I've been in the work world 35 years and never have I given a notice. I either got fired, quit, or laid off. Now at 57, I'm about to give my 1st 2-week notice.
@@mikeharris4562 I'll never give a notice again. One week into the notice, most calls me into office and says, "you can go NOW(SW MOTOR FREIGHT where I delivered and picked up locally) . It was right b4 the gave the bonus of 10% of your gross for year.
@@BUTGOD-j1x Yeah buddy I'm sorry but you can't get a bonus if you leaving the job 🤷 basically a two weeks notice is a invitation for another employee to replace you before you leave.
I've always had good relationships with my managers, so I've never had to do this, but I would say don't worry about burning a bridge if that's really what needs to be done though. If you already signed an offer letter & have a start date, you don't need your old job, they need you. If your manager gives you grief, walk on the spot. Companies don't give you two week notices when they're letting you go, you're under no obligation to give them a heads up either, it's strictly a professional courtesy.
100% correct...where I'm working right now they don't deserve any notice at all. They don't care about their employees, working conditions, equipment that is in disrepair, AC that doesn't work, etc.
Last point there - if it truly WAS a professional courtesy, it would go both ways. So watch how your company deals with severing employees. Sure, if someone was caught stealing, walking them on the spot is the correct move, but if we're talking most other reasons, including job performance, unless the company is consistently either giving adequate notice, or give exiting personnel "gardening leave" of similar length, if they don't want them to work out a reasonable notice period, they're not showing their employees the "courtesy" that they claim is so important for the employee to show the employer, so I don't see how they deserve any more from the employee. If, as is often the case, they basically hand you your final paycheck up to current date and have security walk you to the door both when laying someone off/firing for minimal cause/someone gives them notice? Then they get their "two weeks notice" on your last day there, conveniently backdated to two weeks ago, with a sheepish smile, a shrug, and something on the line of "I should probably have given you this earlier, but..." So very situational, and at the end of the day, and as with many other things related to employment, it's the employer that sets and shapes the rules. An employer deserve courtesy commensurate with the one they give, so you always try to give a good employer every chance of mitigating damage from you leaving. You do your best not to actively screw over an average not good, but not bad, employer but you also don't do anything that actively inconveniences you. As for bad employers? It's tempting to twist the knife as you leave, but actually, it's rarely worth it. Just go. These places tend to be so badly run anyway, so just the fact of you leaving is going to make shit go "boom" as you're exiting, but resist the temptation to help anything along. Remember that even if you don't mind your employer hurting, you probably had at least one good coworker that is going to get caught up in the effects of you flinging the proverbial turd into the spinny "it's all the AC we can afford"-thingy as you leave and close the door behind you. So don't. They don't deserve that on top of what your former employer is heaping on them, nor do you want to try to stutter out an explanation for what they ever did to you to deserve that, when 10 years later, they're the hiring manager for your dream job.
As someone who has spent a significant amount of time contemplating my next steps in the professional arena, this video provided me such peace of mind. You gave me confidence and direction. Thank you.
Thank you. I am about to change to a new job and I am really agonizing about it since my working relationship with them is pretty good; and I felt bad leaving but leaving for a better opportunity is what I need.
@@M1911jln what? 😂 that’s it? So I just write a brief 2 sentence statement , I’m quitting” sincerely John Doe. Wrap it up in an envelope and Hand it to my manager?
As I've said before elsewhere: when I gave notice I would be promptly escorted from the premises so I stopped giving notice. Every job I ever had was an at-will unskilled entry level soul-sucking nightmare with few if any benefits and no job security. Those type of employers use you up and spit you out. When it's time to go, just go. In my working "career" until the day I went out on disability I've never once been treated with respect or common decency by any employer. No employer I ever worked for deserved a notice, nor did they care If I gave one. 😕
The last straw with my current employer was their joke of a raise they gave their current employees and starting someone new off 15 cents an hour less than someone who's been there for 5+ years and in a higher position....not fixing issues that are reported to them, equipment, building, AC in disrepair, you name it this employer has failed at it.
That's a great way to start, change your phone number too, some employers won't get the hint for a while that you no longer work for them, and try to call asking how to do your job because they have no idea...trust me been there done that.
NEVER give a 2 weeks notice. Give a 3 months notice... or a 0 weeks notice. be ready to leave before you talk to anyone. The only reason to stay at a job is to tie up loose ends that only you can, otherwise... time to leave.
To be honest Sir. I have never had a Career which i want desperately at 43. Every job i have had has only been a job. Any advice is appreciated and helpful. I am really close to leave my current employer after three years of killing myself.
throw it in the trash. don't put a 2 week notice. What im confused is why we have to put a two week notice for employer but they will fire anyone on the spot. Why are we acting like this is acceptable? Your not allowed to do this to me, but I am allowed to do this to you. Yikes
Many companies will pay you the two weeks and tell you not to come in any more. They’d rather you don’t sabotage anything by performing less than normal

