2 weeks is the standard amount of notice to give to employers and I think part of that reason is that companies may let you go if you give them too much notice.

2 weeks is the standard amount of notice to give to employers and I think part of that reason is that companies may let you go if you give them too much notice. Sure there are situations where more may be warranted, but 2 months notice is long enough that it doesn't make sense to staff you on new projects or give you new responsibilities.
- Aromasin 7y agoThis seems like an American phenomenon. I'm planning on handing in a notice soon, and from asking around it seems like 4 weeks minimum is the standard in the UK. A 2 weeks notice only happens when you leave on really unfriendly terms.
- rootusrootus 7y agoIt is very culturally dependent. In India, for example, four weeks notice might get you blacklisted, you're expected to give a lot more than that.
