Anyone not given 2 weeks notice when quitting a job?
Just curious. I have tried to give notice, but my boss is still asking me to work this day or that day. UGH. I want to leave this place!!!!! For those of you who have read my past posts, I work at a community center and it's bad.....
I have a business that has been taking off for months.....I also have "back-up" if business is slow to tutor a few students. This would bring me the same ammount as I make now, but I would be working less than 1/3 the hours.
Has anyone not given two weeks, or given two weeks and they were so bad, you just left?
Trying to hang in there, but it's been too long.
Re: Anyone not given 2 weeks notice when quitting a job?
I gave my two weeks and my boss went crazy (I am pretty sure he was bipolar anyways). The next day he was very rude to me and told me that I was contractually bound to give a months notice. I left for lunch that day and didn't come back, he called and left threatening messages on my voicemail then told me I was fired. The job was a terrible one, luckily I had already accepted another position so I have two weeks on free time away from psycho boss!! I used the office manager as a reference from this position, she is a really sweet lady and was technically my supervisor so it all worked out. She ended up leaving right after I did (the place had crazy turnover!).
I would give your notice and stick to it. Don't feel bad, as hard as it may be. You are better off if you were miserable!
I would put a notice in writing and when the 2 weeks are up then say you are done. I have never not given a notice but I have left before without working a full 2 weeks, but that was because the job knew I was looking for something else.
I quit at the end of a waitressing shift w/o prior notice. I had just had ENOUGH on a particular Sunday shift. I was tired of dealing with the drama and lack of management backing up lead servers when other servers didn't do their work! I didn't really care if the bridge was burnt and had no intentions of ever using them for a reference (it was money for hookers and blow, as I had a day job).
Turns out 6 months later the place closed, so the inevitable was coming anyways.
Put your resignation in writing and then when your current boss asks you to work beyond the point of your last, stated day - just refer to the document. If your boss tries to guilt you to work/stay longer, just tell him/her that you would if you could, but the new position requires you to start on X. Just try and keep it as short & professional as you can and when grilled, pass the buck to the new job.
Bottomline, here's what I think about 2 wks notice...it doesn't really give adequate time for any (or a lot) of job positions to be filled & trained, so really, it is just a "professionally correct" ettiquette thing to do. Especially places that liked you as an employee and/or where you've worked at for an extensive period of time are going to be bitter to lose you & who knows, for that matter still give you a bad recommendation.
Just lookout for yourself & don't worry about loyalties. A good boss will hate to lose you, but be ecstatic to see you climb into a better professional opportunity.
Put in a resignation letter. Are you sure you really want to leave... are you holding on for them or for you.
I don't believe in burning bridges. Give notice.
Thank you! I know my boss could find someone next week (even though she will act like it's so hard to find someone else). I was hired through a staffing agency, and I know there are other applications with the agency for my job. I know I need to put it in writing at this point, and tell my boss that X day will be my last.
Thanks again!
This. Be professional.
