![]() My first thoughts are, if you are worried about just getting the boot, you were probably not really appreciated/liked by your work, not very good at it, or you have done things to **** them off. Not an attack, just been in management before, and that's generally the case. A good worker will be able to work out their notice respectfully. And the employer will let you.
Keep in mind, you lose your reference. Job experience on a resume is priceless. If a new employer interviews you and then find out you left your last job hanging, they probably won't see you as a reliable employee. As in you welched on your notice. Any job over three months and under a year, one week is all that's required. Under three months. Nothing is required from either party. I think you should take the high road. But I don't know you personally, so maybe that's a road you are willing to avoid Go out with dignity. Trying to get let go with paid time, intentionally, kinda lame. Again. Not a personal attack. You asked for feedback. Just giving you my take. Good luck.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. ![]() |

![]() In certain positions it happens all the time paddy. Two weeks notice is given, management asks where the person is going to. If their new job is at a competitor or will not be divulged the assumption it is a competitor is implied and the person is shown the door with two weeks pay. Witnessed it many times.

![]() I've been in mgmt for most of my career, and hired many, many people and also had to deal with resignations and occasionally let people go (hardest part of the job). What I can tell you is that your work record, whether on your resume or not, is most important to any new prospective employer. And gaps do not look good.
So, for sure take the high road. Give them 2 weeks notice or longer (if you are a long time employee). If your employer feels that you are a risk (competitive or other reasons) or negative influence on peer workers, then they may ask you to leave early and pay you the remainder. But no notice will not encourage a good word, if your past employer is called up (even though you don't list them as a reference). It is not necessary (and often undesirable) to give a reason in your resignation letter. But if possible, you should go on good terms, and reasons like "moving" or "going back to school" or even "switching careers" can ease tensions. A smart employer will want to do an exit interview (by someone other than your immediate supervisor or manager though), and that is your opportunity to give feedback, but still always taking the high road. Good luck.
