      You are not required to give a 2 weeks (unless it is stated in your contract when you accepted the job offer). Its a common courtesy to do it so it gives the employer time to find a replacement and prep for your leave.

    This scenario is rarely how it goes when leaving. If you're a valuable employee they are going to guilt trip you HARD. Be prepared to get some shade and take it with class. It's actually incredible how everyone's perception of you will change immediately, even if you are a valued employee.

    Always act respectfully , after all your former boss is going to be a reference for you. Life is short, your working to live not living to work, get out of your comfort zone and grow, leave the comfort/familiarity of the nest behind, spread your wings and find that prize. Be humble yet optimistic and stay positive . I hope everyone lands their dream job.

    Fresh out of college with my first professional job making roughly about $52k a year. I will not mention the company. After 3 years of working at that company, I was told on a Wednesday that Friday will be my last day. I schedule a meeting with my manager and HR and they. gave me no reason about letting me go. It all came down to the company was downsizing. From that day forward, I never gave a company a two weeks notice. Never. Why would I give you more time to find a replacement and you're not willing to give me more time until I find a new job.

      I don't know what industry you're in, but consider that two weeks notice is a courtesy you give that reflects well on you as an individual. It's practically built in to starting a new position with transition time anyway. In more connected work circles, giving zero notice is only ever going to stir up ill-will in your wake.
      Don't be like a company, companies suck.

    Pro tip: give however many days notice as you want. Just be sure you do ot after your bonus was deposited into your bank account. Seen too many people quit a few weeks too soon, thinking their bonus would be on their last pay check, when in fact it wasn't

My boss is wonderful and the company is warm. However, I just don’t have much free time anymore and I recently got a new job throughout the weekdays. The job is a receptionist role, and I’m passionate about customer service, and I’ve had a change of heart. I don’t know what to do. I feel like it’ll be a burden for my boss to find a new employee and train them

    After reading a bunch of comments I'm just throw this out there but the 2 week rule is if you DON'T want to burn bridges and screw over your coworkers.
    If it's a terrible work environment with awful people then feel free to walk away as you see fit. Hand in 2 weeks If you potentially want references, or to refer a friend for a position, or possibly a backup job in case the new place doesn't work out and you know the old place will welcome you back with open arms.

    I just got hired into this new role, it’s all new to me and everyone is really helping me out to get settled. It’s been three weeks since I got hired. But I have just been offered a better deal, and a better pay, I am currently working 3 days a week and this is a full time job opportunity. I don’t know what to say in my two weeks notice, I feel like I am letting them down and they are super busy right now, finding someone new will be a pull on them. But at the same time I need to go because this new opportunity is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I don’t know how to go about it

      It’s unfortunate that this happens, but if that’s how they’re going to treat someone, then it’s probably for the better that you did resign. When I put my two weeks in at my first job, everyone was giving me the silent treatment. After a couple years, they’ve still had trouble filling my position and realized that I was helping way more than what I was being paid for. And now they beg me to come back, like, gee, maybe you guys should have thought long-term, instead of in the moment when you tried to pretend I didn’t exist.

Too low for someone who've been working this far. No bonuses. I feel like I'm valuable but in the same time I feel not appreciated.
