I learned the HARD way, NEVER feel guilty about making a business decision for your career. Companies don't care when the story is flipped. Be polite, do your best for any transitions, but do what is best for you. Good advice, Ken.
How is it disrespectful for him to give a 2 week notice? He didn't have to give her any notice. If she gets rid of him before the 2 weeks, she just hurts herself. The 2 week notice is for the company, not the employee. This lady is a piece of work.
Question: Why is it professional that we give our employers 2 week notice when we end our employment, but our employers can terminate us on the spot and its okay?
That’s what I’m asking!!! And they don’t even have to give you a reason. This lady is lucky this dude even have her a two week notice to find someone else when he didn’t have to.
Best of luck to this young man. If the restaurant wanted to dump him for whatever reason they would in a heartbeat. The manager's response to his announcement is exactly why people aren't loyal anymore. No one trusts anyone anymore and we live in a world where greed is running rampant and it is everyone for themselves. It's a sad state of affairs.
You learn a lot about an employer when you turn in a notice. It’s a harsh reality when you learn young tnat companies have no loyalty or care about you at all. But once you know that you can move forward knowing just be respectful and do what’s best for your home. Can’t control what they’re gonna do
I never had any problems at all with my job. I put in my two weeks and my boss started pointing out things that he didn’t like about my work ethic. He said they have gone out of their way to accommodate my request.? I was so confused. He said you need to work really hard the next two weeks and don’t slack, you have put us in a bind. I was so confused I have worked my ass off since day 1. Screw character, I left so I hope they enjoy their bind! It was such a shocking interaction. I could not believe what had happened. It has made me think my boss was fake with me the whole time. The reason I didn’t go back is because I thought it would be a weird environment to be in after the things he said. It was better for me and my integrity 😁
No counteroffer means that they really don't want to keep him. He was just there for their convenience. If they kick him out, all the better, because they don't really need him if they do that. Good luck to this guy.
No necessarily. Some companies don’t counter offer. I worked for a manufacturing company for 5 years and no person who left was given a counter offer the entire time I was there. Counter offers weren’t even given to key people who were a big loss to the company at the time.
I gave two weeks notice on my last two jobs. Both employers responded by just removing me from the schedule they had posted on the computer. Neither of the two even tried to get me to stay by offering me more money. Both times I left each employer, I went to a new job with even more pay. I left my last employer due to an inexperienced manager who was creating a toxic work environment, and was targeting me. The last manager thought she could retaliate by just removing me from the schedule. However I was able to start the new position right away. The managers attempt was unsuccessful. There are jobs out there that employers are having difficulty filling.
I work for a office that employees less than 50 people. I told a coworker that I had a job interview. My office manager confronted; asked if I was actively looking for a position. I told her the truth. That this job offer popped up in my news feed and I applied for it. I found out that she posted my job that day! I live paycheck to paycheck. It really upset me that she was going to terminate me for looking for another job. Yet, when the 20 something year old turned in her notice they offered her more money to stay. Plus, they listed my job for four dollars more per hour than what I make. Why was I looking for another job? We were told that due to the IT removing software from the managers computer that they could not complete annual reviews or give raises. A few weeks later, they promoted about five people including the office manager and gave those people raises.
I turned in my notice at my job 3 days left they called me on the office I said here we go I’m fired 5 dollar raise and a extra week vacation I ended up staying
He did nothing wrong except being too nice by giving a notice. If the tables were turned, he's just a number and would be cut in an instant. So don't feel bad about bettering your situation.
Ken is absolutely right she is triggered. As a ClinicalI Social Worker I call that first reaction an emotional kick; it's just like your foot kicking out when the doc taps your knee during a sports physical.. I encourage people to overlook the first 15 to 30 seconds of someone's response and not take it personally. Also, as a general rule If the strong negativity is coming from them it's really more about them. If it's coming from you it's really about you. God bless guys.
In my previous job, I gave my boss a 4 month notice and he didn't belive me. I told him I would work until the end of April and at the time it was December. When April came around I reminded him that this was April and I would be gone at months end. He arranged for my vacation and final pay check ten days later almost in the middle of April. So I guess, so much for being courteous and professional?
Stick to two weeks. Unless its some kind of executive position and you have a long personal history. If you don't need the reference, I wouldn't even give two weeks. If its under a 40k job no notice.
