I'm interested in your thoughts on "Seven-week Notice." What are your thoughts about this || Do you think you have the right to ask? If so, how do you think it can be addressed?
You can give a seven-week notice, and it is generally acceptable as a professional courtesy, even if not legally required. The custom is to give two weeks' notice, so giving more is often seen as a way to leave on good terms, facilitate a smooth transition, and maintain a positive professional relationship. However, check your employment contract and employee handbook to see if there's a specific notice period you are contractually obligated to follow.
When to give more notice
- Professional courtesy: Giving more notice than the standard two weeks is a professional courtesy that helps your employer with the transition period, such as training your replacement or passing on outstanding tasks.
- Contractual obligation: Some employment contracts may require a longer notice period. You are obligated to follow these terms to avoid penalties like losing benefits or having to pay damages.
- Unique knowledge: If you have unique knowledge or are working on a large project, more notice is helpful to ensure a smooth handover.
What to do before giving notice
- Check your contract and handbook: Review your employment contract and employee handbook to see if there is a specific notice period you must adhere to.
- Consult HR or a lawyer: If you are unsure about your obligations or have a contract that requires more than two weeks' notice, consult your HR department or a lawyer to ensure you are compliant. https://youtube.com/shorts/m3X6HPX0K4g?si=sv-Yk1C5PcyBgQqJ

Giving a two-week notice warns the employer that you are going to leave, so they can make suitable alternative arrangements to fill the vacancy arising due to your leave. In the meantime, your arrears can also be settled, so you are not leaving empty-handed.
Have you ever left a job with no backup plan? Why?
Layoff backup plan was in place until I was without a job longer than anticipated. Therefore I would NEVER buy a car or anything associated with any of their brands!
Your new employer wants you to start immediately but your current employer wants you to finish a two-week notice period. What do you do?
Finish your two weeks let your new boss know what's going on
Respectfully talk to your future employer that as a professional want to give 2 weeks notice if they don’t understand maybe you need to work there
Is a two-week notice still important when resigning? Why or why not?
Absolutely
From what I've been told. A two week notice is not necessary but for me it is. If a company took the time to hire me and put enough faith in me; then, the least I can do is give them two weeks in order for them to find a replacement.
What is the best or worst experience you've had when quitting a job?
My boss was furious when I resigned and almost didn't talk to me during my two-week notice.

Yes, Need to give time for Employer to replace you
Yes. It allows the company enough time to find your replacement that way their isn't any down time or extra work for others. It also shows good character. Not to mention your will be leaving on good terms.

This is how I found each of my jobs. I’ve never gotten a job through the traditional application/interview process.
@Bill Branstetter To me it’s not because it’s possible the new job won’t come through and you’ll be unemployed. Plus companies don’t generally give two weeks notice when they lay people off. I’ve never given a two weeks notice and I haven’t had any adverse effects on any future employment. At the end of the day it’s business, and I need to do what’s best for me.

How did your employer respond to your resignation? What did they do well or poorly?
Horrible! 😔 Not to flatter myself but, I was literally the only employee (Captain Driver/ store Assistance Manager) that actually went by the books & always did above & beyond for the company. The day I decided to give my 2 weeks notice because of all the overwhelming constant stress; they offered "A better work environment & pay" (having me transfered). Little did I know it was just to put me in the worst situation anyone should ever go through. Never in my life have I ever felt so unappropriated, unworthy & heart broken. The company I learned to love & grow wasn't what I expected. Long story short, I gave my 2 weeks notice; they transferred me & cut down my hours. Then, they suspended me for something I didn't commit; so missed 2 weeks worth of employment. After, their whole investigation finished; took them 2 whole weeks. They said " I'm extremely sorry for all this misunderstanding I hope this didn't cause to much trouble. I understand you had already summited a 2 weeks notice. It does sadden me you are leaving us, especially since you have so much potential to become your own store manager. We appreciate all you have done not only to 1 store but multiple of our stores. Your name was always going around here at the office. I know we can keep you but whenever you are ready to come back your position will be waiting for you". 😂 Just like that, kicked to the curb! Shows how much they really do appreciate the real loyalty of those who really love & care for their career. Such a shame to be honest! NEVER AGAIN
@Bill Branstetter I resigned from a trucking company in 2021 to work for another company. The owners didn’t want to verify my employment and they ghost terminated the same day. Luckily the company was able to verify my employment with my check stubs. I am now representing a class action lawsuit against that company. They are a small company so it’s going to have a huge financial impact on them.
Your new employer wants you to start immediately but your current employer wants you to finish a two-week notice period. What do you do?
Put. In 2week notice,vaca. Start new
Do my best to give what he or she wants.
It was at one time customary to give two weeks notice. Presently a week seems to be the norm.
