HVAC Techs: Let's Talk 2 weeks notice and job loyalty!!

[@juan251100]

I was going to put in my two week notice and did not get the chance to.

[@REFRITEKREFRIGERACION]

That happened to me on my previous job. I called to put my 2 weeks notice, Manager got mad at me and told me “just go now” -I said ok. Thanks to him I got a nice 1 week vacation on Christmas and new year before starting my next job.

[@juliochavez4028]

I believe in giving a two week notice when there’s been a mutual respect between the tech and the manager, at the end of the day my loyalty starts with the wife and kids I got at home.

[@raysilva7296]

I've given 2 week notice, and I haven't given 2 week notice. At the end of the day, we were all looking for a job when we landed where we are now. They should have noticed 2 weeks ago I was not happy. Remember fellas in our trade, the company is not our career, it's only a job. Your knowledge is your career, and you can take your knowledge anywhere and have a job. Stay safe out there.

[@robertlamey7612]

What’s funny is businesses want you to give 2 weeks notice but they will lay you off with 0 notice and not think twice about it.

[@REFRITEKREFRIGERACION]

Oh yeah. My previous company they knew someone was getting fire weeks before the date and the manager call you on Friday afternoon to tell you were being fired that day and pick up the truck from you. I have to follow on jobs from techs that were fired, company knew in advance and still let them start the jobs.

[@saugatools402]

I remember when my father worked for a descent size HVAC company, the company changed and the new management were complete assholes to their employees, completely began treating them like shit. This was a company of maybe 25-30 trucks on the road, him and his friends/coworkers planned to all quit at the same time, about 10 guys lol. Once they all had jobs lined up they cleaned their trucks out, drove to the shop on friday evening and dropped off all their vans and placed the keys in the mailbox. All of them called in on Monday saying they are no longer with the company "effective immediately" . The company almost went under lol.

[@epiphany6]

Real talk: No one wants you there once you give notice. You don't want to be there, and they don't want you to be there. I have given 2 weeks each time I left somewhere. I've also received many 2-weeks notice from employees. You need to be there / need them to be there to tie up loose ends, a lot of the time, but no one wants that.. it just becomes a bad environment for everyone, you resent them wasting your time now that your new opportunity is ready, and they resent you leaving them. Personally, at this point in life... I wouldn't give 2 weeks, I'd give a few days. As to loyalty... You're 100% correct, and anyone that says otherwise needs a self-esteem check. If you don't get a raise every year, if you aren't living comfortably, if you don't have benefits, and you aren't respected... IF YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOOD... Next. You don't owe anyone anything. If you're coasting along and not good, well, just shut up and thank god no one has noticed.

[@michaelbaxter7345]

This is a great video , by all means loyalty goes to feeding my kids and taking care of my mother . Dam you said it in the middle of me posting this , I started out @ 25$ hr and didn’t get a raise over a year , found another company and talked up on a 10$ bump, no brainer , I feel better when I got to work, I’m learning a more advanced side of the trade, , good to hear the real life situations being spoken on , these company don’t exist with out the service man , business as usual, never personal

[@nicholaspacheco9515]

I just got a job in refrigeration from AC your videos help a lot. And I did put my two weeks when I quit

[@djicorma]

I barely got off from hvac program , got my first job , the owner gave me the opportunity on offer me a entry level job with no experience or not knowing sh it! , i hope i can be a good tech soon , thats why i subscribe to you channel to watch videos and be one of the tops tech in the company am working ritenow .😊😅😅

[@snipeguru1]

The supermarket world is a bit of a different animal. The words 'Work Ethic' have somehow been distorted to mean 'Unquestioning Loyalty To Middle-Management'. It took me almost 20 years to finally learn that the smartest move I never made until it was way too late was to go Union. Sign those Blue Cards fellas.

[@davidhanes8745]

When I was younger and more idealistic I believed in a 2 weeks notice for employers. I am now middle-aged and believe at pay day the employer and I are square; I fulfilled my obligation to work and they fulfilled their obligation by paying me. My employer can fire me at any time without notice and I can quit at any time without notice.

[@joelmorgan1871]

If my employer is respectful and good I will always give notice. If not, I quit on pay day. I've also had several employers refuse to give me my final check for quitting without notice. Once I was able to talk him into giving me my last check, once I had to take him to court, got my check plus compensation for the cost of going to court, once I took the loss of my last check because the owners brother was the local judge and several former employees lost their last check and took the loss on court costs because the judge ruled in his brother's favor so I knew what would happen and chalked it up as a loss.