My only long term job that I really excelled at and got a raise, I gave A MONTH’s notice and my boss (the owner) flipped out on me. Now I can’t use her as a reference because she thinks I let her down. She said “Sydney don’t do this to me, I can’t afford to train new employees right now, I need you to stay. You can’t do this.” She doesn’t like me anymore in general, because she took it personally. It’s such a shame. Because of her immaturity and lack of professionalism, I don’t have a positive job reference.
I just told my boss I was leaving-it’s a two-month notice. He was upset, said it wasn’t enough notice time. Wth 🤦🏼♂️ I’ve taken it on myself to ask a future prospective employer for past employee references on them. No sense in this one-way street anymore.
If its hourly/entry level and you need the money, don't give advance notice. Inform them at the end of the shift or follow online procedure. 99% it will result in termination anyway.
I agree. I get being stressed out if an employee gives no notice, but a 2 week notice is much more than most employees give. Many just don't show up at their next shift. That has happened many times at my job. We didn't know that they left until they just stopped showing up.
When you are an at will employee with no contract, employment can be terminated by either party at any time with or without notice. When your hours are cut, and you cannot live on what they are paying you, you have to seek other employment. When a company you work for cuts your hours, they do not always tell you. They just do it without notice. That is because they have an agenda. On my last job, my hours were cut, and I started receiving paychecks for $0.00. All of my earnings were being taken for benefit deductions, and taxes. The company was trying to smoke me out through an agenda. I was offered another job, and gave my two week notice. They responded by just removing me from the schedule. During my career, I have seen other people who just walked out when the $0.00 paychecks started coming, and they gave no notice.
It just happened to me. I gave 2 weeks and they said no, you can be done today. Welcome to the trades. Similar to food service. Old guys in the trade told me, When you find a new job, just turn in your truck. 2 weeks is an outdated thing to do for most industries these days. All you can do is be the bigger person and know you left professionally.
I just tell my new employer I have to give two weeks notice so I can take a two week vacation. Then I resign and leave. Most managers and executives take resignations personally and alot of them wont want you to stick around for fear of messing with the company anyway. WE don't leave companies, we leave managers.
Ken, I really like your points. Very good advice. I would also suggest the caller talk to his new employer to let him know he might be able to start sooner.
If she doesn't like it, tough shit. People move on, and she needs to grow up, act like an adult and accept it. Otherwise she's gonna get a bad rep and ruin her business.
Recently, I gave two weeks' notice at my job. It was an uncomfortable thing to do but it was the best for my family. I worked as a retail manager years ago. His boss was lucky that he gave two weeks' notice. These days, she's lucky that he showed up.
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?
The best thing to do is find a new job, get a start date in mind, and call into your soon to be former company say you resign effective immediately. If you sign an at will agreement you can leave anytime.
Love his comment on he doesn’t owe that restaurant anything else , I told myself that when I scheduled my knee surgery and would need weeks off , I’m the only one assigned to my position and I was afraid my boss would be mad so I told myself that same thing
I had a state job years ago. They would pay 2 guys 4 hours of overtime each for what I would do in 4 hours myself. They kissed ass and I didn’t. I had enough and walked in to the director and said I quit. I threw my keys in the desk and walked out. She tried to get me to stay and I’m like nah.
I’m in a region with lots of restaurants and having a hard time finding a server job. Too many managers seem arrogant with their positions. Got experience and they question why I left, but they want someone with experience.
You should never feel guilty for putting your interests or your family’s interests first. Sure, if the job was good to you, be polite and give a notice. But I can tell you that the minute your it becomes counter to your employer’s interests, you will be out. Oftentimes, they won’t even give you a notice. So if it is perfectly fine for your employer to put their financial interests first, why is it wrong for you to do the same?
Man, I gave my 2 weeks notice today and my boss flipped out, I told him that I got a new job offer and I'm willing to take it, he said why waite 2 weeks that I can leave now, he also said what was the point of paying me the 2 weeks if I was leaving, to make the story short he told me to leave today, and I heard that as soon as I left no even finished my 8 hours, he made a meeting with the other guys talking crap about me that I was a looser and a quitter, I tried to keep it professional but he didn't, and I still have to go back to pick my checks, any recommendations will be much appreciated.
You do not have to go back to get your paychecks. At my last two jobs, I asked human resources to do direct deposit. That was the way I was paid all along. One of the two said there would be a corporate check sent to my residence by overnight mail, and it did arrive. If they want you out immediately after giving notice, then why would they want you to come back to get paid? Some people who leave end up coming back, and recruit other former co-workers to come and work at their new employer.
