Today, while trying to quit my horrible job at a pizza place, I got so nervous that I accidentally offered to work double my usual hours for another month. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was sick, so I went into work to see if I could get my shift covered, instead of just calling in. I ended up working an extra hour. FML
Today, after trying so hard to get myself back on my feet, I had an amazing interview and I was hired on the spot. I was so happy, until I read the position I was given, and it turns out I didn't get full-time, I got barely enough hours to even be part-time. FML
Today, my company decided to give me a second role, since I’m "the best performing candidate.” When I turned it down, they asked me to work half-time instead. I quit. FML
Today, I found out my job is trying to get me to quit. FML
Today, while trying to get my boss to reconsider laying off much of my department, I accidentally convinced him to lay me off too. FML
Today, after working 12 shifts in the past 8 days at 2 jobs and thinking today was a day off, I got the call that I misread my schedule and I was in fact scheduled. Got off at 2:30 am, work again at 9 am with 9 shifts to go this week. FML
Today, I had my first shift as a server at a restaurant after getting stuck behind an accident and arriving late, apologizing profusely. Apparently no one knew I'd been hired but I was still yelled at for tardiness. They then made me clean a fridge for 4 hours and paid me in pizza. FML
Today, I quit my job, mainly because I didn't work enough hours and thus, earn enough money. In the past, they said there isn't any other paid work they could provide. They've now added different tasks, more money, and more hours to the position. I'm helping to find a replacement for a job I would otherwise apply to. FML
Today, after working for over a decade at the same place, I was formally written up with two days of leave without pay for refusing to work extra overtime. I've been working over 80 hours a week for four months now and even cancelled some very important plans so I could work every day. FML
Today, after informing my boss that I needed stress leave from my 70-hour-a-week shifts, I got my new work assignment. Sixty hours a week, starting at 2 a.m. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Write down a notice of resignation. If you write it out and hand it to the manager you won't be so nervous you can't speak up, and it looks more professional. Good luck OP

I had that happen at a job once. I get terrible social anxiety. What might help you is to type out a nice resignation letter (instead of verbally saying that you're quitting). Say that you will work those double hours, since you made a commitment but, also, say you will be leaving after that 1 month is plenty of notice (you're only required to give two weeks). Hand it to your boss (preferably at the end of your shift in case there's any kind of confrontation). Good luck!

OP must be my doppelganger, because this is literally my life. Same job and debilitating anxiety. I feel your pain!

Just tell them it was a mistake and that you need to quit, unless you really are prepared to work that many hours. :)

It's a bit cowardly but you could just not show up or answer their calls.

It's OK. You're not the first person to quit, and you won't be the last. You aren't going to break your boss's heart or insult her/him personally. This is simply business, and they'll understand.
