Should I Give 2 Weeks Notice?

[@jeretso]

Give notice if you can. Build bridges. It's a small world. You may need a reference. An old coworker might become a manager one day in a random company and recruit you. You may need to recruit them. Your reputation will follow you forever especially on social media.

[@tonyspinelli9562]

That’s a loser and beta mentality. Your work will speak for itself, and if you can interview half decent and make sure that their HR asking questions they can’t then you’re good

[@wbgookin]

I can't speak for a lot of industries, but in construction and engineering I definitely agree. People shift around, companies get bought and sold, and it ends up being a smaller world than you'd think. You're pretty likely to run into them again somewhere, and taking the high road almost always pays off.

I recently quit my job at Pizza Hut. They were not giving me enough hours, and my take-home pay had dropped drastically. I was also facing serious health issues involving surgery and a series of pre-op and post-op appointments. I sat down with my boss and told him what I was dealing with. He told me I didn’t need to give him a two-week notice. I had a good work ethic and leaving without notice would not go on my record under the circumstances. I worked for a few more weeks, then told him one day that that Friday would be my last day-one-week notice. I could have left the job any day without any notice whatsoever. The important thing was that I communicated with my boss in the first place. He took the pressure off by telling me I could stay as long as I wanted or go any time I needed to. Like Ken says, though, it’s a case-by-case issue.

Wrong. The company makes decisions at a higher level. If they are laying off 1,000 people, they can’t let everyone know in advance. Disgruntled employees might do something to damage the company. Usually, you will get six weeks of pay when getting laid off. Companies don’t care about you, but that’s not the point. The reason to give notice is to keep a good relationship with your coworkers. You may encounter them again in the future and might want to work with them. Don’t leave a bad taste in their mouth.

No hard and fast rule, although generally 'they expect' a notice period aligned with your pay period/position (and it may be outlined in your contract).

Another job from decades ago, toxic boss (who had burned through assistants like candy), I went to HR to resign, HR expected me to walk out that day, I said I was fine to the end of the week to tidy all the loose ends, which I did do. I think it shocked HR, knowing how toxic that boss really was. I tend to go out with dignity. Like some former jobs have had me back as short term contracts later on.

Not even allowed to say good bye and nobody knew where they were. The company did give two weeks severance per year and they had them set up in a building with people assisting to write resumes etc. so when a colleague gave three weeks notice and the program manager had a fit I politely mentioned that the company didn’t deserve more than they gave people when they were laid off. 30 minutes. The guy leaving had quietly started transferring files etc and debriefing a couple of us. Nothing was said but we both knew he was leaving. He actually spent two months preparing. I told PM that Ms he said why didn’t you tell me! I didn’t actually know I just suspected. So not my business. Right now, I would give months notice.

The word “retirement” has such a vague and broad meaning it is a useless word at this point. Much like the words “Love” and “God”. People use and throw around those types of reactions words so often and for so many reasons that the value of those words gets drowned out by the arguments they cause. And they cause arguments BECAUSE the definitions are so vague that they mean something entirely different to each individual. And the word “overrated” is just meaningless - overrated by what measure? Words are suppose to help us communicate or thoughts and emotions but they can also cause arguments merely due to the vagueness of and ill-defined words With all that said, my opinion of the word “retirement” is that it’s just a placeholder word that encompasses “Waking up whenever I want, going to bed whenever I want, and in between those two times, doing whatever I want”. It’s the “whatever I want” part that is subjective, contentious, and can make or break “retirement”. So get your mind and life in order just as much your finances if you want to “retire”. And my retirement DEFINITELY isn’t “overrated”.

[@sharonholbrook7530]

It sounds like you are in a management role. Offer 2 weeks notice and serve it unless the company decides to release you sooner. Don’t let your feelings about sr mgt cause you to do something that will be perceived poorly by others.

No

Bro back tracked lol Ramsey doesn’t talk that way

[@swiftmovers3827]

Bullsh!t! If someone messes with your money and you know it's intentional give them the finger and more on the way out the door. Take a look at your child, now imagine your manager snatching food out of their hand. Are you going to sit there and take it? Don't ever let someone steal from you without consequence.

I am in the same situation but My work contract says i must give 4 weeks notice 😂 since I've worked there for 3yrs. I want my last day to be the 30th of June 2024, so should i give my notice on the 1st of June or the 15th of June?

Did they really “miscalculate” two years in a row?

[@radolfkalis4041]

I was taught as a kid, decades ago, give 2 week notice to your employer, it is respectful and gives them time to replace you. I was never told to leave immediately. That sounds to me like being fired. Most employers today it seems take that route, just leave now. I believe it is to cut their losses in case the employee causes problems. I still say when an employer takes that route they just fired you. I have had employers require you to sign a paper stating if you do not give a certain amount of notice they will dock your last paycheck to minimum wage. Alot depends on your employment contract.

If I were her I would just quit, company is not very reputable as it sounds.

[@dawnt5587]

Wow. Dave’s an asshole. You give your 2 weeks and he tells you you’re done?

[@boeing757pilot]

Yeah, the great "Christian."

[@daveassanowicz186]

NOPE

[@JoeyNYSDnomad]

That last 2 weeks is not productive at all. Why sit there and do nothing.
