice so that they won't be left 'high and dry' when you leave.  If you want a good reference, being polite and caring about your employer is a good first step.\n\nAlso, if you do give notice, some employers will tell you that you can leave right away, if they don't need the notice.  Or, they might even fire you that day.  Or, as in my experience, they might really need you to stay, and keep putting you on the schedule, even after the 2 weeks is up.  At some point, you have to just stop coming back.  There's no way to know how your employer will respond, but all you can do is to do the right thing, and hope they will too.  \n\nOf course, if you really hate your job and your boss, and you didn't sign a contract, and you will never care about a reference from them, perhaps you just want to quit today.  In that case, there's really nothing stopping you!

I think it would be a mistake to tell your boss that you’re looking for a different job.  You really have no obligation to tell anyone until you submit your official resignation.  Your boss may be nice and you feel guilty for looking for a new job; but, when it comes right down to it, your boss’s priority is covering his butt.  You tell him now that you’re looking to leave, he may very well think that he will give you plenty of time to look for a new job and figure out a way to fire you so he can get someone else hired and trained ASAP.  Besides, people change jobs all the time.  It’s not like he will be totally shocked. \nLook at it this way:  What would you think if the boss came to you and said “look, we’re planning to lay you off some time in the near future.  I’ll let you know when we figure out when.”  \nBut at the same time,  you do have an ethical obligation to give the boss at least two weeks notice, more if your work is highly specialized and/or technical.  Negotiate enough time before your start date with your new employer.  Don’t burn your bridges.  You may want to leave the door open to return if the new job doesn’t workout.

Well since you're moving in January then thats fact ! You have nothing to be shy about. You have a life just like others in which anything can happen. Just go up to your boss and tell him/her that You have something important to discuss and if he/she has time to discuss sit down with'em and tell them that due to whatever circumstances or family decision you will be moving therefore you would like to give notice. Your boss should appreciate your honesty of giving them a heads up in advance rather then just calling in one day and saying you won't be showing up. Atleast you're giving your boss a chance to find your replacement so they would infact appreciate it more.  So don't be shy about it, be very frank and profesional about it. Its a normal thing.

Give them a three week notice for now, and if you find out you will have to leave a little sooner than that, let them know right away! Thats about as fair as it can get without losing a paycheck!
