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?
It’s a common thing in employment contracts, its where 2wk notice comes from, but more valued positions can have longer notices. It usually works both ways except in certain circumstances. It may or may not actually be legal but if legal could supersede “at will” depending on the specifics.
