    There’s nothing more satisfying than quitting in person so you can look your boss in the eye and tell him he is a piece of shit, making them so mad they threaten to call the cops on you for trespassing as you are literally walking out the door lmao.

    I don’t mind giving a 2 week notice normally, but at this particular job one of my coworkers put her notice in and they fired her that day. They immediately lost their 2 week notice privileges from me with that slick move.

    I love how companies expect you to give them 2 week notices, but how many of them give you any notice before laying you off or firing you? None- that’s how many. They literally value their own profits over human beings, fuck them.

      It should just be standard to eliminate the 2 weeks bullshit. Telling someone they will be fired in 2 weeks is not a smart move. They could do all kinds of damage to the business with their access. IT is a great example.

      We just need to normalize quitting with no notice. Companies still survive with employees going on 1-2 week vacations. They will be fine with no 2 week notice bullshit.

      Unless it’s in your contract, of course.

        One placed laid me off. I was a senior telecom/network admin in IT, so while I wouldn’t have due to personal morals, I definitely had potential to, with even just my badge access.

        They gave me about 3 weeks, with no access. They told me I was gone officially at the end of the month and my would be paid normally until then, after which severance would kick in, but don’t come in.

        I think that’s a fine way to do it.

        I think this is smart, businesses should always strive to lower their employee-hit-by-a-bus factor as much as possible instead of relying on a social nicety. I think that would also reduce a lot of the pressure to not call out sick or take PTO.
