Members murch33 Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 I would. It's good to have a paper trail. Makes it "official". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wilbo26 Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 Definately hand in a written notice. That way you can prove you gave notice and didn't just quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hyphy Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 I don't know. I'm a boss now, but when I was coming up, when I wanted to quit, I'd just get out. Sometimes tha game tries to pull ya back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuyaGuy Posted June 30, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 yeah, i think the paper trail theory is probably true. i'm sure it won't ever be am issue but it doesn't hurt.i'm a bit of a manager so i guess it's proper form. or something.i think i'll write it in ABBCA iambic pentameter!

Members Narcosynthesis Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 A paper trail makes it official, not some comment to your manager that he has since forgotten about Every company is different with qhen they rwequire written notice and so on though, so I don't know when you would need it (or if at all depending on how relaxed your place of work) David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dot-dot-dot Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 I have to give 3 months notice. I gather things are much more slack in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine having to do a job for 3 months knowing that I'm just going to leave at the end. Hell 2 weeks seems like forever to me. That was the beauty of getting laid off. Only had to finish out the week, and then got 2 weeks paid vacation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gather things are much more slack in the US. well...yeah.things move faster here. not much unemployment to rely on. so you want to go directly from one position to the next. or, as in my case, from one position to the mean streets of the most densely populated city in the nation without any job prospects. here one month is proper, 2 weeks expected. but arizona is a "right to work" state, meaning employment can end at any time for any reason--and that goes for quitting or firing. so you can give 30 seconds notice if you want.

Members Mike Sr. Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 If you ever want to work there again, or ever think you will need referance from that job in the future, definitly give 2 weeks notice thanking them for giving you the chance to work for them. Remember, depending on where you work in the future, you don't have to list this place for you potential boss to find out about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
