Many of us are stuck in dead end jobs that we cannot stand and wish we could climb our way out of. Thousands of people purchase lottery tickets every week in hopes that one day they will win and can walk into work the next day and tell everyone to suck eggs.

For conversations sake, let's assume you’re not going to become a multimillionaire overnight.

So, you have to come up with a simple way to politely tell your employer to take a hike… off a cliff… into a vat of piranhas.

For someone who would like to leave on good terms:

Step 1: Have another job lined up. Sadly, we don’t have the luxury of being unemployed and still be able to live the life we want. Because of that, you have to have some other form of employment at the ready for when you finally break up with your current job.

Step 2: Prepare your finances. Depending on when you start your new job… that you will probably also hate… you want to make sure you have enough money to sustain your bills while you are transitioning.

Step 3: Send a polite and compliment filled email to your supervisor advising of your departure and give them the opportunity to find your replacement within two weeks.
