Just remember what most of giving notice is about...
Presumably you've made positive connections with your fellow teammates and feel some sympathy for how they may suffer a bit with your departure. You're giving notice so they (and you) can mitigate that suffering. During that time you may not be doing much work, but answering questions, typing up arcane knowledge you have about particular areas, etc.
Not burning bridges. If you hope to every use anyone at your current company as a reference in the future, give decent notice. The last impression you leave is likely what will stick.
In the end, I'd think of it as following the Golden Rule. Even if they don't, if you'd like to work at a company that would provide severance in the event they needed to let you go (basically giving you "notice"), then do the same. The world is what we make it.
- bruce511 5y agoThere's nothing wrong with asking, but be graceful if they say no. Make no mistake, it doesn't matter how long you were there, or how great you were to them, you will be remembered based on the way you leave. You can leave well, and have good contacts and references for life, or leave badly and you just set fire to years if reputation and networking. That kind of damage will make it a really expensive week off.
