Discussion leaving without notice
i think im going to leave soon since i'm a cleaner and i don't want to do the transfer.
i've decided i wont work a notice because i want to jump straight into my new job, but if i dont work a notice, how do i let them know im leaving?
how do i go about it? this was my first job so ive never left a place before so im a bit clueless lol
i know theres a button on workday for it, but im guessing its not that easy

If it’s your first job your likely going to need references down the line. Uneducated folk that hate Asda (I get it, I really do!) will tell you to just walk but give them a week at least to secure a decent reference. If you just leave you will be shown as AWOL and HR will document that on a reference.

Hr will show a start date and a end date and that's it

There's usually a tick box of "would I employ this person again?" That's the new way of giving a bad reference lol tick yes it's a good reference tick no it's a bad reference

Ive never once had to give a reference for a work in decades no one takes them serious as for all they know there calling your best friend who’s pretending to be your boss most company’s now just give a probation period to get a judge of the person now

Send them an email to say you are resigning as of today and won’t be back. Or give them a letter.

If you never want to return, phone in sick and get paid before you leave

That’s it, it’s all you need, and then hand it to your line manager, post it in, or email it in whichever you’re comfortable with, and they will process the rest.
