I have been working at this one-person law firm for six months now. The only reason I am needed is to translate for some clients. However that is not enough to fill my day and I am really bored. This job is also not what I want to do in the future and I see no growth opportunity for myself. I have a few interviews lined up and I am waiting to see if they turn out to be job offers.I have been thinking about how to tell my boss I will quit. He’s sort of unpredictable so I can’t predict his reaction and that makes it more difficult to start the conversation. Although I know what I want to tell him and what my reasons are, I’m not sure how to start the conversation. Another issue is that there are four other women at the law firm and it is very difficult to get a private word without everyone overhearing. Please give me some pointers as to how to start the conversation.
I would talk to him how to resolve the situation but to tell you the truth, I really don’t see any room to grow and if I tell him that I am bored cause there is very little to do, his response is “there’s always something to do here”. It seems like he is delusional sometimes as to what is going on in his own office, even though he is there all the time and is our immediate supervisor as well.
