Reacting To The "Two Weeks' Notice From Hell"

Never believe a company that says “we are family here”. You’re not. You are a useful tool to make them money. Nothing more nothing less. Make as much money as you can and learn all the skills you can then move on and upward. Never work for the same company more than 5 years. It makes no sense. You are costing yourself thousands of dollars in pay and benefits

With my company it would have been dumb to leave cause of the pension and insurance that comes with it. Yes, the pay is crappy, but the benefits, sick pay, & vacations make it better. I know many that don't have everything my company has. They jump from job to job and sometimes make more and many times make less. But in the end, they never had a chance to settle where they started to get the benefits from the job.

We were short staffed, I was leaving bc of constant 70 hr work weeks that interfered with raising my sons. I did it so they could hire and I could train my replacement. Everyone including the treasurer stopped talking to me, a hire wasn’t made for 6 months…total waste of my life on my end. I was glad to get out.

I learned years ago, the hard way, that when you give your two week notice you make it as short and professional as possible. No elaboration no emotion none of that. Its extremely hard, you want to say things (good or bad) never do it. If you are thinking of doing that, rewatch this video.

[@SchuminWeb]

This. There is time to get all of your thoughts about the company off of your chest after you leave their employment. I have certainly said a lot of very negative things about my past employers, by name, on my own blog. But official company channels are not for that. In those channels, you keep it as brief as possible, i.e. I'm leaving, and my last day will be such and such.

[@atlantic_love]

And I figure that if they give a fVck about what you really thought about the company, they would have come to you for your opinion long before you decided to leave. They're only asking because they're worried about their liability in all of it, and worried about their own jobs.

I think the most liberating thing I learned in all my years of employment is just what "At Will" employment really means.

I think more managers need to know and understand this.

[@alittlepieceofearth]

When she mentioned that they didn't make her a counter offer, I don't think the point was that she expected a counter offer. Rather, I think the point was that if they were so intent on her staying, they might have given a reason to extend her notice or reconsider it all together. A contrast to the bullying they opted for instead.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

Exactly. I left a job yesrs ago and our CEO drove to my office to try and counter offer. And face to face he was so amenable. And I didn’t actually ask for more money I only asked to not be forced to relocate like they were originally forcing. And once he was back in his office he was sending douchey emails about it and was suddenly cold about it and denied everything he said he’d be likely to do. So I confirmed I was leaving. The next day I had a bid on my desk and got paid to go home for my notice and was escorted out. But the two weeks off was nice.

[@Nothingtoya]

I recently learned a very hard lesson. I worked for the same people for 21 years. Never, under any circumstance, give more of yourself than what they're paying for. I also see no reason to give them a 2 week notice anymore. These companies don't give you a notice, so screw them

[@9liveslisa]

Many years ago, I had a row with the VP of the company, so I typed up a resignation letter on the spot and I told them I would give them 2 weeks notice in the letter. They escorted me out of the building that day, and I was perfectly happy to leave that day. When I offered them 2 weeks notice, I was fully aware they may want me out that day but I felt giving them notice was the right thing to do.. I never looked back. Sometimes you have to cut your losses and just move on. P.S. The VP was a sleeze ball and she had an affair with with one of our clients and split up a 25 year marriage. I didn't want to work with her anymore. She got fired 2 years later. I lived happily ever after.

I am a nurse, and have always been an "at will" employee. I have a good friend who gave two weeks' notice and suffered this same thing. I learned that "at will" GOES BOTH WAYS. They don't have to have a reason for firing you, and you don't have to have a reason for quitting. For the first time in 32 years with a spotless, impeccable record, I encountered an impossible situation (related to some impossible people at work), I met with my boss (a "pumps and pearls" nurse who hasn't been in the clinical area since she graduated from nursing school) with my politically correct nicely worded effective immediately resignation letter in my pocket. I listened to her chastise me and make a "plan for improvement" for me, then I slid my letter across the desk without a word and enjoyed seeing her open the envelope, study my note, and enjoyed even more seeing her big fat brightly lipsticked mouth drop open so wide a truck could have driven through it. There were a few moments of awkward silence as she read my short but sweet note and she said "You don't mean this!" I said "Yes I do. It's been a pleasure and an honor working with my colleagues" I had already cleaned out my locker, and I turned my back on her and walked out.This was my day off, so I did not abandon my patients. Now the company (HCA) has a new policy--the 401K match money is only paid on Dec 31st--if you are fired or resign prior to that time, you don't get your match money. I'm pretty sure this is because of people like me. THANKS, HCA, for lying and disrespecting all the RN's who give so much so you can look good and make lots of money. Maybe this is why your company is going tits up and taking on water.

