I'd work right to the end, but 2 weeks notice is simply a courtesy which should be earned by being a quality employer.

In the OP's case she has only worked there a week, so if she quits why would she give a 2 week notice?

I would give no notice or very little for how they handled you.

Did you bring up it during your interview or hiring process?

why would she quit? the wedding isn't for a few months, she likes the current workplace too

if she quits now, she might be unemployed for a while, or next employer would tell her no also

plus at the end of the day, 2 weeks notice is still 2 weeks of pay

I didn't advise to quit! I was replying to your message stating it's professional to give a 2 week notice if she does decided to quit. I replied saying if that's what she decides to do, why give a 2 week notice when she will not have worked there long enough to warrant one!


If it was me. I'd stay up to the point of the wedding and quit. Or quit in the meantime if she finds another job. Otherwise miss the wedding! She obviously CAN'T have it both ways!

same reason why you ever give 2 weeks, because you never know what the future has... do you want to burn a bridge at the company or if a co-worker remembers you as the person who walks out? what if they are at the next company she works at and decides not to hire her for that reason? Or the gossip makes its way around town?

2 weeks isn't long, and anyone hiring would wait because they expect her to give notice. And it isn't "unpaid" either, so what does she lose?

that's what I'm pointing at, she doesn't gain anything by not giving 2 weeks notice, no matter how short of a time she was there. Even if she was there for 1 day, she can give two weeks notice. The manager can choose not to accept it on account of short tenure, but she loses nothing from it.

people seem to think she was abused there and need to leave as quick as possible, why? she even said she liked the co-workers...

I never said I liked my coworkers.

I'd give proper written notice to ensure they don't hold back on any monies owed to you. Best not to burn bridges.

I'm confused. You said "HR" denied your request and now you say it was the manager? Are you in HR and your manager who is also in HR who denied your request. Why would HR have anything do with your work schedule? Oh and btw, you should have mentioned the upcoming time off BEFORE you accepted the job, some employers may have felt that you were less than transparent with them. Had the plans been 6 months out is one thing but June is like 2 months away.....
