- Emphasize the positive. Be honest, but polite. If the boss asks you if he or she had anything to do with your decision, and was a factor, it's best to rely on tact and diplomacy to make an honest answer palatable. In other words, you won't help yourself by saying, "Yes, you're a lousy supervisor and I (or anyone) would have been way better," (even if it's true). You can be truthful without being cruel: "It was a factor, but not the entire reason. I felt our working styles and approaches just weren't a great fit, and that we never meshed as well as I wished we had. Still, the overall experience here has been positive; and with this opportunity, I feel excited to have new challenges."

excellent article about when to quit
-
It’s natural to think that you are betraying your boss or company by quitting your job. You’re not! What is your responsibility as an employee? To come in at the scheduled time and put in a full days of dedicated work. If you’re doing this you are being loyal to the company by doing everything they have asked you for. Did the hiring manager state that the job you were taking was “’till death do you part”? Didn’t think so, so you’re not obligated to stay on any longer than you agreed to when you took the position. Plus, when you stay on too long when your needs are not met you become complacent and begin complaining more, and being less and less productive.

I abruptly quit only one job in my life. I was 22, it was the middle of the day, and I just went into my boss’s office and quit. Something had happened that just exceeded my tolerance level, and I couldn’t take it anymore. I was unemployed for six months after that, and I’ve never done it again. But if I had it to do over, I would. Sometimes what you give up in a job is bigger than what you get from it.
