I agreed with most of the people here and give them two weeks. This way you did your job by letting them know. Even if they don't like you about anything, the HR has a record of you leaving and providing two weeks in advance.
You are supposed too yes but where my husband works , if you are polite and give proper notice 9 out 10 times you will find yourself fired . Silly and childish on the company's part.
Sounds like that job is dysfunctional so just say you're leaving and hit the road. Chances are that mess of a workplace won't less anyways so there won't be a place the next employer can contact.
Employer's that treat the workforce like DIRT do NOT deserve any courtesy back from the employee if you ask me
Just give 2 weeks... If they "escort you out", they will likely pay you for the two week period as it's unlikely that they would prefer you to file a UI claim or be inclined to find some BS reason to try to sue them for something (especially with past harassment documented with HR).
So it will probably work in your favor.
But if you just want to bail, I don't really see any problem with that either. Here's why.
Most answers to reference call are sterilized by corporate policy these days and any person who offers any sort of negative sounding information, no matter how tame, is an idiot. Our corporate policy forces any reference request through HR in writing. And HR does not say anything about anything.
Prior to that I just gave everyone a great reference. Not my problem if some hack who used to work for me goes elsewhere on my reference and blows a huge database sky high. That's their problem. What are they going to do, call me and accuse me of giving an inaccurate reference? I'd love to see that. Besides, it's not like there's some secret code of manager ethics where managers from competitors all watch out for each other or something.
I saw my boss and other co-workers bully a former co-worker to quit because she did not like her and neither did the rest of her group. At first I thought I was being paranoid but I started to see similarities and kept a close eye on it.
A month later after the co-worker quit, I started to see the same things happening to me and when I saw what was happening, I reported it to H.R. My boss denies EVERYTHING and apologizes if I felt that way. She says she values me tremendously. I had an excellent work evaluation last year but suspect it was going to change this year. I asked H.R for a transfer to another department because I am uncomfortable working there but was denied.
My co-workers, her "group" are upset knowing that I made a report to H.R. A co-worker privately told me the whole office knows I reported it. I have since had them make insults under their breath "b-word, snitch, etc" and indirectly talked about beating someone up outside of work. So I know that SOMETHING was definitely going on. I can tell my boss does NOT want me there even though she says she does because H.R got involved.
I got tired of it and applied for another job. I was just offered the position and I accepted.
I now need to give notice. I don't know what to do. I don't want to give 2 weeks and then my boss be nasty and possibly have me escorted out. I also don't want to work with my co-workers anymore. I don't want to burn bridges but I think they are already burned. Don't really know what to do.
Don't give notice....Quit. And tell H.R. why, just like you wrote here, the threats the actions....in fact I'd put it in writing and deliver it to the H.R. I wouldn't stay two more weeks when co-workers are making threats. I might even call the DOL Dept. of Labor and send them a copy. https://www.dol.gov/
Many years ago I worked for a place that treated employees like "the enemy" once they gave notice, and I was no exception. Still, I received my vacation pay and was able to take a few days off without any financial strain between that job and my new job.
If vacation pay or anything else is not an issue, I would still give notice in writing (and keep a copy for yourself) just to cover my tracks. While companies are very careful about what they say in reference checks, you never know when your path might cross again with someone from the company you are leaving.
If you leave without notice I don't think you'll have difficulty finding another job, but I would keep the times you do that to a minimum and only do so if it is absolutely necessary.
No I'd line up another job and the last week when there is an incident I'd resign on the spot and send a letter to HR with your documented list of incidents leading up to it.
Your supervisor and co-workers have created a hostile work environment. Under those circumstances, in my opinion, you have no obligation to give them notice.

Good luck on your new job.
I love it.
Take a long lunch and don't come back