I was at a job for five years. The last two years were ridiculous... pettiness overload. One night it was too much. I formulated my two weeks notice letter, waiting until everything was done for the next day and slipped it under the owners door. They, the owner and the managers avoided me... which was smart on their part. I came in and clocked in with a minute to spare and clocked out on time. All the extra work that I had had dumped on me for years, I started shirking it. Sometimes I just said no. I worked non stop so I could leave within minutes...boy, were they annoyed. At one point someone said that they didn't like that I was doing things like that; I was now picking and choosing what I wanted to do, to just saying no. When they try to threaten me, I was like, " Or... what? Fire me? " They were stuck like a deer in the headlights. My last night there, my manager nor the owner said good luck, let alone look at me. The owner started suffering from dementia, so the manager ran things until the owner died. The owner left the business to the manager. They are still mad that I quit, they wanted me to be fired. Many of them are still there.
I left my old job where I worked at the hospital for 22years and found another job I had to leave and what you guys are talking about that is what I went through so I want thought that my old boss was telling g every one that I am leaving .I was mad and he said that I told everyone that i quit .I had to quit or I would be going to another hospital in another county I understand about this
just leave if they start acting up giving notice is just the right professional thing to do its no law saying you have to do it just walk out go home they cant stop you. its always nice leaving jobs on good terms because you never know what the future holds but sometimes its not possible specially if your in a toxic work environment. you did your part by giving them notice if they start acting unprofessional and toxic thats on them not you dont put your self through that just walk out go home start your new job with a fresh mind set.
I gave notice and my boss asked to see me in the back and ripped me a new rear. She said I should have told her before I gave the other employer an answer. I sat there with no emotion. When I told her it is a bigger volume place and better to take for advancement, she said that I will be waiting forever. They can go pick someone from another place to get promoted, and my chances are slim. Ridiculous.
You owe your former boss nothing. Zero. If she doesn't like it, she can go squat on a cactus and see how that works out for her. Take care of yourself and dump that old job like a hot potato.
Cory from Agawam I live in the next town over tell me what restaurant. I'll take the assistant manager job. Then make the manager completely dependent on me and just walk out
I had to find another job while my main job was under a remodel. The new job at the very least offered me a better position than expo. I only took the expo job because I knew I'd have my serving job back soon. An easy hire to get on a payroll during offseason. A month goes by and They asked me if I wanted to serve and I said no because I didn't feel like sitting an hour and a half in traffic to get there and pay for parking when my other job is 10 minutes away and no pay for parking. They let me work out my whole 2 weeks. It's unfortunate that restaurant got destroyed last year by Hurricane Ian. Good people man.
It would be great if we could move on from this old and tiresome 2020 insult. It’s misogynistic and ageist. It was also my mother’s name and she was the best person I ever knew.
Being a bit of a devil's advocate, I think this conversation is one-sided. Was this his first job in F&b? Was he trained in house? Did he apply for the new job or was he headhunted? The fact that he called, in my opinion, is that he wanted to get some guilt of his chest... It's a free country and glad he's growing professionally, just think that both POV should be considered. Cheers ✌️
Who cares? None of what you mentioned matters. He doesn’t owe that place anything. You have to do what’s best for you. Just like the restaurant will do what’s best for their business. He wanted better pay and opportunity for growth/advancement. He found that and gave the standard 2 week notice. The fact that he called means that he wants to know if he did the respectful and right thing. Doesn’t sound guilty
When an employee gives their 2 week notice, it’s best they go ahead & leave. The employer isn’t going to get much out of that employee as they have ‘I’m leaving in x days’ attitude. It’s not rude to let them go early- it’s just business.
@Wyatt Borden 6 weeks notice is a lot different than a 2 week notice. Good for you for still pounding away at your job- I wish more people had that work ethic.
It depends on the employee. Some just stop working once they are almost out, but others still bust their butts and do a great job. It's all about work ethic with people. If someone has always been a good worker, they will keep working well till the end.
Some employees call out after giving their 2 week notice. They use their sick pay, and accrued PTO days to ride out the last two weeks. I've seen people do it.
I don't he will ever have trouble finding jobs in a restaurant. If this one doesn't work out, there are a hundred other restaurant jobs that are needing people.

