I've tried both ways. I tried to do the "nice sendoff" by giving a huge 2 month notice, and even trained my replacement, documented all my procedures etc. What did I get? It turned out apparently I hadn't been at the company long enough, so they revoked all the money the company had contributed to my 401K. On my last day, instead of having time at the end to go around and say goodbye to my coworkers, security shows up 2 hours early and I was escorted out of the building.
My next job I just quit without notice. The job had turned pretty sour, and I was on contract, the company had acted in some morally questionable ways, so when it was my turn to leave I didn't have too much hesitation about just up and quitting.
Now maybe I'm a little more disillusioned than most people, or maybe it's just the world we live in now -- reverse pay-it-forward.
- molbioguy 15y agoThat sucks. Your disillusionment is understandable. I guess my viewpoint on this assumes the employer is honorable. Maybe too narrow an assumption in this market. But your comment shows you did take your employer's situation into consideration, which is what I'm hoping to find.
