Good luck, I hope everything goes well! Since I'm still a student all of my jobs have had pre-determined endings, and thus I've not had to quit one yet.

I had to leave a job for this exact reason. Now, my boss lived in a different city that me, but it was still tough, as he had no problem picking up the phone and yelling.

I sent an email with a word attachment at 4:30 pm on a Friday afternoon:

Dear (boss),

Please accept this as notification of my termination of employment with (company). While I have enjoyed my time at (company) I have been offered a job that is more directly in line with my long term career goals.

Thank you,

employee

I was nervous as can be, but it had been pretty bad for a while. The boss reduced me to tears multiple times through the week. I think he read between the lines, as the only time he mentioned it was to say "I wish we could have talked before you accepted the new position".

That was the end of it.

There is no reason to tell them why you are really leaving (nothing good will come of telling them it's their fault). Stick to a "more in line with career goals" approach (or whatever) and think: only two weeks left!

unfortunately, I stuck it out too long....I was miserable. I dreaed going to work, readed the phone ringing, or seeing an email from him.

I think it;s "polite" to give two weeks, but I don't think its a legal requirement....
