@Will2Power@koropokkur in theory the reason to give 2 weeks is because you might work with people in that company again if your industry is small and leaving them in the lurch sucks.
@Will2Power@koropokkur also, as far as PTO goes, you shouldn't need to use that up. That's your money and you should get it paid out when you are done or you can take them to court, iirc.
One time I stopped showing up and when boss asked if I was coming in I said "I moved 2 hours away, so probs ngmi"
One time I put in a notice and halfway through, boss was a douche so I did a burnout in a company vehicle and tossed my keys to a junior employ at the end of my shift.
Neither of these actions were illegal or harmful to my career trajectory. You know what harms your career? Trusting the company. They will let you stagnate and walk you out when it suits them.
I've quit one company cold after got my bonus performance rates cut half and my biggest client account transferred from under me. I quit deliberately in the peak of the hottest period of the year. Spitefully i visited the company and looked from the outside as they scrambled to fill the void by hiring outside help. These few days, before i clued them in, my phone buzzed from the office and former colleagues ringing me up every 20 minutes or something. Two years after i come by looking if they wanted to offer me something decent. I barely recognize anybody, most teams rotated most of the staff. Somehow everybody recognize me by "the guy that did X this one time", lmao. Boss asks if i want the job.
If you're worth your pay, it doesn't matter. Probably more dangerous if you're easily replaceable.
@pepsi_man@whiteman_ lots of things can screw you over. Trusting a company post 1971 is probably #1 way. But screwing over colleagues in a small industry is certainly #2.
@sickburnbro@Will2Power@koropokkur I keep telling people...the only companies that reach out to hire me back are the ones I dont give notice to...HR is full of women...treat them accordingly...
@sickburnbro@Frondeur@Will2Power@koropokkur I did that twice and refused ever after, it's almost double work and you're somewhat responsible for the newbie retard, since it's training plus you're expected to maintain your targets till the end too.
Leave it to their team leaders, foremen or whatever they have for that role. It's a sucker move many companies try. Also remind yourself how your own on boarding looked like? Did your predecesor trained you and transferred his account/clients to you? LMAO
yeah. i had that happen to me once. trained newb and the manager wanted me to write my process down so he could use it in the future. no. im not writing my own job description and process for workload for the guy who gets paid to write them.
@Juggerbug@Largo in theory if you are leaving for whatever reason it was customary to do 2 weeks notice. Places also wanted you to put in vacation requests like what 4 weeks ahead?
@Largo@sickburnbro I thought two week notices were solely for things like job changes, retirement or if one were to enlist. I've never heard of anyone putting in a notice for any other reason.
@Basketball_Jesus@Largo well, it's going to be rough when the floor drops out, but whoever survives, it's gonna be like england after the black plague - more land, more food, better access to technology.
