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?
“Due to the continued denial for training and commensurate pay increases which were part of the employment agreement, I have chosen to explore other options. I am providing 4 weeks notice to allow time for a replacement to be found.”
Before the day was done my mamager walked me out of the building with the agreement they would pay me for the 4 weeks but I did not have to come back to the office.
Did they actually pay you?
Yes!
That place was so toxic. Getting out of there by itself was necessary. Getting paid to search for my next job was a cherry on top.
That’s good to hear. I’ve had bad jobs before but I feel like my job now is getting to the point where I need to go also. Wish me luck!
Best of luck to you friend!
