I think you should treat a company the way they treat you. If they waited to get rid of your ass, then you can wait to leave them.

One time in my first year of college I needed a job and found one at Daffy's on 34th street. So I started the job and wore some Durango Boots to work tryna look all cute and stuff. No one told me those doggone boots have an expiration time of comfortable wear of 2 hours max!! So the lady training me say Suga this is your section tidy it up and make sure no clothes are on the floor.

I turned around and looked at the section like She must be out her daggone mind. Everything was piled on top of each other and she had the NERVE to tell me to color coordinate the clothes Dead

. I simply asked in my calm voice what time lunch was? She said 12:30. meanwhile tears are forming cos of those Debil boots. I simply asked if I can go to lunch earlier around 11am and I never returned. I called them to mail my check. ]]> Tue, 05 Feb 2013 13:21:43 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/do-you-give-a-2-weeks-notice_topic354256_post10121324.html#10121324 <![CDATA[Do you give a 2 Weeks Notice? : modelbusiness82 wrote: ...]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/do-you-give-a-2-weeks-notice_topic354256_post10121320.html#10121320 Author: goodm3

Sometimes the environment becomes too toxic after you give notice. My last employer was like that. Literally everyone who gave notice ended up leaving earlier than the 2 weeks (myself included). He had a way of being an ass to everyone and since he wasn't giving the common courtesy of kindness, people weren't interested in "doing him a solid" either.

It's great to stick it out just for that one extra check if you can, but a lot of times, it's literally not doable.

Did they take her check because unaccrued paid time off? I know some employers have the PTO program where they let you go in the negative (let you use more than what was accrued) but if you get laid off or quit they take the equivalent of the pto that was taken in the negative.

I hope this makes sense.

If you think you may want to return to that job, it's best to give a two week notice.

I don't like to burn career bridged, especially in our current job climate.

For the most part, I do. In the event that I can't, I try to give them at least a week/week and a half notice.

I was always told that it's the right thing to do. You never want to burn any bridges and you don't know if, for whatever reason, you'll have to come back or call on them for something. Also, if you use them as a reference, you would want them to say positive things about you.

yup

id have to assisst in finding my replacement but before that, they have a right to refuse and tag on an extra 4 weeks

the only way to circumvent this additional 4 weeks is to give informal notice at least a couple of weeks before your 'official notification of intent to leave' is handed in

the cost of temporary staffing is ridiculous

i dont blame them

Isn't that illegal?

I know that here, it is completely illegal and as a matter of fact, if an employer wants to get rid of you before 30 days, they have to pay you 30 days salary as compensation.
