I gave Live Picture roughly five months advance notice. My resignation letter pointed out the reasons I would be leaving, and that I would do so once I was assured that the product I was working on - also called Live Picture - was In The Can.
I didn't give Geonex Verde any notice. Although the verbal offer for my next position gave me plenty of time to give notice, there were some delays in getting a real written offer letter.
We had just bought some new printers. Back in the old days when I was but a pollywog, one had to write one's own printer drivers. I suggested to my boss that I do so, but he said there was a higher priority project that I should complete first.
However had I left without writing the printer driver, the company would have been quite screwed. So I wrote the driver in secret. My very last day at the company I presented the company president with some sample prints.
"Hey, these hardcopies look great!"
"Thanks. I have some bad news for you Scott..."
Consider as well that resigning in protest might really be the ethical thing to do. Don't just write a rant or a flame, but a well though out, lucidly composed letter - then email it to everyone else in the company. I've done that as well. But if you do this, be prepared to get fired on the spot.
You could then - maybe, hopefully - take comfort in your protest resignation saving the company.
