I'm looking for a new job but the scariest part is actually telling everyone at work I'm leaving specifically my colleagues. I think I'll be able to tell myanager I'm leaving relatively more easily but I can't picture going into work and telling everyone. I was going to take up a job although it was only for a month at Royal Mail and although it would have been ok I though 'I can't leave and tell people I've got a new job for only one month' so decided not to go through with it which I suppose was the right decision. However given the right job offer I wonder if I will be able to go through with it for the Royal Mail job I didn't see it as being good enough of a reason to quit. Subconsciously I don't know whats going on maybe I think everyone's thinking 'he better have a good excuse for leavinng' ie a half decent job compared to this one. I was their little ****** boy anyway in this job as I was just a volunteer then an apprentice to begin with so to get a better job than anyone there might come across as a bit of a shock to them although I know that's a petty excuse not to leave my job. I'm just too afraid of people's reaction especially as they known I been looking for ages

Maybe they'll be happy for you, since they already know you have been looking.

The only person that really needs to know is a manager, right? If you get a better opportunity, just do it. You don't need to tell anyone you're leaving unless they'd really need to know. That's my opinion anyway!
