How have you given two week notices in the past? (lemmy.world)

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?

"Due to the continued denial for training and commensurate pay increases which were part of the employment agreement, I have chosen to explore other options. I am providing 4 weeks notice to allow time for a replacement to be found."

Before the day was done my mamager walked me out of the building with the agreement they would pay me for the 4 weeks but I did not have to come back to the office.

Did they actually pay you?

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes!

That place was so toxic. Getting out of there by itself was necessary. Getting paid to search for my next job was a cherry on top.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's good to hear. I've had bad jobs before but I feel like my job now is getting to the point where I need to go also. Wish me luck!

Best of luck to you friend!
