So, I’ve given several two week notices throughout my career. Unfortunately, I recently had to give one over the phone instead of in person. I only report to one guy and he was on vacation. I could have just given it to HR but that would have felt scummy. I called him and gave him my notice then sent him a letter of resignation. Feels bad man. Anyone else ever have to give a two week notice in an awkward/unfortunate way?
People who just disappear I assume are going to have it much worse later on. I’ve literally been connected with hiring managers from people I’ve handed notice to. I don’t think they realize that you’re not just giving the finger to your boss, but everyone you worked with. Not everyone there was bad, chances are someone else someday will have a sweet job, and it’s better for them to think of you as someone who left politely just like they did vs disappearing and leaving them with a ton of work attempting to pick up the pieces.
The only time i didnt give notice is because i never wanted to work in that industry again lol
I usually give 1-2 weeks though because thats the max they would ever give me if they decided to fire me anyways. Give what you get kind of vibes.
