Why The Two Week Notice Is Becoming Obsolete
It’s becoming more and more apparent that giving the traditional two week notice when leaving a job is becoming obsolete! The Mike & Carla Morning Show talked about the art of giving your typical “two week” notice. However, as of late, this is becoming more of a thing of the past!
The main reason could be that employees are starting to realize that they are not given the same courtesy. And the other fact is that the two week notice benefits the employer more so than the employee.
Oh sure, you still get paid, but if you don’t like where you’re working then maybe you should just leave. Or should you? Giving your employer your notice allows them time to ramp up someone else to do your job! On the other hand, depending on your situation it might very well behoove you do give the heads up. On the other hand, why?
Some listeners talked about their own situations where it was so bad, they went to lunch and just never went back! Every situation is different of course, but once you’ve made that decision it’s time for you to stand by it. Productivity is a key factor when leaving a job. You have to hold yourself accountable for the next step in your life.
We also found out that more people are being extra unique with their notices. One woman talked about using a song over the intercom to give her notice and to basically say, “Take This Job and Shove It”! That country song made famous by Johnny Paycheck back in 1977.
On the other hand, you do want to be careful not to screw up anything due to you in severance or even vacation pay. If you want our recommendation, don’t burn the bridge before leaving, take the high road and just tell your employer you are moving on. So listen to the segment and you decide… and enjoy!
