I've always given two weeks and I appreciate it when someone gives me two weeks. Just saying its your last day with no notice then puts me in a bind. I need those two weeks to hire a replacement and train them. If someone just decides to say screw it, myself and the other employees are now stuck covering those shifts and most likely working doubles and whatever.
And seriously.. If I interview someone who's currently employed and they say they can start ASAP with no notice to their employer, I'm most likely going to skip over them. Because then what's to say they won't do that to me if they find something better.
Oh well, kinda like getting fired from a job, gee don't you think that would put the employee in a sort of bind?????
think about that....
so no, I wouldnt give no notice other than an E mail at the end of the day.......
Do you ask for two weeks notice in your employee handbook? If you are not willing to accept the 2 weeks notice you should put in there that no notice is required or accepted. To ask for it then screw them out of 2 weeks of pay is despicable and possible grounds for a lawsuit.
As for me my main fear is that if I do not give 2 weeks notice they can put me down as not eligible for rehire which is tantamount to a bad reference. That can cripple a job search.
I'd say if other workers give 2 weeks and it is accepted it is a good idea to do it. If not just give notice on the last day.
Yes, it does and it also states that we don't have to accept it.
If that's your fear, then give the two week notice and even if they dont' accept it, you at least gave it.
And how are they being screwed out of two weeks pay? They are quitting their job and to pay them to goof off for two weeks is just as despicable in my book.
As for a lawsuit...hasn't happened yet...we have an excellent legal dept.

Specifying 2 weeks notice is implying they should expect to work 2 weeks to tie up loose ends and give management time to find a replacement. Terminating them immediately is deceptive and I strongly suspect a good employment lawyer can make a strong case for lost income in court. If your company wasn't a bunch of moral cretins they would specify in the handbook that you do not accept notice and that the employee must leave as soon as a resignation is tendered.
lol that's fine with me. I have no problem with it.
Excellent. You are so hardcore!
Kim in FL's resentful attitude gives good reason why you should be leary of giving any type of notice to your employer. If you're working for a nutjob psychotic loose-cannon b***ch of a boss, you never know what they'll do to you.

Perhaps you should take a look at the people you hire. To automatically assume everyone will goof off for two weeks is more a statement of the people you are picking than anything else.
Personally, I would give my employer four weeks notice. It would take at least that long to somewhat train someone else in what I do day to day.
If you don't give two weeks notice, you create a reputation for yourself as someone who doesn't care about anyone but yourself, which is a horrible career move.
Probably not but it's a good idea to do so. One, you don't really want to burn bridges. Two, if the new employer truly wants to hire you, they will wait for you.

Same here, and 4 weeks of training would just cover the basics for my replacement IF they have extensive previous aircraft experience. If they didnt, it would take months to train. Hell, I've been doing the aviation thing for going on 6 years, with nearly 4 at this company and I'm still learning new things.
I would try and give my employer at least a month, more if possible. They're a good company and I'd like to keep on their good side
It really depends what job you have. If You have existing contracts that you need 2 weeks notice to hand off to another person, then a lot time the company will want you to stay for 2 weeks but if you have basically home free (not that important) they rather you to leave now instead of paying you for 2 weeks of overhead hours and safe them from you taking any information along with you

Do you really owe your employer a 2 week notice?