[@cameronchurch6983]

I've been with my company for 6 years and am really happy. I have seen many techs leave during my time and have noticed that even when you give two weeks notice, they immediately have you empty the van and leave. I was told it's industry standard to protect them from losing customers knowing your attitude may have changed and that you're moving over to a competitor.

[@HVACR_Dad]

Right on man! Do what’s best for you and your family, know your worth.

[@nickcampbell8096]

Depends on how the company treats you. Bad company, no respect = no notice. Good company that treats to well, but something better comes along. Give them 2 weeks or more. Love the videos man!!!!

[@rosie2idtj]

I usually give a 2 week notice, only twice have I left the same day. Once was due to a giant blow out with the owner. The 2nd was a very weird case. , I was the only person in the company with a gps on my truck. I asked my supervisor about it and he lost his mind. I found his position odd. I told him we should part ways.

[@leagente]

Love the speech. Very good points & makes a lot of sense. Totally agree, man.

[@toofnation693]

I was loyal for a long time for 2 different companies and both times got screwed.. You definitely need to take care of yourself and your family first!

[@sjorge07]

You are worth what someone else is willing to pay based on what you can do. Up here in the north East there is techs making close and above $45 it all depends on how much you know and what work you can do in the day( knowledge and experience matter). And not be sleeping around. I say you have to do what you think is the best option for all parties based on circumstances. 2 weeks no 2 weeks does not matter. It matters what kind of person you are at the end of the day. Respect to be respected no matter who or what you are. Keep up the good work ...

[@jacobfoxworth]

It depends on the company and the situation. When I was younger, I always gave two weeks notice, but then started seeing i wasn't getting 2 weeks notice before lay offs (never been fired either). I eventually made up my mind, just like you did it seems, to make sure my family came first (they're the ones that are always there for me). If the company has bent over backwards for me, like I do for them most times, then I will definitely give them a notice, but if I'm just another number to them, then I treat them accordingly.

[@tannerharkey]

Ahh I see you get to work on a lot of century refrigeration units down there, I’m a tech for century and it’s sisters branches technical systems, rsi, and zerocool. Cool to see our equipment being worked on by other techs in the field!

[@garageink74]

Any time I was just moving to greener pastures I’ve given 2 weeks. Usually I was told to pack it up that day. Which I expected. I have left on the drop of a hat when the employer did me dirty.

[@derrickenbuenosaires]

Good for you man. I've given two weeks notice in the past and was let go early before those two weeks at one employer. At another employer my supervisor wasn't too happy about me leaving and was actually upset but human resources understood. During my move out of country, I left the van at my last employer on a Friday night for personal reasons. Too many reasons for me leaving the country that they wouldn't understand so I just left a note in my van with a possible apprentice opportunity to hire for my replacement. Nothing against my employer or my team since I did admire my job and was proud to be union without any inside help. Things happen, things change.. you never know where you'll be in 5 years. Just 3 years ago I was in Jersey lol I'm calling the shots now.

[@hvactrevv23]

I def agree on giving a two week notice. I’ve givin a 3 month notice before to give the company time to find someone half decent and someone I could show all the accounts to. I’m to damn loyal to the wrong people. It’s always at the end they offer you a raise too. It’s funny how that works. I know I’m not the only one. Anyone that quits on the spot that’s just bad karma but at the end of the day if you get more money elsewhere then you have to do what’s right for your family so I get it.

[@johnnthirdeye2648]

I don’t blame u man I did the same thing with my last job overworked and unappreciated I was out dude. Without good technicians ur company isn’t worth shit it’s pretty simple treat ur guys right they’ll stick around.

[@winch1587]

It's always good to give notice. You never know if the new place manager/owner knows your current place manager/owner. It shows you have good character and are the responsible type. It also keeps doors open for you. You might need them someday or vice versa. Sometimes it's a small world. In our country, we have to give 1-2 MONTHS notice, depending on how long you have been employed there.

[@jericosha2842]

Good message

[@chrissmith6655]

Why is the pay so low in Texas?

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

When you said do they give you a two weeks noticed when your fired made me think about that question more

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

No.

[@johnkilduff3394]

I always given a 2 weeks notice knowing that it could be my last day.It also depends on if the new employer can start you early if you get the boot.You have to look out for your family first because that's exactly what your employer is doing looking out for their family first.

[@skylerpetersen6083]

2 week notice is always the best way to go about it but it also depends on the situations. I used to work for a company where the service manager was terrible and I got offered 9 more dollars an hour then what I was making and next thing I knew I was turning in my van the day I got offered the new job.

