So, I’ve given several two week notices throughout my career. Unfortunately, I recently had to give one over the phone instead of in person. I only report to one guy and he was on vacation. I could have just given it to HR but that would have felt scummy. I called him and gave him my notice then sent him a letter of resignation. Feels bad man. Anyone else ever have to give a two week notice in an awkward/unfortunate way?

    I typically do NOT give 2 weeks notice.

    I went from ‘camp’ jobs where you’re fired and you have until the truck or boat or plane comes to pack all the shit you can carry and leave, to secret-squirrel jobs where quitting renders you instantly from “valued human asset” to “probably a diseased criminal”.

    I have

    • given two weeks at the start of my 2-week vacation
    • given notice that the taxi arriving now is taking me to the airport to my new city and job
    • just ghosted (that was an international one)
    • came in, dropped off my stuff, catalogued it with a peer and then had the peer escort me offsite