I’m 45 I’m doing it next week!
Good luck

True words
The only company I ended up resigning from was ready, I kept taking half day personal days and return to work in a suit. :-)
Thank you. I am about to change to a new job and I am really agonizing about it since my working relationship with them is pretty good; and I felt bad leaving but leaving for a better opportunity is what I need.
You spoke straight facts in this video, I really appreciate that. This helped me get in the right state of mind
Thanks Brenden. Glad this was helpful for you
I just hand it in. I've made the decision to leave. Why I am leaving isn't their business.
What do you hand in? Is there paperwork you need to give or can you just tell them in person or text them???
@@AlexGarcia-yp6ov It is best to do it in writing. Write a brief note: Dear Boss: I am resigning my position, effective 30 Sept 2021. Sincerely, …

You raise a good point about a great boss/leader being happy for you.. that puts my emotions in check. thanks!
Yeah, I'm fed up at my current job and I'm going in for an interview in a couple days, so I'm trying to prepare

Never give notice they look for ways to fire u
Aw man don't tell me that 😂💀
Best video on RUclips I seen in regards to the situation I’m in. Thanks.

lol, I just quit
Lol I wish to quit like that but I legit need money before I leave the job especially those long hours I waste my time on. 🙄 give me my smhoney
Excellent video, cheers to a fellow Husky!
Glad you enjoyed it!
"I am seeking other opportunities". Done.
Thank you for the video. Accepted a new job just waiting for the green light from the drug screening and background check before giving the 2 weeks.
I’m just not going to show up anymore.
That's a great way to start, change your phone number too, some employers won't get the hint for a while that you no longer work for them, and try to call asking how to do your job because they have no idea...trust me been there done that.
My problem is that my place of work is super short staffed, so leaving will hurt them
We have to remember that this is not our fault.
@@madisonkay46 Well, it is because you are the one who chose to leave.
Thanks for the tips. Then there's no need for a letter of resignation ? I rather not write one.
I gave my boss a 30 day notice cuz we got a good relationship and I wanna make sure the new person that’s training finishes OJT before I leave.
NEVER give a 2 weeks notice. Give a 3 months notice... or a 0 weeks notice. be ready to leave before you talk to anyone. The only reason to stay at a job is to tie up loose ends that only you can, otherwise... time to leave.
Would you give two weeks' notice if you are retiring?
Great job on your video.
Thanks!
Another good video
Thanks Dave!
To be honest Sir. I have never had a Career which i want desperately at 43. Every job i have had has only been a job. Any advice is appreciated and helpful. I am really close to leave my current employer after three years of killing myself.
You write a letter saying, "Effective _____, I will be resigning my position at _____." You hand it to your boss two weeks prior to your final day.

What companies treat their employees well enough to where you care that you are leaving them. They treat you horrible and hope that you leave.
If you give two weeks notice they still have to pay you for those two weeks.
Many companies will pay you the two weeks and tell you not to come in any more. They’d rather you don’t sabotage anything by performing less than normal
Two weeks notice is outdated like a paper application
great video
Just take two weeks leave and hand your notice in , that if they've been assholes to you .
I just said blank you and left.lol
3 months😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮ffs
Screw the two weeks, just quit. I've never had a company give two weeks when they lay you off
I got a weeks' notice that I would be laid off.