[@elcrazy8017]

I worked at a company for 11 years and I decided to give my two weeks notice in on a Friday. I decided to go to another company where I would work local from home. My supervisor called me two days later on a Sunday and told me to turn in my service truck already. I was shocked because I was their only service guy. The owner got so pissed he didn’t want to see me. I don’t know why he got so upset.

[@sherwinalvarez7365]

Everything you said was correct. I left my last company because of the was i was being treated. He had his wife running calls micromanaging and didn't know about refrigeration. I secured my job and left that day. The boss immediately gave me 20k more. 10 dollars. I said no

[@shine-cg9uf]

I would like to think I would always give a 2 weeks notice. But if the company doesn't appreciate u n takes advantage of u then keep a cool head n split n hand them the keys at the end of the day n walk. Loyalty to family n ur skill will get u another job. Good luck n hope to c more videos.

[@ronnyoo9371]

I only give weeks when theres a respect that the company deserves, definitely agree with the “loyalty “ mentality i see it all the time

[@MRICE-qe4sv]

I agree with there being a loyalty issue in this trade but one thing I think a lot of people overlook is overall happiness. Ya maybe you could make x more dollars over there but if your current company does you right and your happy then stay. Money is great but it can’t buy happiness. I’d rather make 2-3$ dollars less and enjoy my days then make more and be miserable. Just my opinion

[@Nba19980]

If there’s an arrangement that they’ll give u notice then yes. I’ve had this before with a company.

[@HardKnocks101]

As an employer, I prefer receiving 2 weeks notice but if the tech decides his give a damn is busted cuz he’s moving on, then he can pack his shit up and get on down the road today. And, for that same reason, I ENSURE my good guy won’t even think about looking elsewhere because I take such good care of them! Great to see you back

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

That's great input. I'm glad you take care of your guys. That's the best feeling.

[@vincerec9995]

Great video bro 💯👍🏽

[@mauikawi4290]

if one of our techs gives notice, manager just sends them out the door. one guy put in his two weeks and on his last day left all the filters on the roof of lowes and never touched a unit lol.

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

Lol. I agree its a liability. I understand why companies fire guys that day. Still messed up though.

[@MrYoutoo777]

I always do, i agree with u, in order to get raised faster u need to change company more often when u first started. I did the same thing.

[@armandotorres626]

I always felt a sense of guilt when I leave a job... Giving a 2 weeks notice felt like the least I could do.... Plus it shows your next employer that you wouldn't just leave them... Ofcourse if I was miserable, I would leave without a notice...

[@josejulian5116]

Good thing you gave your 2 week notice to the company that just took you back. That’s exactly why it’s a good idea to give the notice.

[@mcdonrs]

I give two weeks notice and prepare to get let go the day I give notice. A mentor of mine told me the quickest way to get pay increase is switching companies or your company is scared of loosing you.

[@christiansommer914]

My employer had to be a real ahole, before i could quit my job the same day.. Another reason that I couldn't do it is, respect. When I start a new job, I have a list of demands before I start, and if the employer holds up his end on that deal, then I have to honor him with 2 weeks notice.

[@REFRITEKREFRIGERACION]

I always try to put the 2 weeks notice. What I don’t do it’s to stay too long if they don’t want to pay me what I think I deserve, If I like the company and it’s working out good I’ll try to get a raise, but most of the time you have to make a move to get more money. It is sad but it is the reality on these times. I went to one boss after I have another offer making 7 more dollars per hour, ask for a raise and he came back offering me only 1 dollar more, I just said “Here it is my two weeks notice”. He was trying to convince me to stay.

[@JCM2LA]

On the two week notice thing . I personally think it depends if they are at least good people I think a 2 week notice is the appropriate thing to do. On the other stuff about the pay. Couldn't agree more with you. I left my company then came back was able to get good money. Will do that again soon haha

[@itsmemsti]

Do you know what dictates using those lightning cables on roofs? I noticed that on sites in NM, TX, and OK. Don't see them too much out west except commisary.

[@Dan-ger82]

I gave a company two week notice and ended up being there another 3 months doing turnover and my next employer was getting fed up with waiting for me. Finally told company I couldn't stay any longer and they offered me more than next company to stay. Another time I was working at post office and I gave my letter of resignation and 2 week notice and manager told me don't bother showing up the next day. I have always given notice and sometimes they are decent and sometimes they get angry and tell you get out. I have only been fired from RGIS since I had 3 jobs at that time and couldn't stay up for two days straight and called out and dude said if I can't come in I was fired....I said it was only 9 bucks an hour and my lowest paying job so I would be ok. It was also the worst job I've ever had so didn't feel too bad.

