You give a two week notice because it helps you, not the employer. It is real bad business to burn bridges with anyone, especially an employer you plan to put on your resume.A two week notice is never required. It is what you do so that you don't leave your employer holding the bag. Also, if you want to get a good reference letter from your employer, then give him two week notice.All you business saavy people here is a question. Should an employee have to give two weeks notice before leaving a job? I myself think that is not fair to the employee if the better job can be started immediately. Is there still this infringement of freedom on the employee?
Why? Is an Employer required to give an Employee two week notice before dumping them? If not, the discussion is moot.
'Burn Bridges?' What does that even mean? Employers can dump Employees without being required to give two week notices, but Employees must give two week notices? Sounds like a rigged immoral Corporate scam. A silly double standard for sure. A very outdated concept.
have you ever had a real job?
Silly outdated double standard. An Employer can dump your ass without any notice at all. And they don't care whether you and your family lives or dies. No two week notice is required of them. Therefore, no two week notice should be required of Employees.
It's not about morals, it's about making business decisions. There is no more 'Professional Courtesy.' That got thrown out the window a long time ago. You wanna give a two week notice, that's fine. But it shouldn't effect future employment elsewhere.
