I was just talking with a friend and his away message was "only 9 more days" and I asked what it was about and he said he gave a two week notice on Wednesday from his job.
I know its "professional" to give a two week notice to employers, but got me thinking, why don't employers give you a two week notice when your getting fired? Only seems fair to give you a heads up. I had a number of friends that got fired in one day (and not for doing anything stupid, just company downsizing).
Ive personally had to let people go and was nice enough to give a heads up so they could start looking for another job.
When I was younger working hourly jobs, I would just quit. If I didn't feel like working, I was done. I worked for a company in LA and gave them a 3 day notice when I got another gig. No use in sticking around if you dont like what your doing for another two weeks.
Just my
for the day
