2 weeks notice

It works the same way. If you have a good company right now but want to explore options and have the possibility to come back then you want to put in two weeks. Life is full of surprises and you never want to burn bridges. Never know when you might need them in the future. Also the new company you are thinking about going to re-iterate to them that you need to put a two week notice in. It shows you have respect for an employer and if you just up and quit, in the back of their minds they will think you might do the same thing to them and might not look at you as good candidate for their company. Just my opinion.

 

I'v been screwed every time(twice) I gave 2 weeks to a trucking company.

 

Well I am at a bottom feeder so not sure it would be good to give 2 week notice.

 

I never gave 2 weeks at any job I've ever had. I'm about one of the best employees someone can find. But when I decide I am done, I am done. I only regret the last time I did it, before I made the decision to fire up my own authority. I regret it because I said I would do the next load, and at the last minute I said heck with this. My most unprofessional moment in trucking. I regret giving my word then going back on it the most. I wouldn't want someone to do that to me.

 

You can only control your actions and character.

Give the notice but be fully prepared to be fired on the spot.

 

Situational dependent. Some places will tell you to leave the minute you put your notice in while others will be glad you gave them a heads up. If you've been working somewhere long enough, odds are you'll already know whether notice is a good idea or not.

 

If I quit, I wouldn’t return. Ever. Even if I liked the job. If it were a job that I even had the notion of going back to it, I wouldn’t quit.

You’re wanting to step up and try new things but you are worried about whether or not things will go well at the new gig? Worried about striking out?

Well, want to hit a home run? Don’t worry about the ‘what ifs’ and aim for the upper deck.


I’ve never worked out a notice, but like I said, I never return.

Btw, where’s your next gig, Mr @Thull ?
