  I plan to go into work wearing nothing but my work boots. I don’t think the two weeks notice will be required

  It’s not that odd, it is a direct consequence of the complete loss of worker’s rights in the US.

  Isn’t it odd that you can be fired immediately for any reason (in America, anyway)

  This is why we need more unions.

  That’s why you try to line up the new job before you quit - they can’t talk shit about you quitting on short notice if you’re still there.

  I actually tried to give two weeks at my old job - they didn’t deserve it, but I figured I should. The application for my new job even had a checkbox labeled “I am currently employed and will need two weeks notice of my first shift.”

  Instead, they called me on a monday and asked “can you start next monday?”

  …My boss wasn’t in that day, and I really wanted a weekend before starting my new job; so on Tuesday, they found out that Friday was my last day.

  The one blemish on my resume is a job I stayed at for a month. I was hired for one job but was told I had to start on a lower job just to get the swing of things. Fine enough. When I started in the position I was hired for, another person in the “entry” job confronted the supervisor about his promises to do the job I was hired for. On another occasion, the big boss (wasn’t a very large business. Most of the higher ups were family) comes in and says “Due to the high amount of samples, we need to work Saturday. I’ll start with volunteers” I took that as (and my coworkers verified) "If nobody volunteers, I’m going to start forcing. " I ended up leaving after one month, no notice. When I left, the supervisor told me he had hoped to put me in another position they were making. Nope. Didn’t work for me. I had left a note saying it was pretty messed up that the coworkers were lied to. Best thing I did. Went to another business for a year and left under more amicable circumstances. Now I’m happy in a job where I’ve been for the past 11 years.

  i don’t leave a job expecting a recommendation for another. so yeah. i give as much notice as i feel would be helpful to my peers. if ive been talking openly about leaving then they already know where my docs and such are.

  You can both end your employment immediately, and just like it’s nice of you to give notice it’s also nice of them to give severance pay

  • prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I imagine the overwhelming majority of employees are not getting any kind of severance.

    And severance pay and notice of layoffs are de facto fairly common in corporate America.

    • rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Notice of layoffs and layoff severance are required by WARN act. It’s not just a defacto thing, it was a hard fought victory for labor rights

        WARN Only kicks in at a 100 people or more laid off, and it only goves you 60 days notice, not any extra pay or benefits.

        Its basically the least they can do, and the 100 person threshold gives lots of Orgs plently of room to skirt it by doing small, and steady layoffs instead.

  Many states are right to work, meaning that you can quit anytime. Unless you have stuff in a contract requiring notice, quitting without notice does not have legal repercussions. If you’re rage quitting a job, no sane person would use them as a reference. Finally, the bridges we burn light the path forward.

    You mean “at will” not “right to work”: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_employment en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law?wprov=sft…
