Fun Fact! Two Weeks Notice is not a REQUIREMENT in any sense of the word. It’s a nicety. A polite gesture, and only polite for the MANAGEMENT because THEY want time to find someone to replace you. They cannot withhold your last paycheck if you refuse to give two weeks notice, and they cannot force you to work the two weeks. Additionally, they cannot report that to any future employers who call them regarding your work history. In fact, they’re not allowed to comment on your performance AT ALL! Legally they are only allowed to confirm that you were an employee during the dates you list - anything else and they open themselves up to civil lawsuits in which they can be sued for damages for any number of reasons. So fuck Two Weeks Notice. if you work for a fucked company, they deserve to get fucked in return.
If you ever feel bad about not giving two weeks' notice, or like you're being unprofessional/unfair, think about this:
If your boss fired you, would they give YOU two weeks' notice? Or would they have you escorted out of the building then and there?
Anything they don't owe you, you don't owe them. Fuck 'em.
Oh these are therapeutic
I'd just like to add a classic:
Recently quit my job with a whole lot of fuckery going on surrounding it, but I wanted to be professional and give my two weeks instead they told me your done at the end of the current week. I had a coworker who I was quitting with who submitted their letter at the same time who was kept for the full two weeks they said they were staying. Fuck two weeks notice. Just get the fuck out when you’re ready and make sure you’re taken care of.
As someone who’s not American I’m just stuck on the “your boss would not give you a two weeks notice and straight up escort you out”. Like I’ve heard of it but seeing it in the wild is like. Hm they can do what