Managers and companies in general will show their true colors when you decide to leave them. Some weirdly view it as a personal rejection even when it isn't.

Mistake 1: There are some exceptions but never show your emotion to anyone at work, especially to your boss. Coworkers and your bosses are not your friends and 90% of the times they are manipulators, narcissist, sociopaths and psychopaths. They will try to throw you under the bus, manipulate, gaslight and snitch on you for their own good/agenda. Mistake 2: You do NOT need to show respect to the company that you are leaving. All you need to tell them is ‘As required by my employment contract/labour law of the state that I currently reside in, I am required to give a minimum of [notice period] weeks notice and as such I am giving you that [notice period] effective today’. Mistake 3: Waiting to give notice until the busy season is over. Give your notice before the busy season starts and simply give them “It’s not my problem mfers face”. Mistake 4: Picking up the phone call from the company. If they ever ask you to talk on the phone, just simply email them and say “I am going to need all future correspondences archived and on record. So email will be only mode of conversation from this point on” or “I’m sick and can’t talk on the phone so please email”. Define rules of engagement on your favourite terms. You learn life the hard way. People are not as nice as you would expect and you have to have a plan to screw over everyone you work with if push comes to shove. If this young lady recorded everything they said, she could probably sue the company for workplace harassment.

[@waynewallace9055]

I don't think a 2 week notice is necessary when a company can fire you at anytime. Does a company say hey we are going to let you go in 2 weeks. Yes, if you plan on working at that company again a 2 week notice is a good idea, if you have no plans of ever going back just resign on the spot

Hope your new job will be a lot better!

[@smithrr6]

You have your new job already lined up. Do not jeopardize your new gig for this old one.

[@kiranrao4375]

Difference between employer and employee is that the employer is the pay master and holds all the cards. I have seen employers just blocking emp access cards, the employees hang around for a few more hours to know they are terminated.

[@travelnurseadventures3225]

Love the reaction videos!

[@amylyn722]

I feel for her. When I was laid off from a job they gave me a 2 week notice which I appreciated, but I wish they would have just walked me out. I worked in a department that worked with upper management closely and no one spoke to me AT ALL until the last day. When two people did and asked how I was doing, what was I going to do I looked at them, smiled, picked up my things and walked out the door.

[@mohaimou6660]

I don't usually give a week or 2 as notice... but this time I tried to be nice and professional I gave this company that i work with a week notice..... then they walked me out the same day without saying anything, they said they still gonna pay me for this week and they just don't want me inside of the facility anymore

[@niaadent8788]

Hey, just curious when upon putting in a two week notice if you are fired abruptly after that, would you potentially qualify for unemployment benefits since you were terminated?

[@aarontheblackfox]

All those people just learned to not give 2 weeks to these people. What a joke.

[@racpatrice]

That's right. My mindset would be to resign effective immediately. Give them the letter an hour before my shift ends lol

[@gabolujan3109]

Egregious

[@elmobolan4274]

Leadership, Mentor, Family, Culture - all stupid buzz words....it's just horrible place I go to make money (not much) to live and pay my bills, period.....

[@sloppyjonuts9162]

My last boss released from prison a few years ago but has 20 years in the trade Real POS I could just tell even before he opened his mouth Sends me an email. Come to the office before work He asks if I have a disability because I am really introverted He told me he wants me to be more like the other employees and go up to him with questions Oh by the way he says I have a hygiene problem..we work in out door construction in Arizona where temps last summer reached 125 daily for 3 months.

[@Demonizar]

Had to give 4 weeks notice, gave 2 days short of 4 weeks which they insisted I owe, I think not, left when I said but knowing how they dealt with my notice was the nails in the coffin for leaving in the first place, never go back to a job either, history books

[@bsummers9759]

They won’t let you speak in the teams meeting? That’s when you get in the chat and let everyone know what’s up. What are they gonna do, fire you😂 Absolute clownery.🤡🤡🤡

[@giovanapc1]

Agreed. I would've said: Ok, thanks. Now it's my turn and tell my side of the story to the entire team, exposing these shitty people. Period.

[@louismat319]

This is a result of when you have poor management. Management that was hired not for their professionalism or skill set but people that got the position through who they know or because they interviewed well. 90% of the time people leave bad management not bad jobs.

[@StuJones-gn7te]

BTW, the 2 week notice WAS customary, before about 1970. When almost every stats adopted "at will" hiring and firing, the 2 week notice went away or should have. Back in the old days, the company also gave 2 week notice.