It doesn't matter. They can get mad and stay mad. This is YOUR life. You are in control of your own life.
The day after you leave, they will not remember your name. Enjoy your step up and the extra money! Hard work pays off.
How is it disrespectful for him to give a 2 week notice? He didn't have to give her any notice. If she gets rid of him before the 2 weeks, she just hurts herself. The 2 week notice is for the company, not the employee. This lady is a piece of work.
Question: Why is it professional that we give our employers 2 week notice when we end our employment, but our employers can terminate us on the spot and its okay?
I good employer will give you some severance if it's not a performance related termination.
That’s what I’m asking!!! And they don’t even have to give you a reason. This lady is lucky this dude even have her a two week notice to find someone else when he didn’t have to.
They pay you for those 2 weeks so who cares
That’s the million dollar 💵 question 🤔
It’s not. I think employers should be mandatorily required to provide an extra 2 weeks of pay onto an employees final check if they terminate them
“It is rare that being guilty and feeling guilty happen at the same time.” Stephen Youngblood
Wow, Stephen Youngblood sounds like a smart guy.
Wow. That's a great quote.
Best of luck to this young man. If the restaurant wanted to dump him for whatever reason they would in a heartbeat. The manager's response to his announcement is exactly why people aren't loyal anymore. No one trusts anyone anymore and we live in a world where greed is running rampant and it is everyone for themselves. It's a sad state of affairs.

….Another reason you are leaving…Bravo!!👏
Common sense you don't want your employees to leave? GIVE THEM A COUNTER OFFER 👏
Never accept a counter offer. They just use it as time to replace you
thats what they did to me but remember. if you do take it and its time to lay some people off? youre #1
2 weeks notice is for them to fill the position before you leave. Take that 2 weeks for yourself to rest and get prepared for the new position.
I've never given a 2 weeks notice. I just stopped showing up. I don't owe them a damn thing.
Oh well…they should’ve taken care of this young man!!! It never hits these toxic bosses until you make a move!!!!
No counteroffer means that they really don't want to keep him. He was just there for their convenience. If they kick him out, all the better, because they don't really need him if they do that. Good luck to this guy.

Losing you made them panic...

He did nothing wrong except being too nice by giving a notice. If the tables were turned, he's just a number and would be cut in an instant. So don't feel bad about bettering your situation.
two weeks notice. That is all they deserve. At the point she flipped, I would have said okay I will go right now.
Same here. 2 weeks notice is a courtesy.
Exactly. I would've done the same. Two weeks is more than enough time to give notice.
I have *three* months notice (based in Europe)
You owe them nothing. Absolutely nothing but a notice. It is none of their business where or what you are going to do.
I used to feel guilty leaving jobs too....aging and maturity will fix that 😆
I have never felt guilty leaving the job
Agreed 💯
@@Jane5720 never in my life! Don't look back!

I’m sorry that’s shitty, sounds like an awful boss. Is she the only boss there?
Are you in a better position? That boss was NOT a leader. It is disappointing to hear she took it personally

WE don't leave companies, we leave managers.
Notice is for white collar/trades/exec positions where everybody knows everyone. If you don't need the reference, don't give notice.
Never get hung up on what these stupid low level managers think about you bettering yourself in your career.
Ken, I really like your points. Very good advice.
I would also suggest the caller talk to his new employer to let him know he might be able to start sooner.

DON'T EVEN GIVE A TWO-WEEK NOTICE. WHEN THEY FIRE YOU, THEY DON'T GIVE A TWO-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?
Great call. A real situation for a lot of people especially in this very competitive climate. (Across most industries.)

My last night there, my manager nor the owner said good luck, let alone look at me.
The owner started suffering from dementia, so the manager ran things until the owner died. The owner left the business to the manager.
They are still mad that I quit, they wanted me to be fired. Many of them are still there.
I left my old job where I worked at the hospital for 22years and found another job I had to leave and what you guys are talking about that is what I went through so I want thought that my old boss was telling g every one that I am leaving .I was mad and he said that I told everyone that i quit .I had to quit or I would be going to another hospital in another county I understand about this
She lets you go early, and the next person to quit won't give her any notice at all.
The moment she threatened to kick me out before the two weeks I’d be gone.
