[quote=Anonymous]I need to know the best way to go about this. I started a job in February. They haven't really held up their end of how the position was supposed to work (I deal heavily with board members, and the board members are not doing their board duties, so I'm kind of stuck unable to do much). I am bored out of my mind, have enough work to maybe last me 2 hours a day, and generally unhappy.

So, I decided to go to graduate school 500 miles away. I thought I'd leave in August. Now, with the current work situation, I don't see a reason to stay and am actively interviewing in the new city this coming Friday and Monday with the expectation that I will be in the new city this time next month, making it 4 months at my present company. What is the best way to go about telling them that I am leaving? They really should just save their money and maybe get a part time person to replace me since half of my job duties never materialized. It's a nonprofit so they could even probably get away with just a volunteer.

Should I give them the full picture, including why I am unhappy at the company, or should I just play it off as I decided to go to graduate school and have to move, etc? And also, when should I do this? With moving expenses I really do need to keep working up til the end. [/quote]