[@chime-girl]

Two words. Law suit. Hostile Workplace Harassment. That would be my advice from 25 years of Human Resources

[@travelnurseadventures3225]

Lol, I guess in the corporate world. In Healthcare, hostile work environment is expected.

[@rodneyevans8362]

Just quit! They wouldn't have got 2 weeks from me after their negativity. It's called bullying.

[@smoothiecutie2277]

I did!!

[@Canis2024]

Sounds like a couple of narcissists running that business. Narcissism runs deep in corporate America.

[@RhodaMiller-s6z]

I worked somewhere for years and the manager was abusive, a bully, and had a big ego. He used a lot of manipulation, could be nice one minute and mean the next. He lied too. When someone gave a 2 week notice, he chased them out the door the same day. He always tried to make himself look good and trashed the employees behind their backs

[@JessicaNewell-d2q]

Just found this video. This hits close to home as my current employer is so similar. The culture is awful. I cam imagine them handling me leaving with a "bullying" response. They have no care, empathy, leadership, value, respect for anyone. During my 4 years there, several employees have passed away. They didn't even care to attend 2 of them. That's how much they DON'T CARE. I need to get out but don't want to jump into anything else that could be even worse. I know what I want and am working towards it. But in the meantime, working in a toxic environment is very hard.

[@oa5828]

This is defamation and needs an immediate lawsuit against it and toxic work culture.

[@Eric_Bassett]

only Ken.. you constantly bash people for not giving jobs their all, yet you act SOO surprised and shocked at sophia's experience.

[@alezandradavila2581]

I give 2 weeks but it doesn’t have to be personable

[@Mimi-pt4fo]

Like my work, when somebody quits they say that person didn’t do well at the job. It’s called gaslighting

[@plaguedoctor5892]

I would have told them that as soon as I left the phone call, it would be my last moment with the company.

[@hoghs1]

Bare minumum always. The owners do not care about the workers so why give anything other than absolute bare minimum

[@terryhenderson424]

In this area for decades and across industries, of you give a 2 week notice you should expect to be fired with cause (they provide a justifiable cause) up to and including bad things to have on your record. Sometimes you can immediately quit before the t's are crossed and the i's dotted thus preventing a formal termination; no guarantees what end up in the company's records. Most companies expect a 4 week notice for an executive position.

[@tem3111]

I'll give them a 2 day notice meaning I will leave this place today.

[@asunset8545]

I've noticed the lack of leadership and professionalism from those in management positions at alot of these jobs. It's sad.

[@mattwebb6056]

In the UK we have to give 4 weeks notice.

[@Alex_Tribe]

No...in the UK it depends on what your contractual notice says, but it cannot be less than the statutory notice. It's 1 week notice after you have worked at an employer for 1 month and up to 2 years. After that it will be a week added on each year up to a total of 12 weeks. However, contracts can specify more contractual notice after you pass probation, i.e. 1 month, a term if you're a teacher (so 3 months), or 3 months in lots of other professions. The more senior you are, some will request longer notice periods like 6 months...perhaps a year for a headteacher...etc.

[@CaptainHammerFists]

No. If you’re not going to go back to that company - which I would plead you to never do - leave when it’s best for you. Two week notice is a joke. Your employer wouldn’t give a two week notice if they laid you off.

[@bamabigfoot]

Ken, I learned on TikTok that its 'Prerogative" and Bobby says it in the song. I was shaken.

[@larryreynolds007]

The company I worked for, if you walked in the boss’s office and give a 2 week notice. They would say - Give me your keys and clean your desk out now. Then they would stay with you and walk you out. Then they would change the door lock combination. That is how the real world works.

[@Dan-vv2fu]

My old boss would pay you minimum wage the last two weeks.. and Florida is a right to work state so you have very little legal recourse.. you just leave

[@celisseevans309]

That's illegal

[@ivybichon8582]

I put in my resignation and they’re pushing I don’t think I need to even answer that question. Any thoughts?

[@TrumbleAudio]

After 8 years I gave my 2 weeks. 2 hours later got a surprise phone call they were around the corner to pickup the company’s property

[@ClessieCummins254]

When that happens to me, I just pretend like I'm 18 years old again in military basic training. Just let it go in one ear and out the other.

[@starlingswallow]

Those managers showed their a$$es. They completely uncovered their true hearts 😮

[@anthonykence9954]

Companies have the at will employment that you sign . Were you can Be let go at any time or any reason. A two week notice is a courtesy for the employer. But you dont have to give them that. You can do a at will resignation and turn their turn the tables on them