Lol, 2 weeks notice just be a nice person. If someone is freaking out about something nice I'm doing for them, then fine, goodbye 👋
just leave if they start acting up giving notice is just the right professional thing to do its no law saying you have to do it just walk out go home they cant stop you. its always nice leaving jobs on good terms because you never know what the future holds but sometimes its not possible specially if your in a toxic work environment. you did your part by giving them notice if they start acting unprofessional and toxic thats on them not you dont put your self through that just walk out go home start your new job with a fresh mind set.
I gave notice and my boss asked to see me in the back and ripped me a new rear. She said I should have told her before I gave the other employer an answer. I sat there with no emotion. When I told her it is a bigger volume place and better to take for advancement, she said that I will be waiting forever. They can go pick someone from another place to get promoted, and my chances are slim. Ridiculous.
You owe your former boss nothing. Zero. If she doesn't like it, she can go squat on a cactus and see how that works out for her. Take care of yourself and dump that old job like a hot potato.
Sounds like she’s projecting lol. Moving on was the best option from the sounds of it.
If you don't want us to leave, give us a reason to stay.
Sounds like a personal problem to me!
Nah, the moment I hear that I'd be out the door, she is a horrible person, as a leader is her job to keep her cool.
Great point with the hammer!
I don't like when Employees leave and all of their crap would b on me it happen to me multiple times when I use to work in retail
restaurants are really hard jobs, get the job dont feel bad. this is a very hard business people will work a lot and make almost nothing
Cory from Agawam I live in the next town over tell me what restaurant. I'll take the assistant manager job. Then make the manager completely dependent on me and just walk out
I would've left on the spot
Ken’s hair lookin 👌🏻
Great Advice
They say if you don't give 2 weeks notice and just leave they call it job Embandement
I had to find another job while my main job was under a remodel. The new job at the very least offered me a better position than expo. I only took the expo job because I knew I'd have my serving job back soon. An easy hire to get on a payroll during offseason.
A month goes by and They asked me if I wanted to serve and I said no because I didn't feel like sitting an hour and a half in traffic to get there and pay for parking when my other job is 10 minutes away and no pay for parking. They let me work out my whole 2 weeks.
It's unfortunate that restaurant got destroyed last year by Hurricane Ian. Good people man.
The entitlement of this Karen....
Unbelievable.
It would be great if we could move on from this old and tiresome 2020 insult. It’s misogynistic and ageist. It was also my mother’s name and she was the best person I ever knew.
Technically you don’t have to give two weeks notice away, but the employer can fire you on the spot
Being a bit of a devil's advocate, I think this conversation is one-sided. Was this his first job in F&b? Was he trained in house? Did he apply for the new job or was he headhunted? The fact that he called, in my opinion, is that he wanted to get some guilt of his chest... It's a free country and glad he's growing professionally, just think that both POV should be considered.
Cheers ✌️
Who cares? None of what you mentioned matters. He doesn’t owe that place anything. You have to do what’s best for you. Just like the restaurant will do what’s best for their business. He wanted better pay and opportunity for growth/advancement. He found that and gave the standard 2 week notice.
The fact that he called means that he wants to know if he did the respectful and right thing. Doesn’t sound guilty
Two weeks notice is outdated like a paper application.
"At-Will" means...At-Will...sucka!!! 😼👍
This is way you DONT give a 2 weeks just QUIT!
She is inconvenienced.
Mature Adult activity you say?
Prediction before I watch: he’s really mad because you caught him off guard, and now he’s gonna have to scramble to cover for you.
With two weeks of notice?
When an employee gives their 2 week notice, it’s best they go ahead & leave. The employer isn’t going to get much out of that employee as they have ‘I’m leaving in x days’ attitude. It’s not rude to let them go early- it’s just business.
@Wyatt Borden 6 weeks notice is a lot different than a 2 week notice. Good for you for still pounding away at your job- I wish more people had that work ethic.
It depends on the employee. Some just stop working once they are almost out, but others still bust their butts and do a great job. It's all about work ethic with people. If someone has always been a good worker, they will keep working well till the end.
Some employees call out after giving their 2 week notice. They use their sick pay, and accrued PTO days to ride out the last two weeks. I've seen people do it.
@@ericknoblauch9195exactly. I work in HR 90% of my employees do that.
Down side he won’t have that place to fall back on later on , but sounds like he won’t need that if he is high demand
I don't he will ever have trouble finding jobs in a restaurant. If this one doesn't work out, there are a hundred other restaurant jobs that are needing people.