[@austinjantz1709]

[@michaelmiller8072]

Hey Rookie, When it comes to the 2 week notice question I will give a 2 week notice depending on how management treated me. If they looked down their nose at me or were anally retentive toward me they will not get a two week notice. During my career ( 40 + years, retired) I’ve given a 2 week notice and had management tell me to leave now several times. I’m with you, I am loyal to my family only

[@Michael426]

Guy I worked with gave his two weeks the day before he went on a week vacation 😂. Our boss also called the new company and went off on them for “stealing employees” 😂

[@MrGlen6911]

I never put two weeks notice “anymore” I used to do the two weeks notice until I was told by the company “thats ok we don’t need the notice you can leave now” and I because was doing the honorable thing had two weeks without work and no pay. This happened twice, I swore after that I would never do it again because if they don’t have to pay you for two weeks then why should I have to being the low man on the totem pole. As for loyalty thats a little different when I worked for a company I never did side jobs except for family and close friends

[@letslockit]

How much notice do you give when you fired someone? I went to give two week notice, then they said you can go now!

[@shanebibby6006]

depends on the situation I would personally but depends on the verdict lol

Well stated no bodies gunna pay your bills but you! 2 weeks if I like my manager but in the end sometimes its just not possible

[@shannonmyrick3042]

I think it's good to give a two weeks notice so they have time to find another employee. But I also think the employer should do the same to give you time to find another job.

[@dgcheeks]

It depends on how bad the situation is. When I first started my apprenticeship, I was told I only got the job because I was a veteran and the company gets a tax deduction. I guess the manager told the techs that and they all said it to me. It's a business and everyone have their own goals workers included. It's no loyalty out here, it's just business. I agree with everything you said.

Some will try to do right by you and try and keep you or help you out but the other ones....naw. As long as your family is happy and you find its right to move on, do it. You have to do whats best for you and your family.

[@samx9024]

Two week notice...well for companies that treated me well...yeah I gave notice..and worked my tail off until the last minute leaving the door open. Companies that that treat me like a number or become unreasonable...I tell them to pick up their van...keys, phone, tablet ect are in it. My hard learned advice is when I start to feel like a number, mistreated, taken advantage of start looking for a new position. I don't worry about what other people make...don't care...whatever you sold yourself for that's what you agreed to do for that $$$. Gets old make other people wealthy but they took the risk. I interview contractors maybe I choose them if they check all the boxes.

[@georgemyers-ny6um]

When a company is done with you they will not give you 2 weeks notice. I wouldn’t be one of those guys that will jump every year for a dollar, but if a company is not appreciating me and I think they are going to screw me over I’m not going to give notice. I’ve given notice at a good family company I worked at and I left a different one with no notice. It all depends on the situation. I make 25.50 a hr as a 4th year tech in Florida. The company I work for has been giving a 50 cent or dollar raise every 3 months and just gave me a new van. I dispatch from home and have a lot of freedom here. Which is nice. I’ve honestly though though if it doesn’t work out for me here I may got to one of the sales based companies next and try to make some real money

[@michaelprice2611]

i only ever give them a 2 week notice if i respect my superiors , and they have shown me respect. If there is no bad blood than i dont mind giving a two week notice , otherwise ill find another employer and leave when i finish that day. Down here in south florida its not hard to find another company. was in the construction side at my last company and the owner treated me like shit , and they didint want to put me in service or pay me more money.

Are you union ? I'm in Chicago area . I worked non union for a few years. Got decent raises but I decided to go union. I took a pay cut initially, but after a year I was back up.

[@snipeguru1]

Couldn't agree with you more. Also, it ain't ALL about the paycheck.... the Hall I'm in has absolutely fantastic medical coverage, they've taken care of my wife & kids as though they were family. Then there's the Pension situation, I worked for two of the Big Three over the years and not only could neither of them hold up to what I'm getting now, they don't both add up and equal what the union provides. My non-union friends will argue that I now have dues to pay, that's an argument I will gladly lose. Yes I pay dues, damned happy to do so. Should've done this 20 years ago.

Respect is earned and if the company doesn’t treat you right and respect your work by paying you what your worth then they don’t deserve a 2 week notice. my last employer told me that the company that was hiring me for more pay was crazy and I wasn’t worth paying that much.

That's because most employers fire on the spot when you quit. I've always emptied my van except for my tool bag when I give notice. If I have to uber home I can toss the bag in the trunk, nbd. There are too many shitball companies out there. I still have always given two weeks notice to every job I have ever quit, even the crappy retail jobs I had while I was in trade school.

