2 weeks notice?

[urplecigarillos]

Is a 2 weeks notice required when quitting a job?

ive always given them before but I don't feel likes rating any longer. 

Its a basic retail job. What would the effects be if I just gave them 

may letter of resignation at the end of the week?

 

[offbad]

no.

but it is generally a good idea though if you wish to resign on good terms. 

if it's retail where you're part time and barely making 20 hours a week they probably won't care one way or the other. 

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Nope it's not Necessary..

 

[mangudai954]

I say yes, its the tactful thing to do.

They don't give you a 2 week notice when laying you off or when your let go so if its some pos job they don't deserve the same consideration from you.

 

[rko2004]

In some cases a job will let you go before you finish out your two weeks, but I'd still put one in just to say I left on good terms.

As Rex said though, jobs have been hacking people without warning forever or cutting hours/benefits due to their screw ups many times.

Lord help you if its a non union and at will hire type of gig. My old boss you to straight push people into quitting or arguing with her and BAM. Fired
On top of that. They STRUGGLE to keep anyone.

Just put one in though.

This.

It is best to give them your two weeks. You never know if you have to have a reference and the only reference you have is your former employer.

If its an actual real world job, like after college then yes. Its tactful and respectful you never want to burn any bridges ya dig.

 

[mdwst9]

i say u always have to put ur 2wks in beacuse u never know if u have to go back lol

 

[retroflashbacks]

I would give the two weeks.

Even though it's a retail position, you never know how your employer might take it.

It's always good to leave a place on good terms so you have references in the future.

 

[beezylocks]

I just realized that at every job I've had, I ain't never did the 2 week thing...

FTL- got fired
Best buy-seasonal
Radio shack -1 week notice
Macy's- 1 week notice, (didnt go my last two shifts )
Restaurant- unpredicted medical leave

 

[unknwn]

If you want to resign on good terms and use them as a reference in the future, yes.

 

[stillin729]

2 weeks is NOT necessary

You probably should have made contacts within the company who will be a good reference who cares if some douche manager will be butt hurt

 

[robotea]

Give the 2 weeks, then just show up everyday and chill for those 2 weeks.

For real when I quit my last job I didn't do a damn thing for 2 weeks and took like 2 hr lunches

I had about 30 references within the company and people were angry they didn't take better care of me because once I left my entire team started quitting when they hired a new manager

It was so awesome watching the train wreck that was upon them

 

[Original Playa Records]

i have this mentality of never quitting, just tell them you're in school or change your availability.

 

[champ305]

Lol. it's the "right" thing to do. plus, it may leave coworkers you're cool with doing extra work because of lack of coverage.

 

[Fong$tarr]

If job experience is a must on your resume, then I say yes. The last thing you want to do is burn bridges. It also depends on the job. Some jobs require degrees or other such things and others just want to know if you been out there working and aren't a total screw up, hence them checking your references. So I would if you know your manager is worth having as a reference but if not, then just remember to make sure to use someone else from that job that can give you a good word.

 

[corndogmcgee]

if it's a career job, then yes, 2 weeks is the tactful thing to do and preserve your reputation within the industry field. 2 weeks is often more than generous and any knowledge transfer needed before you leave can be done within that time.

Yes, companies can lay off employees at the drop of a hat, but they also run the same risk of reputation damage. Also those companies are obligated to offer some sort severance benefit+compensation during layoffs - again speaking about career jobs, not part time retail, restaurant, etc.
