Companies don't give you two weeks when they let you go. Why should you give them shit?
- sharkweek 3y agoBecause unfortunately the power dynamic is such that people will know you quit on the spot and it’ll burn networking opportunities down the road. Less an issue at a big enough company though so there’s that.
- Apocryphon 3y agoMaybe they won’t remember. Maybe they’ll think you had a valid personal reason.
- moate 3y agoMaybe you’ll go the rest of your life never finding out how they felt because of the myriad reasons you won’t run into those people. Giving notice is risk aversion.
- Apocryphon 3y agoAs someone who’s gone out of their way to give three weeks’ notice, I’m not one to test the limits- though I’ve realized extra time given is hardly appreciated. But I’m not about to condemn others for taking risks against an uncaring corporate structure.

- bitcharmer 3y agoWhat are you talking about? I have a 3-month notice period; that goes both ways. I'm assuming you're from USA where employees have very little rights?
- colordrops 3y agoYes, I'm from the US. Despite many of the comments here stating the contrary, I've been working in large tech companies for 30 years, and almost every termination has been an immediate walk out, severance or not. At one of the companies which I won't name, they didn't even let people go to their desks to get their personal items.