[@refrigerationconfidential4376]

Technically you are not required to give two weeks notice. This is a small trade so our name is everything. Giving two weeks is just us leaving in good terms and not burning bridges. Techs don’t leave because of money they are generally not happy and if the leaders can’t see that then they were not doing their job correctly. The getting fired part and not getting two notice is also tricky yes you didn’t get two weeks heads up that you were gonna get fired but did you get a verbal? A write up? It doesn’t just come out of nowhere there are usually some kind of sign. If there was not then once again leadership was not on top of it.

[@twistedcandlecompany]

I usually give a 2 week notice just for my own sake of having integrity, however I have walked off of 2 jobs before. It depends on the situation now the 2 jobs I walked off on Both of which Was either, walk out and not have a job or knock him out and go to go to jail. In this industry, like you said, "they need us more than we need them" So I have noticed that is not uncommon not to give a 2 week notice. my last employer I gave a 2 week notice They didn't know what to do with a 2 week notice because no one's ever given them one. Sense it was already slow they let me go anyways that day which I was actually hoping they would have done. Now I work for QT and couldn't be happier because I choose dignity over loyalty because the owner will drop you the moment they hire a replacement.

[@twistedcandlecompany]

On an added note, it also looks good to the new employer that you tell them, "I can start in 2 weeks after I am offered and accept this position, so I can I give my current employer a proper 2 weeks notice". Hiring managers love to hear that

[@cameronboyett6386]

Only one time have I not put in a two weeks notice and it was because I felt totally unappreciated and disrespected by my employer. I try to leave on a good note. I cannot believe the hours some of the heavy refrigeration guys put in. I would never work like that.

[@Android_Warrior]

Loyalty start with the Company. if they make you feel appreciated and they show it then we are. when I start a new job I'm loyal to my new company at the beginning until they make me feel that my progress is stale. then I jump ship but I always give the 2 weeks notice because you never know if you have to come back unless I don't care for the place anymore but remember they can give reference about you too to other owners.

[@454Camaro1]

I was told a phrase I never forgot a long time ago, “at will employment” I give two weeks notice if I’m respected. I also realize some bottom of the barrel companies can only afford so much for pay because they have bottom of the barrel refrigeration work, it’s cool though, if they can only afford so much, I’ll still show respect because I had a job, I’ll wash their van and uniforms, like you I’ll complete my on call because in this field we’re brothers and can’t just walk out on our on call team, and give a two weeks notice only if the respect is equal. Also if it’s not equally beneficial for the technician as it’s for the employer then it’s time to go!

[@Badtxv]

It's all situational, I've given 2 weeks notice and I've also given 2 minutes notice. If a company treats me with respect they deserve the same. If I am being treated poorly for whatever reason I'll leave when I feel like it and not a minute later.

I agree with a lot of what you said,When I work somewhere ,that company has my 100%,100% of the time. Always give a two weeks or more,People talk..Period. Unless you absolutely hate the place and are Under appreciated. Then fuck that place 🤗

[@waynehensley132]

I only didn't give a 2 weeks noticed once, if the company treats you like a dog leave at once like I did but if they have been good to you and you are leaving for more money then give 2 weeks notice

Aren’t you going to miss working in supermarkets? Seems like TDI does more chillers and commercial warehouse refrigeration.

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

I'm not gonna miss the supermarket oncall.

I generally let people go after a week even if they give 2 weeks notice, just because its been my experience that the employees dont give much care or quality on the last week of work. also, I like to catch them off guard just to help clean out the van and make sure they only take their tools and not my parts or tools

I had a first sergeant tell me when I was getting out that there’s no loyalty in the real world and to do whatever I had to do to get ahead. Once your notice is in you no longer care about the work your doing anymore your brains already onto the next job, in my eyes what’s the point of doing that anymore. And a lot of times I’ve given a notice the company purposefully gives you the shitty jobs, no thanks. I’ll tell my next employer I can start in two weeks work one more week where I’m at quit on a Friday and enjoy a week off before the next one.

@@rookierefrigeration4357 marines, got out three years ago and started in the trade making mid 30s now only because I left when the raise was there and held employers accountable for what I thought I was worth not their opinion.

Depends on my relationship with my employer.

[@Mars4190]

Agree with everything you said 💯

I have been an employee and an employer. Employees hate getting fired in general. Employers love getting fired from jobs in general. Employees love stealing the clock from their employer

Some of them, not all.

Personally, I would always give 2 weeks, regardless of the situation. Worst case scenario, tney let you go same day; and you probably already have something lined up anyway. 2 weeks, to me, is just an assurance of not burning bridges and shows good character. This industry is too small, and who knows who might be your boss next.
